Radar Info from Jane's

The radar used in the French Army and export versions of the post is the Thomson-CSF 2D solid-state 2630P model. It is mounted on a hydraulic mast for raising above the carrier vehicle when stationary so as to improve the low level detection range coverage. The detection range is approximately 18 000 m against aircraft and between 8000 and 9000 m against hovering helicopters. Automation of the radar functions described above is performed through real-time data processing. The post can monitor up to eight firing units including the Aspic systems and. if required, other weapon types such MANPADS missile systems or anti-airciaft guns through tactical terminals. The maximum distance between the post and the firing unit is 5000 m. Data transmission Thomson-CSF Samantha VSHORAD mobile command and control post during trials with the French Armybetween them is via a radio frequency data link. The available firepower display can be adapted to meet the expected threat and to show the available anti-aircraft assets. The Samantha system is the mobile shelter version for carriage on a truck chassis and is fitted with full NBC and EMI protection
