Ground Master 200 Multi Mission
Appearance
The Ground Master 200 Multi-Mission (GM200 MM) family is a series of medium-range radars manufactured by Thales Group. The GM200 MM family features 4D Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology, which is a ‘dual-axis multi-beam’ technology providing flexibility in both elevation and bearing.[1]
There are two radars within the GM200 MM family:[2]
- The GM200 MM/A (All-in-one) fits in a 20 ft ISO shelter and weighs ten tons. It includes a power generator unit, a 8m mast, and room for 2 workstations with the voice and data radio communications. The GM200 MM/A can be set up in 15 minutes and be operated remotely or locally. The primary missions of the GM200 MM/A are Air Surveillance and GBAD (Ground Based Air Defense) up to MRAD (Medium Range Air Defense).[3][4]
- The GM200 MM/C (Compact) is suited for Counter Battery and Weapon Locating operations and supports Very/ Short Ranged Air Defence (V/SHORAD) up to MRAD missions.[5] The radar is deployable in less than 2 minutes.[6]
Both radars are transportable by road, rail or tactical aircraft.[7]
The Ground Master 200 MM is the successor of the Ground Master 200, improving detection of small targets such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Rockets, Artillery and Mortars (RAM).[8]
The GM200 MM family is part of the Ground Master family (which includes the GM400α, GM60 and GM200).
