System description

The system consists of a Surveillance and Control Center (SCC) and up to six Missile Control Centers (MCC).

Surveillance and Control Center

The Surveillance and Control Center (SCC) contains an Ericsson PS-70 Giraffe 3D reconnaissance radar, which is mounted on a 8-13 m high mast. One SCC can coordinate up to four MCCs.

In this configuration, the SCC can attack four targets with four guided missiles at the same time.

Missile Control Center

The Missile Control Center (MCC) are installed on trailers that can be pulled by different vehicles. The communication between MCC and SCC takes place either by radio or by cable. Each MCC contains a monopulse fire control radar that works in the Ka-band and an IR camera. The six anti-aircraft missiles per MCC have a horizontal range of 15 km and can attack targets up to 10,000 m. The system can be air-filled and is ready for use within 10 minutes.
