As the UK faces an increasingly complex threat environment, the demand for robust land-based radar solutions has intensified. The UK Armed Forces require versatile radar systems that can counter advanced aerial threats and detect and track hostile artillery. These challenges are compounded by the proliferation of sophisticated unmanned systems, stealth threats, and long-range weaponry, all of which necessitate rapid and precise response capabilities.

To strengthen air and ground defence infrastructure, the UK is prioritising adaptable, deployable radar solutions capable of meeting diverse operational needs. These multi-role radars must offer real-time situational awareness, early threat detection, and reliable target acquisition for both ground-based air defence (GBAD) and weapon location roles. Critical requirements also include enhanced mobility, resilience against jamming, and reliable performance in various environments, ensuring forces can respond effectively to fast-evolving threats.
