Among the typical threats posed by fixed and rotary wings, small UAVs represent an increasing threat in the theatre of operation. With their small signature and high manoeuvrability, small UAVs can take troops by surprise in conventional and asymmetric warfare.
The engagement of traditional air threats such as pop-up helicopters and ground support aeroplanes, and in parallel new small UAV threats, calls for dedicated radar technology. HENSOLDT´s Spexer 2000 3D MKIII has been designed to provide detection data and target classification at an early stage to efficiently counter these threats during on-the-move or stationary operation.
