Mission Editor Description

The SAM S/A Radar (Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) designation: DS) is one of the two stationary Fire Control Radars available to the Enemy faction, the other being the SAM Fire Control Radar itself.

This unit uses a rotating dish radar to search for targets within the local airspace. It can be connected up to SAM launchers to provide targeting and launch authorization for them.

Distances and Usages

The SAM S/A Radar can scan in a full 360 degree field of view and has a very long locking range, although that does mean slower updates in pings per minute. This type of SAM radar is generally best employed in wide open and elevated areas, such as on top of airport towers or hills. It has a detection range of about 55km (30nmi).
