Rada, the Israeli defence electronic systems house specializing in the design, development, production and sales of advanced airborne and land applications was selected by Boeing to supply its Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar (MHR) as part of the American company's Future Directed Energy Tactical Systems programme. The Rada pulse-doppler MHRs well exceed the role of simple ground surveillance radars since they in fact ensure full hemispheric coverage. As a matter of fact field testing did not start with ground surveillance, but what is probably the most difficult task, which is an application known as C-ram, followed by drone detection and tracking, showing the systems capacity to pick very small targets. Ground surveillance modes are under development to provide a radar capable of full 3-D protection.
