The operational "heart", of a (V)SHORAD unit is the system integrating equipment that functionally combines target detection, threat evaluation, target tracking and weapon engagement control. The original FLYCATCHER and today's Mk2 are such systems.
Early warning and alert of stand-alone (V)SHORAD weapon systems is an absolute must in the Air Defence Battle. PAGE is a surveillance radar that fulfils this requirement, with its own specific performance and operational advantages.
Timely detection, short reaction, accurate tracking, fast and reliable lead angle computation are of vital importance, especially in a multi target environment. MiRADOR is a Weapon Control System that brings (V)SHORAD weapon systems up to the required effectiveness level.
