Iran Tests Home-Made Long-Range Radar System
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran announced that it has successfully tested its home-made long range radar system that is able to cover a range of several thousands kilometers.
The new radar system has the ability to detect objects at a range of several thousand kilometers, Managing-Director of the Electronics Company Sa-Iran Ebrahim Mohammadzadeh told FNA.
He reiterated that the test was successful, and expressed the hope that the new radar system would become operational in the next few years.
Mohammmadzadeh also lauded Iran's achievements in the field of technology, saying that the country currently has the capability to design and manufacture advanced radar systems.
Late in June, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps has put into operation new home-made long-range radar that enables its forces to monitor low-altitude satellites.
Speaking about the latest military equipment and achievements displayed by the IRGC in the recent missile drills, Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said, "In addition to (underground) missile launching silos, the Qadir radar system which covers areas (maximum) 1,100km in distance and 300km in altitude was put into operation for the first time."
"The Qadir radar system has been designed and built to identify aerial targets, radar-evading aircrafts, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles as well as low-altitude satellites," Hajizadeh added.
The commander said that the radar was tested in the second phase of the IRGC's recent drills, codenamed Payambar-e Azam (The Great Messenger) 6.
