The Ground Master 200 Multi-Mission (GM200 MM) family is a series of medium-range radars manufactured by Thales Group. The GM200 MM family features 4D Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology, which is a ‘dual-axis multi-beam’ technology providing flexibility in both elevation and bearing.
There are two radars within the GM200 MM family:
The GM200 MM/A (All-in-one) fits in a 20 ft ISO shelter and weighs 10 tons. It includes a power generator unit, a 8-meter-high-antenna, and room for 2 workstations with the voice and data radio communications. The GM200 MM/A can be set up in 15 minutes and be operated remotely or locally. The primary missions of the GM200 MM/A are Air Surveillance and GBAD (Ground Based Air Defence) up to MRAD (Medium Range Air Defence). The GM200 MM/C (Compact) is suited for Counter Battery and Weapon Locating operations and supports Very Short Ranged Air Defence (V/SHORAD) up to Medium range air defense (MRAD) missions. The radar is deployable in less than 2 minutes.
Both radars are transportable by road, rail or tactical aircraft.
The Ground Master 200 MM is a variant of the Ground Master 200, improving detection of small targets such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Rockets, Artillery and Mortars (RAM).
The GM200 MM is part of the Ground Master family (which includes the GM200 it is derived from as well as the short-range GM60 and long range GM400 and their respective variants).
