The other radar system unveiled is named “Moraqeb,” which literally means “one that monitors.” It is an accurate, 3D, phased-array modern strategic radar system with a range of 400 kilometres. It can spot airborne targets with very high precision and can detect small targets at low and medium altitudes. It can also spot stealth and unmanned aircraft.
