The project began with the delivery of new vehicles on Monday, February 2, and the vehicles are already ready for sensor installation. According to the Ministry of Defense, radar provides early warning of the approach of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), enabling rapid response to potential threats.
According to an official statement, the system can distinguish drones from birds and other moving aerial objects, significantly reducing false alarms — a key element in continuous surveillance operations.
The official report did not specify the exact model of radar installed, but said the first batch was delivered in November. Meanwhile, the Ministry of National Defense announced late last fall that it had ordered 100 radars specialized in drone detection from the Dutch company Robin Radar.
