Raven ES-05, a high-performance, premium fire control radar, has higher reliability than mechanically scanned radars.

As part of the programme, Selex and Saab demonstrated radar modes in flight and integrated radar into the weapon system, proving real capability in very short timescales.

In the air-to-ground capability, Raven 1000P produced excellent medium and high-resolution SAR imagery at long range.
