The radar will provide three significant capabilities in one system including doppler radar, transportability and the ability to transmit data over the GIG.

The portable system, which requires only four people to set up in 12 hours, can be easily moved around in theatre.

The data collected from the radar can be used in a stand-alone capacity or transmitted net-centrically as well over the GIG.
