OVERVIEW: The RPS-42 Tactical Air Surveillance (TASRS) radar is a transportable/mobile, pulse doppler AESA radar.  It is intended to detect, classify and track aerial objects, particularly mini- and micro-UAVs at short ranges.  The system operates in the NATO "E" or "F" bands.  

DETAILS: The RPS-42 TASRS is designed for Very Short Range Air Defense (VSHORAD) against all threats, including all sizes of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

Specifications:

Frequency			2-4 GHz  (E-F band (NATO),  S Band (IEEE))
Power output: 			60W/panel (average); unknown (peak)
PRF:				unknown pps
Range Resolution:		50m
On/Off time: 			unknown min. 
Deploy/Stow time: 		N/A min
Maximum Range:			30 km (range), 30,000 feet (altitude)
				3.5km v. nano UAV
	  
 

NOTES:     The RPS-42 is capable of detecting exceptionally small, low and slow-flying UAS.  The system can be integrated into other C4I systems, and is capable of on-the-move operations. In use by Israel, USMC and South Korea.
