Meter range radar system “Resonance-H” can detect, recognize and produce targeting aerodynamic air targets at ranges 600 km, ballistic targets – to 1200 km, height to 100 km. A feature is the lack of complex in its design rotating antennas: round view of the space maintained by electronic means. This increases the reliability of radar, It increases their performance and reduces power consumption. Radar specially upgraded for operation in arctic conditions.
