The Ground Master 200 Multi-Mission (GM200 MM) is a family of medium-range ground-based radars developed and manufactured by Thales.[5][6] Benefiting from the technology of the land-based Ground Master 200 and naval NS100/200 radar systems, the GM200 MM family consists of the GM200 MM/A, designed and manufactured in France, on the one hand; and the GM200 MM/C on the other, developed by the company's Dutch subsidiary, Thales Nederland, for, and in consultation with, the Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA).[5] The two radars feature 4D Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology, a ‘dual-axis multi-beam’ technology providing flexibility in both elevation and bearing.[7]

The first delivery of the GM200 MM/C to the RNLA took place on 14 February 2024.[8]

Design

[edit | edit source]

There are two radars within the GM200 MM family:[9]

  • The GM200 MM/A (All-in-one) fits in a 20 ft ISO container and weighs 10 tons. It includes a power generator unit, an 8-meter-high-antenna, and room for 2 workstations with the voice and data radio communications. The GM200 MM/A can be set up in 15 minutes and be operated remotely or locally. The primary missions of the GM200 MM/A are Air Surveillance and GBAD (Ground Based Air Defence) up to MRAD (Medium Range Air Defence).[10][11]
  • The GM200 MM/C (Compact) is suited for Counter Battery and Weapon Locating operations and supports Very Short Ranged Air Defence (V/SHORAD) up to Medium range air defense (MRAD) missions.[9] The radar is deployable in less than 2 minutes.[12]

Both radars are transportable by road, rail or tactical aircraft.[13]

The Ground Master 200 MM is a variant of the Ground Master 200, improving detection of small targets such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Rockets, Artillery and Mortars (RAM).[14]
