S. Korea Develops Counter-Battery Detection Radar System

South Korea has completed the development of a counter-battery radar system capable of locating the enemy’s firing positions for immediate retaliatory response.
 
The Defense Acquisition Program Administration(DAPA) said on Thursday that the system called “counter-artillery detection radar-II” will be mass produced starting early next year before being deployed to front-line units in phases.
 
The radar system is key for South Korea’s counter-fire assets to neutralize the North Korean long-range artillery guns threatening the capital region.
 
The system is capable of finding and determining the location of the enemy’s artillery forces more than 60 kilometers away.
