Upon
the sufficient financing the MR-1 Radar System, manufactured by the Ukrainian
Scientific and Production Complex ‘Iskra’, might have been
tested for the compliance with the state standards already in 2015. This
was informed by Igor Presnyak, Director of the enterprise. |

 The equipment of the MR-1 is made on the up-to-date digital base, allowing it to integrate effectively into the military and civil airspace control systems. |

According
to the official, MR-1 Radar System is being developed and manufactured
exceptionally at the expense of the SE SPP ‘Iskra’. The specific
feature of the radar system is its allowance for air targets detection
made under ‘stealth’ technology.
“MR-1 has the number of significant advantages against the foreign radar systems of meter range. In particular, MR-1 has a short build up time (up to 5 min) compared to NEBO-SVU Radar System, build up time of which is 30 min. All equipment of our station is placed on one KRAZ motor vehicle in the comparison with three vehicles needed for 55Zh5 Radar System. The MR-1 Radar System allows making an assessment of the altitude of the target location. The VOSTOK-E Radar System has no such ability,” I. Presnyak stressed on. “As of today, we are limited in the possibility of investing our own financial resources for spare parts purchase and station manufacturing. This is due to the cutback in the state purchase orders and the necessity of upgrading of radar equipment, being manufactured by our enterprises, in order to keep its export potential. Full or partial financing of the works left by the state bodies should significantly speed up the terms of manufacturing of MR-1 radar system,” - the director of the enterprise emphasized |
