Technical Data
-
Radar
The X-band radar of the 50N6A is mounted at the rear of the truck chassis. In combat position, three stabilizers are deployed on each side of the chassis.
-
Design and protection
The 50N6A radar is mounted on a BAZ-6909 8x8 high-mobility wheeled chassis, which ensures excellent off-road capability and reliable performance in diverse terrains and conditions. This mobile platform allows for rapid deployment and repositioning as needed. The radar employs phased array technology, providing rapid electronic beam steering for precise target tracking and missile guidance. The crew operates the radar from a protected cabin integrated into the vehicle chassis. This cabin is armored, offering protection against small arms fire and shrapnel, ensuring the safety of the operators in hostile environments. The radar system itself is situated on the vehicle's rear, allowing for a clear and unobstructed field of view essential for its operational effectiveness.

Mobility
The 50N6A MFMTR Multi-Function Mobile Tracking Radar uses a 6x6 truck chassis BAZ-69092-12. This a three axle chassis with a wheel arrangement of 6x6, a three-seat cab and a behind-the-cab engine. The engine is the YaMZ-8424.10-033 multi-fuel four-stroke eight cylinder V-type liquid cooled diesel with a power of 450 hp. This truck can run at a maximum speed of 80 km/h with a maximum road range of 1,000 km.

Combat Equipment
The roof-mounted MFMTR X-band phased array radar of the fire-control system can detect and track up to 40 targets simultaneously and engage eight of them typically using two missiles per target to ensure a high-kill probability. The MSAM is capable of engaging aircraft, helicopters, UAVs and tactical ballistic missile target sets. The MFMTR radar provides a Simultaneous target detection, multiple target tracking and the missile up-link. The radar contains a Rotating phased-array antenna (60 rpm) with Full electronic scanning, with large deflection (+/- 45° in elevation and bearing).
