The Zoopark-1 1L-219 radar antenna array is the main component responsible for transmitting and receiving radio waves. The phased array antenna (PAA) is manufactured using a pressure casting method on an injection molding machine made of plastic. The PAA is designed as a modular construction. The modular design allowed for low labor intensity in manufacturing the PAA and, in conjunction with the use of standardized phase calculator cells for controlling phase shifters, simplicity in assembly, tuning, and repair of the PAA during operation. The phased array antenna scans the battlefield for enemy artillery fire, detecting the position and trajectory of projectiles. The Zoopark-1 counter-battery radar system features a phased array antenna, which does not require physical rotation like traditional rotating radar dishes. Instead, it employs electronic beam steering to scan large areas of the battlefield quickly and efficiently. The antenna is designed to be raised for operation and lowered for transport. When deployed, the antenna stands vertically, while in transport mode, it is stowed horizontally on the roof, minimizing the vehicle's height. The radar is able to detect mortar fire at a distance from 13 to 17 km, while the maximum detection range for artillery fire is 12 km and 22 km for MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) rocket fire. It can simultaneously track up to 4 targets with an azimuth coverage from 40 to 60°. The Zoopark-1 is fully autonomous and requires only five minutes for setup.

The tracked version of the Zoopark-1 1L-219 counter-battery radar system is mounted on the MT-LB, a Soviet multi-purpose fully amphibious auxiliary armored tracked vehicle. The wheeled version of the Zoopark-1 is mounted on the BAZ-6909, a versatile 8x8 wheeled vehicle developed in Russia. The vehicle cabin houses the radar operator, data analyst, and driver. It is equipped with workstations, monitors, and communication equipment, enabling the crew to analyze radar data, determine the location of enemy artillery, and relay the information to friendly forces. The MT-LB vehicle features a welded steel hull, which offers protection against small arms fire and shell splinters. However, it is not designed to withstand direct hits from heavy weapons or artillery. The primary focus of the Zoopark-1 radar system is its mobility and ability to rapidly deploy and relocate, which helps increase survivability on the battlefield.
