The radar of the Zoopark-1M 1L260 is mounted at the front of the hull's roof. The radar itself consists of an antenna array, which is usually collapsible or foldable, allowing for ease of transportation and rapid deployment when needed. The antenna array is mounted on a mast, which can be raised or lowered to achieve optimal positioning and coverage. The antenna array of the 1L260 radar system is a crucial component responsible for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic signals to detect and track enemy artillery, mortars, and multiple rocket launch systems (MRLS). The 1L260 radar system is capable of detecting 155mm artillery shells at distances up to 23 kilometers and 203mm shells at ranges of 27 km. For artillery rockets, it can identify them within a range of 32 to 45 km. A tactical ballistic missile, similar in size to an ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System), can be detected at a range of 65 km. The 1L260 boasts a quick deployment or evacuation time of five minutes and can operate for over eight hours, tracking up to 12 targets simultaneously. In terms of azimuth coverage, it spans a sector between 2.5 and 90°.

The 1L260 Zoopark-1M is based on the hull of the GM-5955 tracked chassis which is also used for the TOR-M1 mobile air defense missile system. The three-man crew includes the vehicle commander, system operator, and vehicle driver, all of whom are seated in the front of the vehicle with the large box-like unmanned turret in the center and the engine compartment at the rear. The driver is located on the left side of the vehicle front and has a windscreen immediately in front which, if required, may be covered by a hatch cover hinged at the top. This arrangement is similar to that used previously on the Kub (SA-6) and Shilka (ZSU-23-4) vehicles.
