The ESR 220 system is a highly mobile solid state L-band 2D surveillance radar designed to provide early warning to mechanised troops in the battlefield. It is a fully autonomous armoured system with self-contained power plant packaged on a single vehicle, and is capable of being fully operational within 10 minutes of arrival at the deployment site.

The system also provides for a combined air picture derived from primary radar and IFF, as well as a Command and Control system for effective Air Defence Control operation.

The system is currently in production, and a number of ESR 220L's have been delivered to the South African Army. The high mobility nature of the system, which is transported on an all-terrain 8x8 transporter, coupled to the battlefield-specific local warning sensor design, make the system a pivotal element of the South African Army Ground-based Air Defence System.

The RSR 210N is a lightweight X-Band 2D naval air/sea surveillance radar designed for application on smaller naval and coastguard vessels. This radar, which provides coverage to beyond 50 km, may be supplied with a dedicated console or may be interfaced to a Combat Management System. It is specifically suitable for helicopter support operations aboard ship. The system is derived from the RTS 6400 tracking radar currently in service with the SA Navy.

The EDR 120 system is a 30 km 2D L-band solid state Designation Radar designed to provide designation data to a fire directing system in a layered air defence scenario. This system was very successfully demonstrated, together with the ETS 2400 tracking system, as part of the South African-developed DART air defence technology demonstrator.
