The Ground Master 200 Multi-Mission (GM200 MM) family is a series of medium-range radars manufactured by Thales Group. The GM200 MM family features 4D Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology, which is a ‘dual-axis multi-beam’ technology providing flexibility in both elevation and bearing.[1]

There are two radars within the GM200 MM family:[2]

  • The GM200 MM/A (All-in-one) fits in a 20 ft ISO shelter and weighs 10 tons. It includes a power generator unit, a 8-meter-high-antenna, and room for 2 workstations with the voice and data radio communications. The GM200 MM/A can be set up in 15 minutes and be operated remotely or locally. The primary missions of the GM200 MM/A are Air Surveillance and GBAD (Ground Based Air Defence) up to MRAD (Medium Range Air Defence).[3][4]
  • The GM200 MM/C (Compact) is suited for Counter Battery and Weapon Locating operations and supports Very Short Ranged Air Defence (V/SHORAD) up to Medium range air defense (MRAD) missions.[2] The radar is deployable in less than 2 minutes.[5]

Both radars are transportable by road, rail or tactical aircraft.[6]

The Ground Master 200 MM is a variant of the Ground Master 200, improving detection of small targets such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Rockets, Artillery and Mortars (RAM).[7]

The GM200 MM is part of the Ground Master family (which includes the GM200 it is derived from as well as the short-range GM60 and long range GM400 and their respective variants).
