The AN/PPS-5C Man-portable Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar (MSTAR) is a versatile, low-power, ground surveillance radar. MSTAR provides wide-area surveillance coverage to a maximum range of 42 Km, night or day, in all weather conditions with a very low probability of intercept (LPI). Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in both combat and peacekeeping missions during the Persian Gulf war and in operations in the Balkans and Afghanistan.

 

MSTAR is transportable by 2 men and placed into action in less than three minutes. The simple to operate Man Machine Interface (MMI) allows rapid self - location and surveillance area set up while providing sophisticated interface support features. MSTAR locates moving targets and uniquely classifies them as personnel, tracked or wheeled vehicle.
