The MMR family supports Artillery Weapon Location & Air Defense operational missions and provides optimal solutions for short, medium and long range missions. The latest QPVN television reported that Israel's modern air defense weapons have officially appeared in combat ready, in the Vietnam.

In the report, "S300 Missile Training Training - PMU1" and documentary "People's Army of Vietnam - Some pictures of training exercises in 2017", multi-purpose radar ELM-2084 is on the service and PKKQ troops have officially appeared in the state of combat.

The presence of the ELM-2084 multi-purpose radar in a state of combat allows us to be assured that PK-KQ is fully operational, ready to take on the task of managing the airspace, "Not for the country to be defeated by airborne situations."

Accompanying the ELM-2288ER, the deployment of modern ELM-2084 multi-functional radar complexes marks the stepping stone of the sky-clearing network for Vietnam's air defense forces.

The EL/M-2084 was developed by the ELTA Company of the IAI Group (Israel) since 2002 in response to the threat of short range rockets and rocket attacks by Islamic militant groups. like Hezbollah, Hamas.

EL/M-2084 was tested during the 2008-2009 Gaza War as an early warning radar, detecting Hamas artillery fire and joining the Israeli Army's 2010 mission.

As a fire-control radar, the ELM-2084 first tested success on April 7, 2011 as it assisted the Iron Dome system to intercept a jet-fired missile launching from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory. .

Throughout the Gaza Strip, the ELM-2084 has proven its superior performance. Currently, ELM-2084 is popular in many countries, such as India, Singapore, Azerbaijan, Canada.

Even the Czech Republic, a well known nation in the field of radar technology with the famous products such as VERA, RL-3DM Reunion ... also ordered 8 sets of radars of this type. Since its launch, the IAI has achieved record sales of 100 ELM-2084 radars with a total value of $ 1.9 billion.

Excellent tactical features

According to the manufacturer's introduction, the ELM-2084 is a modern multi-functional S-wave radar that can perform a wide variety of tasks including: aerial view; anti-aircraft missile defense or intercept missiles; detecting artillery, mortars, rocket artillery and locating their battlefields.

With its modular design, AESA, ELM-2084 has the ability to resist electronic pressure as well as simultaneously detect and track dozens of hundreds of flying targets with high resolution.

The ELM-2084 is primarily a radio spotlight cum-bin for advanced Israeli missile/interceptor missile complexes such as BARAK-8, SPYDER-MR, Iron Dome, and David's Sling.

Radar has the farthest distance to 410 km of aerial targets, and up to 100 km (or even 250 km) in locating the firing/firing of enemy artillery/missiles, providing full-featured three-parameter target intelligence for computer systems for automatic combat command.

For enemy positioning/launching of rocket/missile mode discovery distance: up to 100 km (or up to 250 km). Scanning angle azimuth 120o; Angle: 50o. Accuracy: 0.25% of target error (CEP); Targets processed at the same time: 200 goals/min.

Currently, few radar-based radar-based missiles have the capability to perform well, such as the ELM-2084, which is comparable to the US Marine Corps, which owns a multi-radar radar. AN/TPS-80 Ground/Aerial Direction.

The unique advantages of the ELM-2084

Target remote detection, automatic transmission of three parameters (distance, azimuth, elevation) to the command headquarters integrated. Perform multiple tasks at the same time, anti-aircraft missile defense or intercept missiles; detecting artillery, mortars, rocket artillery and locating their battlefields.

Quick update, close to the active trajectory, depicts the real-time battlefield panorama for commanders and fire units, engraving of small flying objects, stealth, action at super low altitude.

Calculate the explosion points of artillery, mortars, missiles against the enemy. The area of ​​the array antenna can expand according to task and configuration. Operate effectively in high-tech electronic warfare environments, dense interferences. Remote control, deployment time, quick recall and maneuverability on any terrain.

Compact design can be transported on a variety of vehicles.

The perfect match for Vietnam's artillery reconnaissance radar

Like the ELM-2288ER radar that the Vietnam Defense has equipped, ELM-2084 multigrade radar (MMR) radar has also been developed by Israel's IAI ELTA.

If it is exploited well, it will definitely be an extremely powerful weapon, playing a key role not only in the airspace, but also in support of artillery combat command in high tech war conditions.

The ELM-2084MMR can be used for accurate positioning of enemy artillery fire brigades, including guided artillery.


In fact, the ELM-2084 was created to meet the needs of Israeli artillery forces in dealing with short range ballistic missiles by Islamic militant groups firing on Israeli territory.

The ELM-2084 was first used by the Israeli Artillery Reconnaissance Unit 611 and proved to be effective as an artillery radar.

Currently, our artillery radar role belongs to the relatively long-running SNAR-10 and the ELM-2084MMR emerges as a potential substitute candidate for many specifications: distance Detection, target number tracking, accuracy ...

It can be said that, with the ELM-2084 radar, the PKKQ troops have a guard, an "eye" for protecting the skies of the country, "not to leave the Fatherland in the air. case " .


In addition, we can rely on the ability of the ELM-2084 radar to continue to be assigned artillery radar missions in the Navy Artillery or Naval Forces, Accurate navigation for sharp arrows such as Accular, and Extra.
