. The range of Matla-ul-Fajr-1 is 300 km and the max altitude is 20,000 m. When fully set up, the height of the system reaches eight meters and it uses 12 "Yagi" antennas installed in two rows. The whole system, containing the antennas, setup instruments, processing, controlling and displaying units, communication devices and power generator are all installed on a trailer to achieve a very good mobility. The radar is also equipped with ECCM to survive in an e-warfare environment. Matla-ul-fajr can use 100 different frequencies in the VHF band to operate in jammed environments. In the same year, a project to enhance the capabilities of radar was started by SAIRAN and
