What else is there in place, to do that? Outside of the LEAPP sensors what AD radars do land have now Still not sure where you're going with this? There is a new in service networked Air Surveillance system to provide an air picture to a land HQ with a medium range radar, and including I think Link...

at the next level, v local anti-mortar/ counter-btry and AD FC radars A far as I know this kit (the next two parts of my point) are scheduled to go out of service fairly soon? Not sure about OSD for MAMBA, LCMR and ASP, but I thought they all had a good few years left. Outside of the LEAPP sensors ...

The uncivil Service has weaseled it's way out of a 17000 cut in bums on seats, and the Army is going to take the brunt. I'm never quite sure ...

Has it been confirmed that it has been added to Mod C? The main update is that the sensor will be used as t...

New joiner here, the the UK fleet is the AMB variant, not sure if the 4A is in service yet or who it is destined for.
