MAR (Mobile Search Radar)

MAR is a mobile air defense search radar developed by ASELSAN. It is designed to detect and track low-altitude aerial targets, enhancing the early warning and threat assessment capabilities of air defense systems.

Operating in the X-band, the radar provides 3D target data and demonstrates high effectiveness against UAVs, helicopters, and aircraft flying at low altitudes. Thanks to its high mobility, it rapidly adapts to tactical field conditions and can be deployed in short. Thanks to advanced electronic scanning (AESA) technology, it can simultaneously track multiple targets.

MAR was developed to operate primarily in integration with the KORKUT and HISAR like air defense systems. With its Local and national software infrastructure, it provides tactical flexibility while reducing external dependency.

Primary Mission and Features

MAR continuously scans the airspace up to a range of 70+ km to detect, track, and classify enemy elements. It accurately and reliably analyzes threats such as fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs, and air-to-surface missiles. The 3D air picture it generates can be shared in real time with connected command and control systems and commands can be received from them. When required, it can also operate as a independent.
