Commander SL

Long range air defence radar

BAE Systems is at the forefront of radar technology, delivering

sensor systems that give military commanders superior
situational awareness and air defence solutions.
Proven in real operational conditions and extreme
environments, the robust, agile Commander radar system
provides high availability with superior, consistent and
reliable performance. It supports both local and integrated
Command and Control of air defence forces while operating
from prepared or unprepared locations, in static or mobile
configurations.
