Must be a Giraffe Truck ---- Ericsson Microwave Systems of Sweden has in international competition won a multi-million dollar contract from Venezuela for four air defence radars. The Venezuelan army has selected the Giraffe 75 tactical surveillance radar and combat control centre. The radar will be used together with the army's air defence missile systems. Total order value is not announced. The Venezuelan army is the 26th customer to select Giraffe radars for their air defence systems. Totally nearly 500 various Giraffe versions are on order or have been delivered. Giraffe 75 operates in the C-band, selected as the optimum trade-off for medium-range tactical radars when combining low level coverage with detection capability of small targets in clutter and in jammed situations. Digital doppler processing with CFAR is used to automatically extract, detect and present the targets. An automatic threat evaluation funtion and a special hovering helicopter detection channel are integrated in the radar. Its instrumented range is 75 km. Ericsson's 100,000 employees are active in more than 130 countries. Their combined expertise in fixed and mobile networks, mobile phones and infocom systems makes Ericsson a world-leading supplier in telecommunications.
