Brazilian Army Orders Four Saber M60 Radars

(06 Apr 2022, 12:12 +07)  The Brazilian Army has signed a contract with Embraer to extend the use of Saber M60 radars for the army's Anti-Aircraft Artillery Units.

The deal, announced at FIDAE (Feria Internacional del Aire y del Espacio) 2022 in Santiago, includes the acquisition of four additional radar units (V2.0).

The Saber M60 is a search radar that integrates a low-altitude anti-aircraft defense system to protect strategic points and areas, such as factories, power plants, and government facilities.

Using 3D technology, the radar has a range of 32 nautical miles and an altitude capacity of up to 16,400 feet, with the ability to track up to 60 targets simultaneously, including automatic target detection and classification.

Easy to assemble and transport, Saber M60 can be assembled in 15 minutes and includes Low Probability Interception (LPI) technology, which allows it to identify targets without being easily identified.

The Saber M60 can be integrated into missile-based weapons systems or anti-aircraft cannons and can be customized to be used with any other air defense system, such as the Brazilian Aerospace Defense System.

The Saber M60 Radar was developed in Brazil by Embraer and the Brazilian Army, first entering operation in 2010. The system was updated to version 2.0 in 2019.
