BOR-A 550
BOR-A 550 is a ground and coast surveillance radar, developed by Thales Group. The radar operates on the I band, it is also man-portable and can locate targets up to a distance of 40 km in a 360° sector. It has also proven useful to locate small and slow targets, like persons or rubber boats.[1][2][3]
The BOR-A 560 is a more powerful version with longer range.[2]
The successor of the BOR-A family is the Ground Observer 80 (GO80) radar system.[4]
