THALES REINFORCES AIR SURVEILLANCE CAPABILITIES FOR SWEDEN WITH SMART-L MULTI-MISSION LONG-RANGE RADARS
A next-generation Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) multi-mission land-based radar, the SMART-L MM/F provides long-range air and surface surveillance and target designation.

The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has signed an agreement with Thales for the delivery and installation of SMART-L Multi-Mission land-based long-range radars. The SMART L MM/F will contribute to maintaining Swedish airspace sovereignty and will provide superior situational awareness at all times.
Away from the frontlines, long-range radars are critical assets to gain and maintain airspace sovereignty. Designed to actively detect and track multiple targets at long ranges, these radars continuously monitor the location of friendly and enemy aerial systems. Given the multitude of threats and conflicts in constant evolution, building a reliable, accurate, up-to-date Recognized Air Picture (RAP) is becoming a challenge.
Today, the naval and land versions of the SMART-L MM radar are operational in the Royal Netherlands Navy and Royal Netherlands Air Force.
SMART-L Multi-Mission (MM/F), is a next-generation long-range multi-mission radar for air and space surveillance and Ballistic Missile detection, with applied high-end techniques resulting in a radar with an unrivalled long-range performance of up to 2000 km. Thanks to its digital architecture, and AESA antenna the radar is easily upgradable and prepared for future and for the duration of its lifespan.
