Estonia's Centre for Defence Investment (ECDI) has ordered two Thales Ground Master (GM) 400 Alpha radars for county's air force, it was announced at Paris Air Show last week.
Estonia is a long-standing user of the radar family since its acquisition of two GM400s in 2009 which received mid-life upgrades in 2022.
Designed for mobility, the GM400 Alpha fits into a 20ft container with built-in lift systems for rapid redeployment.
Leveraging field experience, GaN technology and a digital architecture, the GM400 Alpha provides five times more processing power, an increase in instrumented range of 10% (515km) and is compatible with artificial intelligence capabilities.
