TheEL/M-2090 TERRA is an Israeli ground-based very long rangeearly-warning radar system produced byElta Systems, asubsidiary ofIsrael Aerospace Industries IAI. It is composed of 2 radars: theUHF Ultra and theS band SPECTRA. TERRA's performance is achieved through automatic handover and redundancy between the ULTRA and SPECTRA radars, combined with improved target load sharing,Electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) and severe-weather resilience.[1] The system can be used for ballistic missiles and space objects detection and tracking at very long ranges.[2]
Both Spectra and Ultra areactive electronically scanned array (AESA) radars that are made up of thousands of transmit/receive modules and usegallium nitride technology (GaN) to enhance their efficiency.[3]
