Next generation weapon locating radar
When every second counts, the combat-proven Arthur D Weapon Locating Radar provides the timely targeting data needed to locate enemy firing units, deliver effective counterfire, and maintain operational freedom of manoeuvre.
High survivability
Arthur D is designed to survive in high-threat environments. High mobility and rapid emplacement enable the radar to reposition quickly, while its low infrared and electronic warfare signatures reduce detectability. Multi-spectral camouflage, active decoys, C-UAS radars and remote weapon stations further enhances survivability.
Securing capability for the future
Continuous feedback from tactical operations and software-defined radar technology enables Saab to rapidly deploy new capabilities to the front line, countering emerging threats and ensuring long-term operational resilience. With over 35 years of operational service, Arthur systems are used in 14 countries and deliver a proven 98.5% long-term mission availability, making it a trusted and reliable WLR solution.
Counter Fire Operation
The Arthur D fire-control mode is used to adjust the points of impact of own artillery fire. The function can be selected manually or automatically by an incoming data message from the Fire Control System. Arthur D tracks and calculates the mean value of own points of impact and automatically sends a message back containing precise correction data for fire adjustment. Arthur D can also be used as a sense & warn sensor, warning for incoming artillery fire to specific zones.
