Navy Radar arrives in Australia

The first of three state of the art horizon-search radars for the Navy's Hobart Class Air Warfare Destroyers has arrived in Australia.

The radar unit is located on the main mast of the destroyers and can track over 200 radar contacts simultaneously with a high level of accuracy.

It'll be used to search and track targets immediately above the sea surface, such as low-flying aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles.

The Royal Australian Navy is the first Navy outside of the United States to receive the radar which is mabe by Northrop Grumman.
