The following phase of industrial trials saw the Mineral-U mounted on a wheeled chassis. The trials addressed the validation of the System’s compliance with specified performance requirements in terms of target acquisition range, operation in a wide range of frequencies, tactical mobility performance and more other criteria.
Following the satisfactory completion of industrial trials, the Mineral-U radar system was found to be compliant with Customer specifications, UkrOboronProm has said.
The Mineral-U is now ready to move into government trials process, which will see it tested as a support radar for Neptune ASCM batteries.
The radar is able to search and find targets up to 600 km away while in a passive mode and it can also operate in an active mode where a threat needs to be identified with more precision.
The Mineral-U radar system made its first public appearance during a military parade marking Ukraine’s 30th anniversary of independence on August 24, 2021
The Mineral-U technology was also on display at the open-air exhibition ”A Digital Future for the Army” held in Kyiv in October 2021
