Es similar a otro desplegado en Japón, y lo operará directamente personal norteamericano:
The Raytheon-built FBX-T system is the same phased-array radar that was deployed to northern Japan with the U.S. Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) in 2006. The high-powered, high-frequency, transportable X-band radar is designed to detect and track ballistic missiles soon after launch.
Atención a su capacidad de detección:
The Raytheon system can detect a flying object the size of a baseball at a distance of 4,700 km, fix on its speed and trajectory and convey the data to the Israeli Arrow anti-missile battery. This equals detecting an Iranian Shehab-3 ballistic missile 5.5 minutes after its launch, which means that it is picked up halfway on its 11-minute flight from Iran to bomb targets in Israel, adding precious minutes to Israel’s response time for incoming missile attacks.
Detecta objetos del tamaño de una pelota de tenis a una distancia de 4.7000 kilómetros. Un misil lanzado desde Irán tarda unos 11 minutos en llegar a Israel; este sistema lo detectará a los 5 minutos. El trasporte, por barco, es espectacular.
