COBRA radar, the partner of the CAESAR gun

A silent marketing tool... but incredibly effective

A project born from a blank slate

For this exceptional model, our teams have rethought every detail in order to accurately reproduce the unique look of this vehicle.

Two versions to satisfy all expectations
To meet all requirements, this model will be available in a road version (radar folded) and a work version (radar deployed), thus offering a spectacular and original representation of this weapon system. With its imposing dimensions and unmatched level of detail, this model promises to become a must-have for military model enthusiasts.
A tribute to French engineering
With this model, we wish to highlight the skills of our industrialists and pay tribute to the expertise of French and European defense actors while serving as a technical support for professionals in the field.
This project is an opportunity to strengthen the ties between model enthusiasts and industry experts around an object combining precision, innovation, and technical heritage.

Counter-battery radar : COBRA

This trajectory radar allows for real-time location of enemy batteries up to a distance of 100 km when connected to the ATLAS system.
This type of radar can detect the point of origin of shots as well as their arrivals, up to 40 batteries simultaneously.
To avoid detection of the radars themselves, they are associated with another system called SL2A (artillery location system by acoustic means)
The radar, integrated into a technical shelter mounted on a fully autonomous Renault Trucks TRM 10000 truck, consists of:
- A detection system including a planar erectile antenna with active modules
- An operations cabin
- A generator providing the system with its energy
- An inertial navigator with a gyrolaser
The technical shelter is protected against battlefield shrapnel.
COBRA (COunter Battery RAdar) is a counter-battery radar system developed jointly by Thales, Airbus Defence and Space, and Lockheed Martin for the French, British, and German armed forces.
In its export version outside of NATO, it has been significantly improved in performance and design while retaining its basic characteristics. It is marketed by Euro-Art International EWIV, a joint venture between HENSOLDT and THALES.
Given the aging of the Renault TRM 10000, the PPLOG becomes the new carrier for the COBRA radar which is set to complete its renovation program this year.
This radar is deployed in Lebanon and a unit has been sent to Ukraine.

If you already have our CAESAR cannon model, here is what to accompany it with in order to detect enemy batteries.
To be continued...
Stay tuned to discover the next steps of this exciting project, and prepare to welcome a unique piece in your collection, combining innovation and artisan craftsmanship.
