The Netherlands has announced the installation of a new Ground Master 400a radar in Nieuw-Milligen, Gelderland, to strengthen its air defense. The radar, manufactured by Thales, will provide enhanced capabilities for detecting air targets over the Netherlands and the North Sea. The radar will serve as a temporary solution until it is replaced by the SMART-L long-range radar in the future. Developed by Thales in 2007, the GM-400 radar offers a range of air target detection up to 470 km in the standard version and up to 515 km in the Alpha version. It utilizes an active phased array S-band antenna and a single rotating array capable of 10 rotations per minute. Additionally, research is being conducted to develop an artificial intelligence system that will automatically classify targets and identify potential threats.

The announcement regarding the installation of the new radar was made by the Dutch Ministry of Defence. The information provided in the article does not reference any other specific sources.
