RADA's RPS-42 (now Leonardo DRS) is an S-band software-defined pulse-Doppler hemispheric radar — each panel 90° az × 80° el; four panels = full hemispheric coverage to ~30 km, 30 ft–30,000 ft. 1000+ units delivered; used by USS Boxer as its C-UAS sensor and across many SHORAD programs. MHR/ieMHR/exMHR variants extend the family.
