The radar system named “Fath (Conquer) 14” covers areas 600km in range and is capable of tracking small flying objects in high altitudes.

High agility and rapid contact with the command and control network are among other features of the semiconductor radar which can identify enemies' strategic targets in a 600km radius According to military officials, Fath 14 is the first of a kind in the region.

Iran announced in September that the country's experts were preparing to launch a new radar system, “Qaem Al-e Mohammad”, in the near future.

The new radar system will cover a range of 1,000km which can increase the Iranian Armed Forces' capability to monitor different parts of the country and the regional moves.

On September 1, Iran unveiled two new radar systems named Nazir and Bina with the capability of detecting radar-evading targets and fighting against electronic warfare.

The two radar systems were unveiled in a ceremony attended by Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli through a video conference. Both radars have been mounted in the mountainous and plain regions in Southeastern Iran.

Nazir is a long-range and high-precision radar system which is highly capable of detecting targets in low radar cross section and is resistant to radar evading and anti-radar missiles. The radar can detect all radar-evading targets and is capable of fighting electronic warfare.
