The antenna uses phase-frequency electronic scanning technology , forming sharp 3D pencil beams covering large surveillance and track volume. It uses a rotating platform with a high scan rate (30 RPM) to provide 360 degree coverage. The radar is designed with high resistance to electronic countermeasures (ECM) and anti-radiation missiles (ARM).^[source]AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel · Main characteristics; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The system can be deployed using HMMWV fitted with a 10 kW 400 Hz 115/200 VAC on-board power generator. It can be operated autonomously and communicate with the fire direction center via wideband fiber-optic link. It can also distribute its data over a SINCGARS radio network.^[source]AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel · Main characteristics; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

Elta was awarded the contract to develop and manufacture the EL/M-2080 Green Pine radar in 1992. The Green Pine was developed from the Elta Music phased array radar, presented in November 1994, rolled out in 1995, and turned operational in November 1998. The Green Pine has since been used in dozens of tests of the Arrow system. In 2000 it was revealed that the Green Pine detected the launch of a Syrian Scud-D missile from its base outside Aleppo in northern Syria , and tracked its full trajectory until its impact point, some 700 km (430 mi) in the southern desert. In 2005, and in 2008, Green Pine detected and tracked similar drills of Syrian Scuds.^[source]EL/M-2080 Green Pine · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

On July 29, 2004, Israel and the United States carried out a joint test at the Naval Air Station Point Mugu (NAS Point Mugu ) Missile Test Center in California , in which the Arrow interceptor was launched against a real Scud-B missile. The test represented a realistic scenario that could not have been tested in Israel due to test-field safety restrictions. To enable the test a full battery was shipped to Point Mugu. The Green Pine radar and command-and-control systems were deployed at the base, while the Arrow launcher was installed 100 km (62 mi) offshore on an island that forms part of the test range. The test was a success, with the interceptor destroying the Scud that flew a 300 km (190 mi) trajectory at an altitude of 40 km (25 mi), west of San Nicolas Island . This was the seventh test of the complete system, the first interception of a real Scud.^[source]EL/M-2080 Green Pine · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

In contrast to the older AN/MPQ-53 Passive Electronically Scanned Array (PESA) radar set of the MIM-104 Patriot PAC-2, the Green Pine is an active electronically scanned array (AESA) solid state radar. Unlike the advanced AN/TPY-2 X band radar of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, Green Pine operates at L band - in the 500 MHz to 2,000 MHz range.^[source]EL/M-2080 Green Pine · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

Green Pine reportedly operates in search, detection, tracking, and missile guidance modes simultaneously, capable of detecting targets at ranges of up to about 500 km (310 mi), and is able to track more than 30 targets at speeds over 3,000 m/s (10,000 ft/s). It discriminates targets from natural clutter and countermeasures, illuminates the true target and guides the missile to within 4 m (13 ft) of the target.^[source]EL/M-2080 Green Pine · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The radar system includes a 9 m (30 ft) wide by 3 m (9.8 ft) high trailer -mounted rotatable antenna array , a power system, a cooling system and a radar control center. The power system has both no-break and transformer containers, with the former including a diesel generator , an inductive clutch control module and a diesel fuel tank. The transformer container houses transformers, a service generator, a power inverter and switching racks. The radar's cooling system is a heat exchanger that makes use of inherently redundant cascade cooling machines and incorporates an integral coolant tank and control panels . The radar is made up of 2,000–2,300 transmit–receive modules and weighs 60 tonnes (130,000 lb). The system is transportable rather than mobile, as it can be moved to other prepared sites, but cannot be set up just anywhere. According to its developer, Green Pine's deployment at a new operational site takes "less than 24 hours".^[source]EL/M-2080 Green Pine · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

An advanced version of the radar, called EL/M-2080S Super Green Pine, Green Pine Block-B, or Great Pine ( Hebrew : אורן אדיר , pronounced [oʁen adiʁ] ), is to take the place of the original Green Pine. It is composed of more powerful but smaller transmit–receive modules with better capabilities than those of the Green Pine, and is believed to produce double the power output, extending detection range to about 800–900 km (500–560 mi). In October 2010 the IDF decided to put another Arrow 2 battery into operational use. The new battery received the new radar - Green Pine Block-B.^[source]EL/M-2080 Green Pine · Specifications / Green Pine Block-B; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

India had acquired and deployed two Green Pine radars around July 2002 and another one in August 2005. The Swordfish Long Range Tracking Radar of the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation is an acknowledged derivative of the original Green Pine. The Indian government has sought to purchase the complete Arrow system since 1999, but in early 2002 the U.S. vetoed Israel's request to sell the Arrow 2 missiles to India, exercising its right as a major funding contributor. U.S. officials argued that the sale would violate the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).^[source]EL/M-2080 Green Pine · Users; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage
