N. Korea may use mobile radar before long-range missile launch: source

By Sam Kim

SEOUL, June 8 (Yonhap) -- South Korean officials believe North Korea may deploy a mobile radar shortly before test-firing a long-range ballistic missile it is apparently assembling on its west coast, a source said Monday.

Such a step would mean the North could avoid setting up radar at the base, avoiding foreign surveillance.

I was raised in the TAC mobile RADAR community and I can’t imagine they are that close. It is very difficult.

That would be down the road.
For now, their missile is too big and its maintenance is probably difficult.

North Korea has banned ships from the waters off a major portion of its east coast starting Tuesday.

Mine was the detection of such. It was a ground based mobile unit with a very powerful system. WE actually asked more than we received.

Something they did just prior to launches last time.

Probably for their short and intermediate range missiles. To the direction of Japan, I suspect.

I spent months on my own going through the reciever of the 43 to understand what’s up. Damn that stuff was good.

What is the significance of "mobile radar."

Better defense? As in the first thing we do is take out their air defense radar to insure our air superiority? Mobile radar can direct anti-aircraft defenses from any location? We won't know where they are until they are turned on?

F-4-G’s were still a beautiful sight when I saw them at Luke AFB

A mobile guidance radar perhaps? Was just reading about the US Titan missiles. They were radar-guided rather than inertial. Strange way to get it done and possibly can be messed with by someone with the right tech.

My Radar was built for Forward Air Control dogfights. Lately it has been used for detection of enemy combatants in the middle east and drug interdiction. It is set-up world-wide.
