The world's first radar system capable of providing simultaneous 360° ground surveillance has been developed in Europe. The active phase array tactical radar ground surveillance system (TRGS) is the first device of its kind to be able to send out multiple radar beams of different types for different scanning modes at the same time, according to its developer EADS. The system achieves this by using 10,000 miniaturised radars, known as transmit-and-receive modules. By combining numbers of these modules in different configurations, a variety of radar beams can be transmitted.
