REFERENCE. ERA, the company that makes VERA, claims that these systems "see without being seen." The system is designed for detection, localization, tracking and identification of air, ground and sea targets, as well as exclusive analysis of pulsed and continuous signals. The system emits zero electromagnetic energy, which makes it "invisible". The target detection range is 400 km with an accuracy of up to 20 m, the number of simultaneous escort targets is up to 200, the information update time is from 1 to 5 seconds. The radar can work in any weather conditions.
