In the fighting in Ukraine, many ranpur and rantis were destroyed by air strikes. In some of the video footage, the moving ranpur convoy can be easily ambushed by combat drones (UCAV) and low-flying helicopters. As if the ranpur/rantis convoy is a very easy target to destroy through rocket attacks, missiles or high-precision bombs.
And one of the things that was missed from the above case was the lack of adequate air umbrellas to protect the ranpur/rantis convoy. Instead the convoy must struggle to face fate if one day it is ambushed by the opponent.

Facing the above case, when drones become a scary reconnaissance vehicle, encourage the adoption of lightweight surveillance radar technology that is placed on the ranpur/rantis.
For example, the Supacat Jackal rantis, which the UK plans to send to Ukraine, can be fitted with the Giraffe 1x radar. Not just installed, Giraffe 1x has also been tested for use on the rantis.
The Giraffe 1X (G1X) produced by Saab, is a short range 3D radar type for Ground Based Air Defense missions. From the specifications, the G1X has the ability to detect 100 targets at once from a distance of 75 km. To be exact, the G1X running in the X band frequency can scan 100 targets at once in the air, and 200 targets at once on the surface.
From a technological aspect, the Giraffe 1X is a 3D all-weather radar with AESA digital beam forming antenna technology. Besides of course being able to move an area of 360 degrees, the vertical angle of the radar has an elevation above 70 degrees. The rotational speed of the radar on the shaft reaches 60 rpm, making it ideal for detecting the direction of the target from all directions.
In terms of design, the G1X is basically designed to be adopted on light tactical vehicles with a vehicle weight of less than 4 tons. With the adoption of a radar similar to the Giraffe 1X, the level of situational awareness of the ranpur/rantis crew can be maintained, especially the ability to detect the presence of drones that are lurking.
With early detection of threats in the air, anticipation can be carried out more quickly by the crew of ranpur/rantis.
