FIRST INDIGENOUS ROMANIAN RADAR IN DEVELOPMENT
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA SWN
1. SIGNIFICANCE: THE FIRST INDIGENOUSLY DESIGNED ROMANIAN RADAR
WAS IDENTIFIED AT BUCURESTI MILITARY ELECTRONICS PRODUCTION AND
REPAIR PLANT IAEM ON IMAGERY OF Q (SWN)
2. REMARKS: THE PROBABLE EARLY WARNING/TARGET AQUISITION RADAR WAS
ON A CIRCULAR HARDSTAND WITHIN THE PLANT. THE RADAR APPEARS TO
CONSIST OF A FREESTANDING MAST AND TWO VEHICLES. THE
MESH PARABOLIC SCREEN HAS A CENTER FEED POLE AND
IS ATOP A GROUND-MOUNTED MAST. THE MAST STANDS NEXT TO THE REAR
CORNER OF A ROMANIAN DAC-665T VAN TRUCK, WHICH SERVES AS THE
OPERATIONS VAN. THIS VEHICLE IS APPROXIMATELY
1-METER LONGER THAN THE STANDARD DAC-665T CARGO TRUCK. A
PROBABLE CATWALK OR CABLE STORAGE SECTION IS ON THE FORWARD HALF
OF THE VAN ROOF. A SECOND DAC-665T CARGO TRUCK IS CANVAS-DRAPED
AND IS POSITIONED NOSE-TO-TAIL TO THE PROBABLE OPERATIONS VAN,
WITH THE MAST BETWEEN THE TWO VEHICLES. THE SECOND VEHICLE
PROBABLY TRANSPORTS THE ANTENNA AND MAY CARRY GENERATORS IN THE
BED OF THE TRUCK. (SWN)
THE PLANT HAS SERVED AS AN OVERHAUL/REPAIR FACILITY FOR
SOVIET-PRODUCED RADARS, RADAR JAMMERS, AND COMMAND
POST-ASSOCIATED VEHICLES SINCE THE 1960'S. BAR LOCK, FLAT FACE,
SPOON REST, AND SQUAT EYE EARLY WARNING RADARS; AND THIN SKIN
AND ODD PAIR HEIGHT-FINDING RADARS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED AT THE
FACILITY IN THE PAST. THE PLANT FACILITIES APPEAR INADEQUATE
FOR RADAR PRODUCTION. A REVIEW OF IMAGERY REVEALED NO EVIDENCE
OF ANY ROMANIAN DAC-665T VEHICLES AT THE PLANT PRIOR TO =
(SWN)
ANALYST'S COMMENTS: THE PRESENCE OF A SINGLE NEW RADAR SET AT
THE PLANT COULD INDICATE THAT IT IS INVOLVED IN PROTOTYPE

DEVELOPMENT OF THE RADAR. PROTOTYPE PRODUCTION OF ROMANIAN
MILITARY EQUIPMENT AT REPAIR FACILITIES APPEARS TO BE AN
ESTABLISHED PATTERN. PROTOTYPES OF THE ROMANIAN-BUILT TANK, THE
TR-77, WERE DEVELOPED AT MIZIL ARMORED VEHICLE REPAIR AND
DEVELOPMENT PLANT PROBABLE PROTOTYPES OF A NEW
MECHANIZED INFANTRY FIGHTING VEHICLE (MICV), SEEN IN THE AUGUST
1984 PARADE, AND SIMILAR TO THE YUGOSLAV M-80 MICV, HAVE ALSO
BEEN SEEN AT MIZIL. (SWN)
