Farnborough, UK. 21 July 2022.  Leonardo’s Kronos Grand Mobile High Power (GM HP) radar has been
chosen by the Greek Air Force as the integrated air and missile defence system to be used at the
NAMFI (NATO Missile Fire Installation), the Alliance’s range based in the Isle of Crete. It will ensure
high air safety levels during exercises. The award has been announced at Farnborough International
Airshow.

The sensor, delivery of which is expected by 2024, will contribute to Coalition Armed Forces’ high-
quality training, as well as to testing and validation of systems.

Kronos Grand Mobile High Power is a multifunctional C-band radar designed for air and sea
surveillance and defence. It is the latest evolution of the Kronos family, able to deliver greater
performance through the integration of more powerful TRMs (Transmit-Receive Modules). The sensor’s
Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology draws on Leonardo’s fully-owned GaAs
(Gallium Arsenide) and GaN (Gallium Nitride) manufacturing capability, based on patented technology.
It is developed at the company’s in-house foundry, a high tech site specialising in the production of
monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC – Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits).
Designed for both land and naval use and available in fixed and mobile configuration, all Kronos radar
systems have multifunction and multi-mission capabilities optimized for multiple threats. In addition, the
family of sensors includes a new development in L-band, Kronos Power Shield, specifically designed
for long range ATBM (Anti Tactical Ballistic Missile) capabilities.

Several customers around the world, including in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and South
America, already use the advanced Kronos radar technology as the core sensor of their integrated air
and missile defence system, with more than 40 radars in service. Kronos Grand Mobile High Power
has already been chosen as the surveillance and engagement radar for the Italian version of the
SAMP/T New Generation surface-to-air missile system of the Eurosam Consortium (MBDA (66,6%)
and Thales Group (33,3%).
