I had a friend with ST auto, they had a long fight with Hägglunds about how close the ATTC was to the BV206 design. As expected Hägglunds lost becuase of the attachment arm differed in design (ours is a chinese copy).
Difference? not much except ATTC is localized, sometimes good, sometimes less than useful.
Another radar system (details of which i will self censor) was 'localized'.
"No need that feature lah" our local chaps said.
Now, everytime we shut down this particular system, some poor fool has to climb up nearly 15m to 'adjust by hand' the dish so that the radar does not leak signals when it is re-started.
Thats maybe why we have to buy the new radar as a system and not buy "IKEA style" and self assemble.
