The LVF-3 is a two-dimensional long-range air search and air traffic control radar manufactured by Wellemacht. It is the primary surveillance radar used by the Common Airspace Control System, the national air traffic control system of the Grand Duchy of Radictistan. LVF-3 operates in the L-Band utilizing pulse compression and digital MTI (Moving Target Indication). A monopulse secondary surveillance radar (SSR) antenna is integrated with the main paraboloid reflector. Technology from the LVF-3 has been used to upgrade 5N69 radars operated by the Royal Radictistan Air Force.
