Russia is upgrading the experimental radar Neman-P located in Kazakhstan and work is set to be completed by 2016, the Defense Ministry's strategic missile force spokesman Major Dmitry Andreyev told Itar-Tass news agency.
"The Neman radar was used to monitor the air space situation and confirm flight parameters of target missiles in testing the missile defense system A-135," Andreyev said. During the period of 1981-1991, the radar was used on more than 300 occasions for launches of ballistic missiles during tests of warheads and missile defense penetration complexes.
The spokesman said the upgrade program would extend the radar's life cycle and enhance its reliability, information capabilities and range.
