Location of weapon systems, registration and adjustment of friendly firings, creation of battlefield data, communication with battle forces - COBRA is a singularly effective force on the battlefield, performing rapidly and accurately.
COBRA (COunter Battery RAdar) is a collaborative long-range battlefield radar programme between Germany, France and the United Kingdom. COBRA radar systems are in service with effect from 2005. Common support in the In-Service phase has been implemented.

COBRA is considered to be the world's most advanced land based weapon locating system, comprising a high performance radar, advanced processing and an integrated, flexible command, control and communication system. The design includes state-of-the-art digital processing and an advanced active, solid-state phased array antenna comprising several thousand transmit/receive modules.

The COBRA mission is to locate mortars, rocket launchers and artillery batteries and to provide information for countering their effectiveness. With a detection range of 40 km and a coverage of 1,600 km2 COBRA is capable of locating and classifying up to 40 batteries in two minutes. It will also be able to monitor breaches of cease-fire when deployed in a peace-keeping role.
