El 1L111 Fara-1 es un radar ruso portátil de vigilancia del campo de batalla y guiado de armas, desarrollado por NPO Strela para detectar personal y vehículos en movimiento y proporcionar indicación de blancos a armas como lanzagranadas automáticos o ametralladoras. Las variantes posteriores de exportación y modernizadas Fara-PV y Fara-VR mantienen la misma función de reconocimiento terrestre de corto alcance, pero añaden presentación panorámica, seguimiento de blancos y características de equipo portátil más ligero; se han documentado ejemplares rusos en Ucrania como sensores de campo de batalla capturados o destruidos.

Radar Family Notes

Los registros de la familia Fara describen pequeños radares de campo de batalla construidos en torno a la detección de blancos móviles de corto alcance, no a la cobertura de búsqueda aérea. El perfil original del Fara-1 enfatiza la indicación de blancos para armas de las clases AGS-17, Pecheneg y Kord, mientras que las páginas posteriores de Rosoboronexport para el Fara-PV y el Fara-VR enfatizan la vigilancia con presentación panorámica, las trazas de blancos y el reconocimiento terrestre en todo tiempo.

Clase de alcance del Fara-1

GunRF enumera alcances de detección no inferiores a 2 km para una persona y 4 km para un tanque.

Clase de alcance del Fara-PV

Rosoboronexport enumera alcances de detección de blancos móviles de 3 km para un hombre y 6 km para un automóvil.

Clase de alcance del Fara-VR

Rosoboronexport describes the export system as a modular radar for battalion-to-brigade fire support: detecting 81-120 mm mortar positions, tracking shell bursts for artillery correction, and observing moving ground targets out to 20 km. Specialist radar references describe a 135 kg J-band set, while open-source conflict reporting documents Russian-linked use in Syria and Ukraine plus Armenian/Artsakh wartime fielding problems in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Developed as a regimental low-altitude air-defense vehicle for motor-rifle and tank units, it combined an amphibious armored chassis with optical/infrared missile engagement at short ranges. Open sources document it in several conflict inventories, including Polisario systems supplied by Libya, Iraqi Gulf War air defenses, Chechen inherited stocks, and Houthi-aligned holdings in Yemen; those rows indicate fielding or possession, not necessarily a sourced launch or shootdown.

Open reporting describes it as a phased-array artillery reconnaissance system on a BAZ-6910-025 8x8 chassis, built to track incoming shells or rockets and calculate artillery firing positions for counter-battery fire. Russian state-linked reporting announced its use with Russian artillery units in Ukraine in January 2024, while Ukrainian military, government-linked, and independent news coverage later documented the destruction of multiple Russian Yastreb-AV systems.

Boeing records first firing in April 1984 and first delivery on 1988-11-01, with more than 1,100 systems delivered by 2002. The system appears in the catalog through Gulf War service, Iraq War up-gun conversions, Ukrainian mobile air-defense use against Shahed drones, and U.S. coalition force-protection activity at Al-Tanf in Syria.
