The EL/M-2084 Multi-Mission Radar is IAI/ELTA's mobile AESA radar family for air surveillance, counter-rocket/artillery/mortar warning, weapon locating, and air-defense fire-control support. Public IAI reporting identifies MMR as a sensor tied to Iron Dome, David's Sling, Barak MX, and Spyder architectures, while official Canadian, Czech, and Slovak sources show the radar family also serving NATO air-surveillance and ground-force sensor roles. IAI directly names Multi-Mission Radar systems in Israel's Operation Rising Lion defense against Iranian rockets, missiles, UAVs, and other airborne threats.
During Operation Rising Lion, Israel used IAI/ELTA Multi-Mission Radar systems to detect, identify, classify, and track incoming rockets, missiles, UAVs, and other airborne threats, with IAI reporting that MMR data helped direct interceptors against those threats.
MMR is a radar and sensor node for air-defense batteries, so its battlefield value comes from detection, tracking, classification, and fire-control support rather than from launching an interceptor itself.
IAI describes the radar family as producing a fast-updating air situation picture for targets from UAVs to tactical ballistic missiles.

IAI uses MMR as a family label around the EL/M-2084 radar, with compact, multi-sensor, and operator-designation variants appearing in public materials.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
| EL/M-2084 MMR | Baseline mobile multi-mission radar | IAI identifies MMR ELM-2084 as a mobile AESA radar for air-defense, surveillance, C-RAM, and fire-control missions. Sources: IAI MMR ELM-2084 Product Page |
| EL/M-2084 MS-MMR | Multi-sensor MMR configuration | IAI describes the MS-MMR as an ELM-2084-based version that fuses additional active and passive sensors, including higher-band radar, IFF, SIGINT, EO/IR, and launch-detection sensors. |
| ELM-2311 C-MMR | Compact MMR family member | IAI's current MMR family page names ELM-2311 C-MMR alongside ELM-2084 MMR as part of the broader family. Sources: IAI MMR ELM-2084 Product Page |
| MADR | Czech service designation | The Czech Ministry of Defence identifies MADR as the Czech abbreviation for the EL/M-2084 MMR mobile 3D air-defense radar; this record treats it as an alias/designation rather than a separate weapon page. Sources: Czech MOD First MADR Delivery |
| AN/MPQ-504 | Canadian MRR designation | Canadian Army reporting identifies Canada's Medium Range Radar as the EL/M-2084 MMR, and a Department of National Defence milestone page identifies the accepted Canadian radars as AN/MPQ-504 Medium-Range Radar systems.

IAI describes MMR as a radar element that feeds several networked air-defense systems rather than a standalone interceptor or launcher.

 | Short-range air-defense system | IAI identifies MMR as a central element in Iron Dome's air-defense architecture and says the radar detects, classifies, and supports interceptor targeting. Sources: IAI 250th Multi-Mission Radar Delivery, IAI MMR ELM-2084 Product Page |
 | Medium-range air and missile defense system | IAI identifies the EL/M-2084 MMR family as combat-proven in David's Sling and as a sensor used in Israeli layered air defense. Sources: IAI MMR ELM-2084 Product Page, IAI 250th Multi-Mission Radar Delivery |
 | Integrated air and missile defense system | IAI identifies MMR as part of the Barak/Barak MX air-defense sensor set, and the 2025 Barak MX record separately documents Operation Rising Lion use of that system. Sources: IAI 250th Multi-Mission Radar Delivery, IAI MS-MMR Product Page |
Public acquisition records show the same radar family adapted for national air-surveillance, air-defense, and artillery sensor requirements rather than a single fixed launcher layout.
