Source-derived summary

The Ground Master 200 Multi-Mission (GM200 MM) is a family of medium-range ground-based radars developed and manufactured by Thales.

Benefiting from the technology of the land-based Ground Master 200 and naval NS100/200 radar systems, the GM200 MM family consists of the GM200 MM/A, designed and manufactured in France, on the one hand; and the GM200 MM/C on the other, developed by the company's Dutch subsidiary, Thales Nederland, for, and in consultation with, the Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA). The two radars feature 4D Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology, a ‘dual-axis multi-beam’ technology providing flexibility in both elevation and bearing.

The first delivery of the GM200 MM/C to the RNLA took place on 14 February 2024.

Design

There are two radars within the GM200 MM family:

The GM200 MM/A (All-in-one) fits in a 20 ft ISO container and weighs 10 tons. It includes a power generator unit, an 8-meter-high-antenna, and room for 2 workstations with the voice and data radio communications. The GM200 MM/A can be set up in 15 minutes and be operated remotely or locally. The primary missions of the GM200 MM/A are Air Surveillance and GBAD (Ground Based Air Defence) up to MRAD (Medium Range Air Defence).

The GM200 MM/C (Compact) is suited for Counter Battery and Weapon Locating operations and supports Very Short Ranged Air Defence (V/SHORAD) up to Medium range air defense (MRAD) missions. The radar is deployable in less than 2 minutes.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Ground Master 200 Multi Mission” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Ground, Master and Multi provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q110975414. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
