The CASTA-2E2, also known as 39N6E, is a solid state, UHF-band, mobile radar intended
to acquire airborne targets in intense clutter and jamming environment and to identify them as friend or foe (IFF) as well. It is suggested that the 39N6E radar is able to acquire stealth airborne targets. It can be integrated into air, coastal, border defense systems and air traffic control systems.The
CASTA-2E2 radar system comprises a hardware truck, antenna truck, and a
mobile power station. The whole system can be airlifted by C-130/An-12
cargo aircraft.

The Kasta 2E1 and 2E2 are the
latest incarnations of the well established Flat Face and Squat Eye
family of semimobile UHF band tactical acquisition radars. The initial
P-15 Flat Face A introduced the now characteristic double stacked array
of elliptical paraboloid section antennas. This radar was widely
exported by the Soviets to Warsaw Pact nations and Soviet Third World
allies and clients. The radar has been used to support interceptors, as
well as SA-3, SA-4, SA-6 and SA-8 missile batteries as an acquisition
radar. The P-15M Squat Eye is a derivative of the baseline design with
a single antenna on a tethered latticework mast. It was employed to
improve low altitude coverage, but also to permit use of the radar in
heavily forested terrain where the height of the foliage canopy
exceeded the height of the antenna phase centre in the P-15.
The P-19 Flat Face B is the improved follow-on to the P-15 with a range
of improvements. Since the 1990s a number of manufacturers are now
offering comprehensive digital upgrades for the P-15 and P-19 inventory.
Kasta 2E1 and 2E2 are heavily redesigned derivatives using a new KAMAZ
6 x 6 chassis and mostly digital hardware. The redesign of the Squat
Eye antenna is the most visually prominent change with the increased
aperture improving range performance.
Due to their low power-aperture ratings this family of radars is
generally not regarded to be particularly effective against LO and VLO
aircraft.
