TAFLIR

In 1985, five mobile radar systems were purchased for 254 million Swiss francs in order to address this problem.

However, the system's viability in a military operation was a controversial matter that was brought to attention and addressed in the initial attack waves of the Iraq War.

TAFLIR is a version of the AN/TPS-70 radar produced by Westinghouse (now Northrop Grumman), modified for Swiss requirements.

These AN/MPQ-64 radars are a variant of the Northrop Grumman AN/TPS-75 and can be deployed in areas of difficult terrain to improve the Recognized Air Picture.

TAFLIR is deployed to support security during annual World Economic Forum meetings in Davos, Switzerland.
