High-Tech Radar Aids Nato Troops
If Sarajevo is shelled again, American soldiers will know instantly where the shells came from - and NATO-led forces can respond if needed.
U.S. troops brought state-of-the-art radar that can locate weapons right after they fire and determine where the shells are going to land.
The U.S. military headquarters in Tuzla loaned two batteries of these M-36 Fire Finder radars to Sarajevo. Over the next week, a specially trained unit from the Kansas National Guard will be replacing those batteries with their own M-36 radars, which will remain in Sarajevo as long as there are U.S. forces in Bosnia.
