The article discusses modern ground-based air defense (GBAD) systems. The abundance of sidelobes in the use of parabolic reflector antennas and simple Yagi arrays causes vulnerability to detection, electronic attack (EA) and antiradiation missiles (ARMs). The Passive Electronically Scanned Array (PESA) technology materialized in two distinct families of surface-to- air missile (SAM) systems with the home air defense troops using the S-300P and the S-300F by naval forces.
