The Zoorpark-1 complex is used to search for artillery systems. The radar station can detect enemy positions and calculate the trajectory of an artillery shell. An MT-LB tracked armoured personnel carrier is used as the chassis.
The radar can detect the positions of mortars, howitzers and rocket artillery. The maximum detection ranges are 17 km, 12 km and 45 km respectively.
