The Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) is an advanced military radar system used primarily by the United States. It is mounted on aircraft and designed to detect, locate, and track ground targets such as vehicles, troops, and equipment over large areas, even through bad weather or foliage. JSTARS provides real-time battlefield intelligence to commanders, helping them make informed decisions, direct attacks, and coordinate movements. It combines sophisticated radar technology with communication systems to improve situational awareness and enhance military effectiveness across diverse combat scenarios.
