• Fully autonomous and ready for immediate integration in an air defence system
• Capable of destroying air, ground, and sea-surface targets
• Very short reaction time
• Highly efficient in any field conditions
• Featuring fully automated command and fire control
• Capable of stealthy operation, with targets acquired from external sources and passive sensors used for target intercept and tracking
• Highly resistant to ECM
• Highly mobile and survivable in the battlefield
• Hovering helicopter detection

The armoured turret incorporates multiple state-of-the-art sensors that enable to acquire and engage air targets flying at speeds of up to 500 m/s. The two 35 mm guns provide effective fire range up to 5000 m.
The two 35 mm guns provide effective fire range up to 5000 m.

The variety of fire control sensors (tracking radar, FLIR camera, TV camera, laser range-finder) makes the LOARA-G effective in any weather conditions, day and night.

The fully automated command and fire control functions can make use of either data acquired with the on-board sensors or received wireless from a higher command level or neighbouring units. The use of target data from external sources gives the LOARA-G the capability of engaging targets with only opto-electronic sensors, without radiating microwave energy by the search radar and thus disclosing its present position. Such stealthy operation is most advantageous in terms of combat efficiency and survivability. The use of a tracking radar featuring low probability of intercept (LPI) is another important factor in stealthy operation. Moreover, target tracking with entirely passive sensors is possible - with the tracking radar not radiating. During stealthy operation, all the equipment is battery operated, so that the Diesel generator, as a source of thermal radiation, can be switched off.
The LOARA-G is based on a modernised PT-91 tank chassis, which ensures high automotive performances in any terrain conditions. A modern land navigation system, using laser gyros and integrated with a GPS receiver, is built into the vehicle, so the current vehicle's position is exactly known all the time, which is a fundamental capacity when joint operations with other units in the command & control process are concerned.
