Slovakia's three air defense E/F-band surveillance radar systems are being upgraded to new configuration known as ST-68MSK (M=Modernized, SK=Slovakia), as part of a program to improve connectivity with the NATO Integrated Air Defense System (NATINADS). The upgraded radars produce nearly double the range of the originals, with much higher sensitivity, accuracy, and greater electronic countermeasures capability.
