It is a multi mode pulse-Doppler Radar and the first NATO radar with three channels, instead of two, the third channel is used for self-protection roles. It was developed as the successor to the Blue Vixen radar, which was developed for the Sea Harrier FA.Mk.2. It operates in I/J Band (8 to 12 GHz). The radar was primarily designed for air to air roles but it also has air to surface features. It is able to track a 1 m² target at a range of 185 km and a normal passenger plane at a range of 370 km.

- The Euroradar CAPTOR (formerly ECR-90) is a next generation mechanical multi-mode pulse doppler radar designed for the Eurofighter Typhoon. The radar is produced by the Euroradar consortium and is a development of the BAE Systems Blue Vixen radar which had been developed for the BAE Sea Harrier FA2. Euroradar is led by the lead stakeholder SELEX Galileo in Edinburgh (formerly BAE Systems Avionics) and the consortium includes EADS and Indra. The ECR-90 was renamed CAPTOR when the project passed the production contract milestone.
