Each of its four faces has an 18 metres diameter Super high frequency band radar giving 360 degree coverage. To the right of each circular search and track array, separated by a vertical structure for shielding, is a square antenna array for guiding the interceptor missile by data link. The system is run by an Elbrus-2 supercomputer. ()
