The '''EL/M-2248 MF-STAR''' is a multifunction [[active electronically scanned array]] [[naval radar]] system developed by [[Israeli Aircraft Industries|IAI]] [[Elta]] for maritime installation on [[warships]]. It is capable of tracking both air and surface targets and providing fire control guidance. MF-STAR is an acronym of Multi-Function Surveillance, Track And Guidance Radar.<ref>{{cite web|title=EL/M-2248 MF-STAR|url=http://www.iai.co.il/2013/36565-36668-en/IAI.aspx|publisher=IAI|accessdate=12 July 2014}}</ref>

== Design and description ==
The EL/M-2248 MF-STAR is a multifunction solid state [[Active electronically scanned array]] radar developed for a new generation of naval platforms. The radar system is made up of 4 active arrays operating in the [[S-band]], each of the 4 arrays is positioned in one direction. The radar employs multi-beam and pulse Doppler techniques as-well-as robust [[Electronic counter-countermeasures]] techniques to extract [[Stealth technology|low radar cross-section]] targets from complex clutter and [[Radar jamming and deception|jamming]] environments. AESA radars provide a [[Low probability of intercept radar|low probability of intercept]] of emitted signals and help the ships remain stealthy. Weighing only seven tons the system can be installed on smaller vessels of [[Corvette]] size and above.<ref>{{cite web|title=EL/M-2248 MF-STAR Naval Multi-Mission Radar|url=http://defense-update.com/directory/mf-star.htm|publisher=Defense Update|accessdate=12 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828102426/http://www.defense-update.com/directory/mf-star.htm|archive-date=28 August 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The MF-STAR is capable of tracking both air and surface targets and can track hundreds of targets simultaneously with a very fast refresh rate. It is capable of providing guidance illumination and mid course updates to both active and semi active [[Surface-to-air missiles]] and [[Anti-ship missiles]], with multiple simultaneous engagement capability. It is also capable of automatic splash detection and correction for [[naval gunnery]] support.

While targets are tracked at long range threats are automatically recognized at medium range and Automatic track initiation takes place. Sea skimming attacking missile are tracked at >25 km while High flying fighter aircraft are automatically tracked at >250 km.<ref name=iaipdf>{{cite web|title=EL/M-2248 MF-STAR PDF|url=http://www.iai.co.il/sip_storage/files/3/27543.pdf|publisher=IAI|accessdate=12 July 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140817190345/http://www.iai.co.il/sip_storage/FILES/3/27543.pdf|archivedate=17 August 2014}}</ref>
