MODAFL on Sunday publicized claims of launching production lines for three domestically-manufactured radar systems for IRIADF : Hafez, Arash-2 and Kayhan. Iran's Deputy Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami made the announcement at a ceremony held at Shiraz.

Hafez is claimed as "a medium range 'phased array, active and 3-dimensional radar,' which is paired with the home-made Mersad air defense system" (updated MIM-23B I-HAWK).

Further claims include ability to detect and track multiple targets from a distance of 250 km.

Mobile radar platform for Hafez system appears to be adapted Iveco 450 Trakker type vehicle.
