Radar van (Generals 1)

The Radar Van was the GLA's solution to the need for battlefield radar. Purchased from an Arms Dealer, the Radar Van provided a mobile source of radar for any GLA commander. The Radar Van could be upgraded with the Radar Scan technology, allowing it to periodically reveal areas of the battlefield otherwise not visible, and also reveal stealth units. The Radar Van itself could also detect nearby stealthed units.

Upgrades

 * Radar Scan - Developed at the Black Market, this allowed Radar Vans to temporarily reveal a small area of the battlefield, and/or reveal stealth units in that area.
 * Junk Repair

Tactics/Counters
Although relying on the Radar Van meant that GLA generals did not have access to a radar as early on in a conflict as Chinese and American generals, it also meant that they could transport their source of radar around the battlefield, as opposed to having it fixed in a Command Center. Multiple moving Radar Vans could make sure that a GLA commander's radar always remained online. Generals were also able to initiate a Radar Scan from each Radar Van that they had, and as Radar Vans could detect stealthed units they were potentially a useful supplement to base defences.

Of course, the Radar Van was also completely unarmed and much easier to destroy than a Command Center. Therefore, it was most important that they were kept away from any enemy units. Their only defence was the ability to run down infantry.
