“ | Lurking eyes at your disposal! - Radar Van |
” |
The radar van was a GLA-owned van with a mobile radar uplink, used during the GLA Conflict.
Background[]
Purchased from an arms dealer, the radar van provided a mobile radar uplink. It could be upgraded with the radar scan technology, allowing it to periodically reveal areas of the battlefield otherwise invisible, and also reveal stealth units in proximity.
While this unit was not a combatant unit, it could be used in base patrols. This mobile radar solution also meant that the commander would not lose radar even if his command center was sold, destroyed, affected by an EMP blast, or out of power if he captures enemy buildings. This also meant that if the radar van was hit by an EMP blast or garrisons in a Tunnel Network, its owner's radar would go offline unless he had other radar vans operational.

Trivia[]
- There was a cut ability associated with the radar van, called the "radar jammer". It allowed the radar van to cast a shroud in the surrounding area, similar to the mobile gap generator from the original Red Alert.
