The 96L6E all-altitude radar is designed for detecting, determining the state nationality, identification of classes, locking-on and tracking the routes of air targets, outputting target designa­tion and three-coordinate information about all detected air targets to the users over the radio channel and/or fiber-optics com­munication link. The procedure of radar data transmitting to the user is specified by coordinated interface protocol, and under hardware control by the method of replacement of reprogrammed interface cards. The radar can be used in composition of the systems S-300 PMU, S-300 PMU-l.TAVORIT", including combat operations conducted by one battalion and combining the functions of the low-altitude radar, surveillance radar and command post. as well as in radio-engineering and air-defence subunits as a combat-mode radar.
