FAAR was developed by the US Army in the 1960s to support their field anti-aircraft weapons, the MIM-72 Chaparral and M163 Vulcan Air Defense System, deployed through the 1970s and 80’s, and retired from active service in 1991. FAAR units have been used for drug trafficking surveillance in Palm Beach, and since September 1991, offered for sale to foreign users.
