Mirador. Um, wait. It uses a LRF (Laser Range Finder). But passive
IR/visible light detection and tracking. Only active when engaging.

There's a naval and a ground based version, ground-based in use with
Venezuelan air force, for one. Naval used in quite some navies.

Thanks! I knew about the naval version used on the Tromp, but not that there was a land-based version as well.
