The Ground Master 200 (GM200) is a medium range AESA 3D radar manufactured by Thales Group.

The GM200 can operate both as an independent air surveillance radar or as the sensor module of an air defence system. The GM200 also features a surface channel and a Rocket/Artillery/Mortar sense and warn capability.^[1]^[2]

The system fits in a 20 ft ISO shelter and weighs less than ten tons.^[3] It includes power generator unit, mast, and room for 2 workstations with a set of radio voice and data communications. The GM200 is transportable by road, rail, tactical aircraft (such as the C-130) or helicopter and can be set up in 15 minutes.^{[citation needed]}

This radar is part of the Ground Master family alongside its GM200 MM/A and MM/C variants as well as the short-range GM60 and long-range GM400 and their respective variants. The GM200's unit cost is stated to be €30 million (FY2023).^[4]^[5]^[6]
