NATO Supply Class 5840 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment. Specifically, Class 5840 focuses on Radar Equipment, except for airborne applications.

Radar equipment plays a crucial role in various military and civilian applications. It is used for detecting and tracking objects, measuring distances, and gathering information about the surrounding environment. Radar systems utilize radio waves to transmit and receive signals, allowing for the detection of targets such as aircraft, ships, vehicles, and even weather patterns.

Within Class 5840, you can find a wide range of radar equipment designed for different purposes and environments. This includes ground-based radar systems used for surveillance, air traffic control, and weather monitoring. It also encompasses radar components, such as antennas, transmitters, receivers, and signal processing units.

It's important to note that Class 5840 specifically excludes airborne radar equipment. This means that radar systems designed for use on aircraft, helicopters, or other airborne platforms fall into different supply classes within NATO's classification system.

When procuring or discussing radar equipment within the NATO framework, it is essential to refer to the appropriate supply class and group to ensure accurate communication and understanding among member nations.

FSC 5840 Radar Equipment, Except Airborne - Hungary (HU)

Note-Excludes oscillator items which should be classified in FSC 5955 or 5963; fiber optic items which should be classified in Group 60; electronic modules as defined under Class 5963; and electrical cable, cord and wire assemblies, harnesses and sets, related to FSG 58 equipment (see FSC 5995). In Group 58, more than in any other group, it frequently happens that the same name is listed as an index entry in each of several classes. In addition, that name may also appear as an entry in groups other than 58. Each such entry refers to a distinctly different part or assembly, even though the different items have the same name. The listing of the same names in two or more classes indicates that, in one form, the part or assembly covered by the name is applicable to the equipment covered by one class, and in another form is applicable to the equipment covered by another class. For example, the item name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is applicable to two distinctly different assemblies, one of which has an application in cryptologic equipment, covered by Class 5810, and the other in radar equipment covered by Class 5840. Consequently the name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is an entry under each of the two classes. When an item identification bears a name which is indexed under more than one class of Group 58, or in Group 58 and in some other group, the item will be classified in the same class as its next higher assembly in the manner described in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Procedures Manual, DoD 4100.39-M. Also excluded from this group are data transmission and communications equipment such as terminals, sensors and other devices designed for use with a configuration of ADPE.
