The EISCAT Svalbard Radar - the ESR - is a high power UHF radar to be operated near Longyearbyen, which is the main community on the island of Spitsbergen belonging to the archipelago of Svalbard.

In-house design is tried to be kept at minimum, although the expertise of inhouse staff, acquired over many years of the EISCAT operation, is indispensable in defining, supervising and developing certain system partitions of the hardware and software.
