Abstract: In this paper we present modernization of radar P12, which is used in ARJ for PVD of Serbian Armed Forces. Modernization includes digitalization of some radar blocks: radar receiver VHF DP/P-12, radar indicator (DiRI) and radar data extractor (RDE), using the principles of software radio. Besides these, the functions of the module for tracking moving targets and control of antenna position are improved. The new functions, which were not available in the original radar version, are realized: remote control and supervision of radar functions and radar connecting in integral telecommunication system of Serbian Armed Forces. In this way, technical and tactical characteristics of P12 radar are improved and extended its application in our armament.

Keywords: radar modernization, digitalization, software radio, integral telecommunication system.
