The comparison gives the German ship the weaker radar arrangement. German naval sets are characterized as one-off, bespoke models and contrasted with a factory-production approach. The problem is institutional as much as technical because repeated custom solutions make integration, support, and improvement harder than standardization. Sensor performance therefore depends partly on procurement policy rather than on an isolated equipment statistic.

The procurement weakness behind German naval radar
German naval radar suffered from bespoke, one-off procurement choices rather than a consistent production approach.
