Russia is modernizing the Don-2N radar
The reason for a somewhat unusual series of two launches of ABM interceptor in a row, conducted in October 2007, was that the Space Forces are working on an upgrade of the Don-2N radar of the Moscow ABM system. According to Vladimir Popovkin, the commander of the Space Forces, the first test was conducted to confirm characteristics of the missile and the second one - to test the "new computational system and its software" that is being installed at the Don-2N radar. The tests took place on October 11, 2007 and October 30, 2007.

"The multifunctional Don radar had a shape of a truncated pyramid with equal length and width (100 meters), and height of 45 meters. Phased arrays with diameter of 16 meters each were mounted on four sides of the pyramid. Along with the digital processing of incoming signals and information, this radar features an antimissile missile control channel and a wide range of probing signals, making its operation possible in various modes. The resolution characteristics of the radar are excellent, and it can see space objects a few centimeters in size.
Building of the radar began in 1978, and it reached full operational capability around 1989. The modified Don 2NP large multifunction phased-array radar at Pushkino is an integral part of the A-135 Moscow ABM system. The radar, which has 360-degree coverage, provides support for GAZELLE and GORGON interceptor systems. "
