While MAR was ultimately successful, the cost of the system was enormous. When the ABM problem became so complex that even a system like MAR could no longer deal with realistic attack scenarios, the Nike-X concept was abandoned in favor of much simpler concepts like the [[Sentinel program]], which did not use MAR. A second example, MAR-II, was abandoned in-place on [[Kwajalein Atoll]].{{sfn|Bell Labs|1975|p=2-22}}

The first Soviet APAR, the [[5N65 radar|5N65]], was developed in 1963 –19651963–1965 as a part of the S-225 ABM system. After some modifications in the system concept in 1967 it was built at [[Sary Shagan]] Test Range in 1970 –1971 and nicknamed Flat Twin in the West. Four years later another radar of this design was built on [[Kura Test Range]], while the S-225 system was never commissioned.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}

* The first military ground-based AESA was the [[J/FPS-3]] which became fully operational with the 45th Aircraft Control and Warning Group of the [[Japan Self-Defense Forces]] in 1995.
