Page "Multistatic radar" Paragraph 13

Increased survivability and ‘ graceful degradation ’ may result from the spatially distributed nature of multistatic radar.

A fault in either transmitter or receiver for a monostatic or bistatic system will lead to a complete loss of radar functionality.

From a tactical point of view, a single large transmitter will be easier to locate and destroy compared to several distributed transmitters.

Likewise, it may be increasingly difficult to successfully focus jamming on multiple receivers compared to a single site.
