There's another recent peer comment that confirms 1.5 million US for a large 250kW is a pulse power for a C-band stationary radar system with 300 km of range.
This is a small doppler with modest power and 70 km range max.
If cost is proportional to the 3D volume of space scanned (as the power requirements likely are) Then this small mini radar might well be less than 100K.
TBH I have no specific knowledge here although I have worked in other sensing domains and seen a wide spread on cost of equipment related to volume and quality of data.
I'd be interested in the flat cost price of the mini system, I suspect that's not going to appear without some inside knowledge or working a dealer, it appears to be a rare bespoke kinf of thing, not like the commercial fishing radars.
