1. A shock isolation structure for mounting a radar system to a supporting surface on board of a vessel, comprising:

  • a platform configured for attachment to the radar systemsix strut-like damping elements operating in both tension and compression between the platform and the supporting surface; and

    a damper controller operatively connected to each of the damping elements,wherein said damping elements are oriented in a truss configuration with first ends of said damping elements connected to said supporting surface via first universal joints and with second ends of said damping elements connected to said platform via second universal joints,wherein each of said damping elements comprises a magnetor-heological or electrorheological fluid damper, andwherein the damper controller is configured to control stiffness of each of the damping elements based on an acceleration load acting on the radar system.
