Replacement of the current GBAD radars operated by the
Artillery Corp operate with a powerful 3D surveillance radar and
C4I functionality; expected to have a UAV Detection ability, C-
RAM (Counter Rockets, Artillery and Munitions) allied to a
system that can be operated remotely or locally with the ability
to provide a networked air picture.

Just to clarify,We already have the CG84 MK3 deployed in small numbers. Mainly overseas since 2007-2008. MK4 would be the logical upgrade.
Interesting that IMBAS(GSBA/BV) replacement only got a footnote despite that program already being progressed."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

The requirement is to replace the Giraffe Mk4 in the GBAD role, the 1X has a range of 75km which is more than enough for GBAD. In that role it is normally linked with the RBS70 Mk2 system.
If that is too short a range the next Saab radar would be the ABM with a range of 120km and is the radar used with the British Sky Sabre (Land CAMM) SAM system.

Just noticed we are talking about different things:
Other important platforms or associated equipment capabilities
? Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD) Radar – this is an important asset used by the Artillery Corps – an updated system is due for acquisition in the period 2021-22.Future programmes at pre planning stage
Beyond the very significant range of projects already underway or in existing planning streams, the EDP highlights others that are expected to progress in future phases of the plan. This is not an exhaustive list but gives an indication of the scale and range of programmes that will enter planning. At this stage there is not a definite commitment to pursue, or an associated time-frame, for these. These include a primary radar system
