New Instant Radar for India.

[aanshu001]

India is buying twenty Ground Master 400 portable radars. The system fits in a 20 foot shipping container and weighs less than ten tons. Thus it can be carried on one truck. This is an AESA radar that can be set up by a four man crew in 30 minutes. It can detect large aircraft at up to nearly 500 kilometers, while smaller combat aircraft are spotted at closer to 400 kilometers. Aircraft can be seen at up to 33 kilometers altitude. The entire system will, on average, operate for 3,500 hours before experiencing a failure.
India and the manufacturer (Thales) are still working out delivery details. Each radar system will cost about $5 million.

GM400 : The world’s first long range high medium low altitude radar


New threats

Until the turn of 21st century, traditional notions of peace and war are giving way to a permanent emergency situation, with different levels of severity and multi-faceted air threats (combat aircraft, helos, UAV, ballistic missiles, airliners , light passenger aircraft) in particular at low or very low altitude.Ground Master Family The Ground Master is a family of versatile, multimission air defence radars, dedicated to the protection of key assets and forces deployed in remote theatres. The Ground Master is the first product to combine three revolutionary concepts: “digital radar”, “e-radar” and “green radar”.The Ground Master 400 is specifically designed to meet the following operational requirements:

* High detection performance;
* High operational availability and simplified maintenance;
* High mobility.

Performance

* Fully digital
* Digital Beam Forming
* Stacked beam (Maximum time on target)
* Antenna rotation speed: 6 sec.
* S-Band (High part 2.9 / 3.3 GHz)
* 2 Doppler modes
* ECCM capabilities
* TBM capability
* Detection domain
o Instrumented range: 470 km
o Minimum detection range: 5 km
o Ceiling: up to 100,000 feet
o Elevation coverage: 20°
o Range (combat aircraft): 390 km
o Accuracy/Discrimination
o Range: 50 m / 200 m
o Azimuth: 0.3° / 3°
o Height: 2,000 feet at 100 Nm

* Electronic tilts: - 6° / + 5°

Permanence

* MTBCF: 3,500 hours
* Operational availability > 99,9 %
* High level of redundancies (transmitters, receivers, ancillaries, processing parts)
* Graceful degradation
* Air cooled solid state transmitter
* Optical fibers for RF signal
* Permanent remote information (Manless)
* Chosen and planned maintenance with limited team

Deployability/ Survivability

* 1 single package (20 feet ISO standard container, 10 tons)
* Plug, play and operate in Network Centric Operations
* Radar installation: 30 min / 4 people
* Safety and security for operators operating in a remote control way
* One single truck, one tactical aircraft (C-130 type) or helicopter

Cool!!! a right step towards bridging the gap in air defense can it be data linked with air defense missiles.
