PAF to Unveil Locally Made Stealth Radars for Fighter Jets - March 2022 .

[Scorpiooo]

Any solid source or jist rumors?

 

[Iron Shrappenel]

We will see

Lazim hai k hum bhee deikhein gae

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

great news

 

[Iron Shrappenel]

Unreliable sources

It's true.

A stealth RADAR?

Phat gayi.

Now these pesky scoundrels will be making stealth landing gear, stealth air force bases, stealth Corps Commanders....

AESA radar they meant but it is way better than cloud theory by Modi.

 

[Princeps Senatus]

Nah, not how it works. Only way for aircraft radar to not give away its position is to have its radar off. Aesa makes Jamming harder, but not much other advantages.

Ever heard of LPI?

maar diya zalim ...."Stealth Radar' .....

 

[White and Green with M/S]

What is the name of the Indian AESA radar?

Uttham for Tej@$$

Good news congrats and happy to hear further developments. For ground based applications a counter anti radiation elint measure would be a necessary combination with the aesa pacakge. It should be less costly than making a layered missile defense sytem to protect the radar as a static detectable component.


Giraffe radar for example uses the mast to lower and raise the radar emitter in case of a detected attack. It makes the missiles to find the position of the vehicle more difficult.

Giraffe radar - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

There are measures against giraffe radars like this one waiting with a parachute above the transmitter. When it opens again it claims that sidelobes would be trackable once the missile is above close to the radar installation.

Also triangulation is still possible if the radar emitter stays in the same position and can be attacked with stand off munition like cruise missiles. Another option is the Russian systems like Tor and Pantsyr. Though in combat the systems were seen to be vulnurable the claim is they can track on the move which negates static attack options like cruise missiles and similar . These were taken out generally by stealthy drones on the move and not with sat photos with gps-ins tracked stand off cruise missiles etc.

Maybe a camouflaged vehicle at the center and the mast extending sideways can be an option in my opinion. The sideways extending mast would be 10-20m as long as possible can be rotated with radar dish at the tip of the mast clockwise or counterclockwise without vibration and tracking on the move would be more easier when vibration is under control. Since radar dish wont stay at the same position triangulation would be difficult and static attack options will not hit easily unless they carry explosives large enough. When anti radar attack is detected the emitter can close and start again in a far location close to the opposite side of the vehicle.

Should not be called stealth RADAR. AESA are more sensitive because of frequency range they transmit. X- Band more sensitive so that may be used in aircraft AESA and S-Band on Ground RADAR.
PAC probably should use a rotating swash plate to get higher FOV and absorb as much of the returning EM waves from the opposite object.
But it is great work if they r doing it. Doing own R&D gives so many more opportunities and chance to improvise if not innovate.

At this rate PAF will be making 6th Gens before Amreekans and Chinese.. LOL....

 

[White privilege]

LOL the writer probably means LPI and remaining elusive to passive enemy sensors....

 

[Joe Shearer]

Radar is called LSTAR i think.

Maybe.

I'm not sure, as I haven't come across any name.

AESA radar they meant but it is way better than cloud theory by Modi.

Hamay bhi mauka diya karo.

Really hairy question.

Counting ONLY airborne systems, a list would look like this:

• USA
• UK
• France
• Japan
• Israel
• Russia
• China
• India
• a conglomerate of several European companies, including the Italians

Land-based systems are a separate list.

Looks accurate. I looked at a source that listed about 20 countries both for airborne and land-based systems.

Should not be called stealth RADAR

They just used a term which they might thought would be easy to understand for common readers.

Proper term is Low Probability Intercept (LPI) RADAR.
