Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[MJaa]

The Pakistani Saab-2000 AEW&C uses of new generation radar transmit/receive modules which generate around 60% extra output. Higher operating ceiling of 9,150 m and increased radar output allows Pakistani Erieye AEW&C to detect both air and maritime targets from much longer ranges then the first and second generation Erieye systems.

Its same as the any other Erieye AEW&C in the world. The following link from Saab's official website says Service ceiling 30,000 ft. 1ft = 0.30480000m, which means 30000ft = 9144.0000m

Active phased array pulse doppler radar????

WTH....can anyone explain how can it be phased array and pulse doppler?

 

[farhan_9909]

is it true that the PAF erieye was the latest of all the other erieye customers?

there were sites claiming of it having more t/r modules and blah blah?

From its standard operational altitude of 6000 metres (19,685 feet, or FL200) the radar has a maximum range of 450 km (279 miles). Against a fighter-sized target effective range is approximately 330 km (205 miles). Seaborne targets can be detected at 320 km (1998 miles), though this is a function of the aircraft’s cruising height.

higher Service ceiling of Saab-2000 will certainly result in increased capability to look over the horizons

Somewhere I read, PAF has asked SAAB to customize erieye to cover the blind spots in front and back up to an extent. So instead of 120 Degree scan on either side with 240 degree complete scan, with additional arrays, PAF Erieye can do 150 Degree coverage on either side totaling 300 degree complete coverage leaving 60 Degree blind spots.

Even few aircraft like about 5 Saab-2000 MPA and 2 Saab-2000 AEW&C would be enough for the PN as well to complement the current fleet and then wait for ZDK-03 as well as Y-9 MPAs to come.

This is one scary bird you would not like to mess out with.

It sounds that ISRAEL had helped them in this regards.

 

[Bratva]

guys anyone confirm is it 4 saab awacs plus 1 trainer or 3 saab awacs plus 1 trainer? Because all the previous reports told that it was 4 + 1 but after the attack newspaper said that it was 3 + 1 ?

Everyone needs help at the start. Either way this is a massive achivment for India.

Taliban Anti-Aircraft Troops Score Another Hit


August 27, 2012: Pakistan recently revealed that an August 17th raid on one of their air bases had damaged one of their four Saab 2000 AWACS aircraft. These are Swedish Saab 2000 aircraft, mounting a Swedish Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar (which consists of thousands of tiny radars that can be independently aimed in different directions). This is similar to the AESA radar used on the American JSTARS aircraft, enabling it to locate vehicles moving on the ground as well as ships at sea and aircraft in flight. The Swedish AESA is cheaper, because its built like a long bar, mounted on top of the aircraft. This means the radar can only see in a 120 degree arc off both sides of the aircraft. A 60 degree arc in the front and back is uncovered. The radar can spot large aircraft out to nearly 500 kilometers and more common fighter sized aircraft at about 300 kilometers.

The Saab 2000 is a 22 ton, twin prop aircraft, with a cruising speed of 660 kilometers an hour. The aircraft can stay in the air about nine hours per sortie. The Ericsson PS-890 Erieye radar is also programmed to spot ships at sea and thus can also fill in for maritime reconnaissance.

Meanwhile, Pakistan only recently (last February) received replacements for two P-3C maritime patrol aircraft destroyed in a Taliban terrorist attack on a naval air base two years ago. Pakistan now has three P-3s with one more to go on the six aircraft order. The Pakistani P-3s are optimized for maritime surveillance with new electronics and the ability to see the results of all sensors on one display.

what else can we expect you to say!

 

[farhan_9909]

but if the saab 2000 is repairable

than nt a big deal..

 

[fatman17]

but if the saab 2000 is repairable

than nt a big deal..

it is not but it shouldnt have happened in the first place.

 

[dilpakistani]

yea it shouldn't have happened at all ... har kuta billa ager iss tarah attack kerkay destory keray ga tu phir .. Allah hi hafiz hai

Erieye Radar in layman's language


The Erieye radar system is an Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) system developed by Saab Microwave Systems of Sweden. It is based on an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA).

The radar is an active, phased-array, medium to high PRF pulse Doppler sensor that can feed to on-board operator architecture or downlink data.

Its antenna is fixed and the beam is electronically scanned, which provides superior detection and significantly enhanced tracking performance compared with older style radar-dome antennas.

The radar provides a broadside sector of 150º on each side and has an instrumental range of 280 miles (450km). It works from low level up to more than 82,000ft (25,000m) and has an effective surveillance area of 193,000 sq. miles (500,000km2). The system can track 500 sea and 1,000 air targets simultaneously, identified either manually or automatically.

For example, the radar can detect/track air targets, sea targets and hovering helicopters simultaneously in a split second. This is applied in a dense hostile electronic warfare environment, in heavy radar clutter and at low target altitudes. It detects small air targets, hovering helicopters, cruise missiles and small sea targets such as jet skis etc. It works in E/F band (3GHz) incorporating 192 two-way transmit/receive modules.

The Erieye system has full interoperability with NATO air defense command and control systems and other LINK 16 equipped assets.
