Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[SBD-3]

How can u define qualitative technology.

Nodoubt coming J-10B anf JF-17 is qualitywise comparable to any 4.5th and 4th generaion AC.

Quality = Reliablie + Efficient + Satisfaction.
Chinese AC hav all the 3 quality attributes.

he means FC-K 1 ching ku'z and F-16 C/Ds with sky sword missiles (oooooooooo I'm scared, Please dont hurt me!!!!!!)

Can senior members please weigh in on this because i found the report to not be credible.

Rubbish, was it amateur hour on YAWN news? I don't care how big and expensive the Phalcon is it CANNOT jam the Erieye. The Erieye has two notable short comings vis-à-vis the Phalcon:

1. 360 deg coverage.
2. Ground detection range is limited to 100 km.

While 1 can be overcome by operating two Erieye’s in tandem, 2 is a real concern and PAF will have to acquire several more Erieye’s in case one is lost in battle.

well pakistan is really concerned about the chiness system, hopefully they will take care of this issue...
what are the chances

 

[mean_bird]

hahaha..these are airborne early warning systems not fighter jets that the journalist is comparing one-on-one. They will probably never come within 200-300km of each other let alone jamming the other's system. And if that were the case, then Ericsson and Erieye would soon be out of business. And no AWACS system is let alone to defend for itself as it has no weapons or ability to deal with fighter jets.

Maybe the reporter has been reading BR before reporting.

some cool pics of PAF Erieye while it was undergoing testing:

ERIEYE has a fixed, dual-sided and electronically scanned antenna mounted on top of the fuselage. This places much less demand on aircraft size and is designed for mounting on commuter-type aircraft. The ERIEYE is capable of 360° detection and tracking of air and sea targets over the horizon. The instrumented range is 450km and a typical detection range against a fighter aircraft size target is in excess of 350km.

The system uses advanced solid-state electronics, open-system architecture and ruggedized commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, including general-purpose programmable workstations and full-colour LCD displays. The ERIEYE radar is already in service with the Swedish Air Force and is in series production for Brazil and other customers.

THIS IS A NEWS I FOUND FOR ALL MY BROTHERS WHO ARE UNSURE OF THE EREIYE SYSTEM CAPABILITIES. the UAE is buying the EREIYE system....unlike us they have the money to go for HAWKEYE or any other AWACS system yet they are choosing the EREIYE!!!

all i say is BELIEVE IN THE EREIYE

Saab Signs Contract with United Arab Emirates for Airborne Surveillance System


(Source: Saab AB; issued Nov. 17, 2009)



Defence and security company Saab has signed a contract for the sale of an airborne surveillance system to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The contract is worth approximately 1.5 billion SEK.

The contract covers two Saab 340 AEW (Airborne Early Warning) systems, comprising of the Saab 340 aircraft equipped with the advanced Erieye radar system. The contract also includes ground equipment as well as logistics and support services. Together with associated ground equipment, the system will provide a detailed situational picture that can be used in conjunction with, for example, border control and rescue operations.

"We've been conducting discussions with the UAE for several years concerning an airborne surveillance system," says Saab's CEO Åke Svensson. "This contract is an additional proof of our expertise and international competitiveness within the field of network-based solutions for defence and civil security."

Saab's Erieye surveillance system is a market success. The first Erieye surveillance system was delivered to the Swedish Air Force on a Saab 340 aircraft platform. The system has also been sold to Thailand with the Saab 340 as a platform, and this time the United Arab Emirates. The radar system has also been installed on the Embraer-145 aircraft and is operational in Brazil, Mexico and Greece.

The system will soon be delivered to Pakistan on Saab 2000 aircraft.


Saab serves the global market with world-leading products, services and solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. Saab has operations and employees on all continents and constantly develops, adopts and improves new technology to meet customers’ changing needs.

Just a KJ-2000 and KJ-200 picture for every one to enjoy!

I think the Pakistan Air force should buy the KJ-200 instead of the much bigger, complicated and offcourse more expensive KJ-2000. There are two reasons:
1. Pakistan's air space is not THAT big, compare to China and India, meaning a huge AWAC would be a overkill.
2. KJ-2000 is developed from the Russian Ilyushin Il-76 airframe, and Russians might put export restrictions on China if India really pressures them. Kj-200 is based on Chinese's own airfram, so Pakistan doesn't need to worry about sanctions.
