Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

@houshnaghai

that is some article man . i was like this :blink: when i saw the length of the article .but i m trying to read it fully ,i hope i will achieve that landmark soon

wish me best of luck

but on serious note thanks for posting this article

Some information about Saab 2000 Erieye system for Pakistan.

Actions based on real-time information are crucial and demand systems that offer high situational awareness.

Erieye is the first high-performance, long-range Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) system based on active phased-array pulse-Doppler radar.

This new-generation system can be installed in a variety of commercial and military aircraft, including regional jet or turboprop airliners. It meets full AEW&C requirements for detecting and tracking targets at ranges of up to 450 km over land or water.

A complete system
The Erieye AEW&C Mission System includes sensors, C2 and communications. These are complemented by a comprehensive suite of training and support systems.

Compact and cost-effective
Due to its compact nature, the Erieye system is installed on small aircraft, both jet and turboprop, giving a low cost profile.

The Erieye radar is the first of its kind to use ground-breaking AESA technology. The truly multi-role Erieye radar detects and automatically tracks air and surface targets over a huge area, extending over 900 km. It is designed to track the smallest of objects, such as cruise missiles and jet-skis, even among heavy clutter and in jamming environments.

Wide coverage
Flying at high altitude, Erieye covers a much wider area than a conventional ground based sensor system can. The effective surveillance area is more than 500,000 sq km horizontally and 20 km vertically. It detects air targets at a range of up to 450 km.

Sea coverage is only limited by the horizon, which is around 350 km (190 nm). Within this area, every object in the air and at sea will be detected and pinpointed.

Multi-role
The ability to detect both air and sea targets makes it ideal for both military and security applications. It is designed to track the smallest of objects, such as cruise missiles and jet-skis, even among heavy clutter and in jamming environments.

The operator consoles are true multi-role, having identical functionalities. The role decides which functions the operator will use.

Spiralling development
By using the concept of spiral development, the system has been upgraded for each new customer. Despite having the same outward appearance, the inside is new. This process ensures that each customer obtains the latest technologies and while each subsystem remains mature.

The performance has been improved and the functionality has been increased with new radar modes etc. The modern modular architecture of the Erieye system ensures that existing customers will benefit from this development through upgrades.
A complete system
The Erieye Mission System installed in an aircraft will form a complete AEW&C system. The on-board C2 system allows the operator to have full control of the Air and Sea Picture through inputs from radar, IFF, ESM and data links.

An extensive communication suite is included, for both voice and data. Data Links are easily integrated to existing AOC with the Reporting Centre System. Mission Planning and Debriefing System, Mission Training System are examples of the ground segment.

Flexibility
The Erieye Mission is designed to operate with both jet and turboprop platforms. It is currently operational on three different platforms: Saab 340, Embraer-145 and Saab 2000. The number of operators can vary between 1 and 5, depending on the scenario. It can even be controlled remotely.

The first version of Erieye became operational in 1997 with the Swedish Air Force. Since then the system has been sold to many countries for use in both military and civil applications:

•Sweden
•Brazil
•Greece
•Mexico
•Pakistan
•Thailand
•United Arab Emirates

the translation was not so appropriate so i find it very difficult to understand few things.also the name of Palestine was used quite often in the read ,was that just a typo or something else?

accurate translation need chinese member of good english abilities( ex.siegecrossbow aimarraul and so on.) to help

Article seems to imply that the ZDK-03 system will be compatible with link-16.. and if that is the case..then apparently the idea of only interfacing on the GCI level had been scrubbed for a more comprehensive AWACS capability.

Well Sir, since we discussed with regard to JF-17 communication system and data link being western, it makes complete sense that PAF would be going with Western data link / communication system on the ZDK-03 also, and what i heard is that hopefully F-16s might also be able to communicate as well as data transfer with the ZDK-03, there would be no two tier system for both the ZDK-03 & Saab-2000 AEW&C, rather it would be one complete system of communication. Erieye would be able to communicate with everything we have, as well as with ZDK-03 also, similarly ZDK-03 would be able to talk to every platform, hopefully F-16s too.

More of your insight would be welcomed, but this is what i got from someone.

Reason being the Chinese are perfectly able to manufacture stuff based on the Western Mil-STD guidelines if required by the client, so if it complies with the MIL-STD guidelines or the system is based on such codes and guidelines, it can well be integrated with any western system using the same MIL-STD guidelines, example is the JF-17 with MIL-STD set of protocols, making it completely compatible with the western weapons systems and other stuff.

Taimi if you remember I stated a while back that in the end it was all about understanding the protocol....that the integration could be done.
However the statements by the Air Chief seemed to indicate otherwise.

Taimur; rora I will wait for further news and confirmation from you regarding western origin aircraft integration with ZDK-03; your post caught my attention
