Super Falcon;SIR
I THINK you cant understand , what i meant!
if you connect S-300 with AWACS in the air, it can do the job perfectly!
yes S-300 radar system isnt the one that , can stand against 5 th gen. 'staelth fighter ", but linned up with AWACS in the air, certenly going to be very, very effective!
do you understand the meaning of AWACS?
Erieye radar
SAAB-340 ErieyeThe Erieye radar system, is an Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) developed by Saab Microwave Systems (formerly Ericsson Microwave Systems) of Sweden. It is based on the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA). The Erieye is used on a variety of aircraft platforms, such as the Brazilian Embraer R-99 or EMB-145. It has recently been implemented on the Saab 2000 aircraft.
The Erieye Ground Interface Segment (EGIS; not to be confused with the Aegis combat system) is a major component of the software used by the Erieye system.
The radar provides 360 degree coverage and has an instrumental range of 450km and detection range of 350 km in a dense hostile electronic warfare environment in heavy radar clutter and at low target altitudes. In addition to this, the radar is also capable of identifying friends or foes, and has a sea surveillance mode.
The Erieye system has full interoperability with NATO air defence command and control systems.
Sweden has loaned two of these systems to Greece, while they are still owned by the Swedish Air Force. SAAB signed an 8 billion krona provisional contract to supply 6 of these systems to Pakistan, which was finalized in June 2006.
KJ-2000 Airborne Warning & Control System
Key Information
Type: Airborne early warning and control
PLA Designation: KongJing-2000
Contractors: Beriev, Antonov, Xi'an Aircraft Corporation (XAC), Nanjing Research Institute of Electronic Technology (14 Institute)
Maiden Flight: November 2003
IOC: 2006~07
Service Status: PLA Air Force (4 examples)
Summary
The KJ-2000 was a direct result of the failed A-50I Phalcon Programme. China started a three-way talk with Israel and Russia in 1994 for a possible purchase of advanced AWACS aircraft. Under the proposal, Russia would provide four Beriev A-50 Mainstay airframes, which were to be fitted with the Phalcon airborne early warning (AEW) radar and other C3I system developed by Israeli Aircraft Industries Ltd (IAI). In May 1997, China, Israel, and Russia reached an agreement to supply one such AWACS aircraft under the designation A-50I for $250 million, with the option of three more for a total cost of $1 billion. In October 1999, Russia delivered the first A-50 aircraft to Israel for the installation of the Phalcon AEW radar system.
By May 2000, Israel had nearly completed the system installation. However, the Phalcon deal became an increasingly controversial issue between the United States and Israel. In 2000, the Clinton Administration voiced stronger objections to the sale and urged Israel to cancel the sale of the Phalcon, saying it is a system comparable to the U.S. AWACS and could collect intelligence and guide aircraft from 250 miles away. After some intensive talks, the Israeli government finally cancelled the deal with China in July 2000.
The fallout of the Phalcon deal was a major blow for Chinas military modernisation programme. China reacted to the setback by starting a domestic programme to develop its own airborne early warning radar and relevant C3I systems. The Israeli-made Phalcon radar and other onboard electronic systems were retrieved from the unfinished A-50I, and the airframe was handed to China via Russia in 2002. Modifications on the airframe began in late 2002 to install the Chinese-made airborne radar system at XAC. A total of four planes were produced, with one based on the A-50I airframe (which can be identified by its nose-mounted aerial refuelling probe), and other three being converted using existing IL-76MD transports in service with the PLAAF. The conversation work was carried out by the XAC.
Design
The KJ-2000 has five flight crew and possibly 10~15 mission crew. The aircraft carries out patrol missions at an altitude of 5,000~10,000m. The maximum flight range of the aircraft is 5,000km and the flight endurance is 7 hours 40 minutes. At a range of 2,000km, the aircraft can remain on patrol for up to 1 hour 25 minutes.
The A-50 airframe, developed and manufactured by the Beriev Aircraft Research and Engineering Complex Joint Stock Company based at Taganrog in the Rostov Region of Russia, was derived from the Ilyushin IL-76 jet transport aircraft, distinguished by the large, non-rotate radome containing the phased-array radar antenna; the solid nose replacing the original glass-in nose, and a large number of electronic system antennas on the front section of the fuselage.
Radar
The primary radar system housed in the radome is an three-sided electronically steered phased-array (ESA) developed by Nanjing-based 14 institute. Unlike the Russian A-50 or U.S. E-3, which rotate their rotodomes to give a 360 degree coverage, the KJ-2000's radar antenna does not rotate. Instead, three ESA antenna modules are placed in a triangular configuration inside the round radome to provide a 360 degree coverage.
The Chinese-made radar system could be similar in design to the IAI Phalcon, but may not be as capable as the latter. The Phalcon system could track up to 60~100 targets at the same time and guide a dozen fighters in all-weather, day and night operations.
Y-8 Rotodome Airborne Early Warning Aircraft
Following the introduction of the KJ-2000 AWACS and KJ-200 (Y-8 'Balance Beam) AEW aircraft in 2001/02, a third Chinese AEW aircraft programme was revealed in 2005. Based on the Shaanxi Y-8F-400 airframe, the aircraft features a conventional rotodome mounted above the fuselage. Internet source photos showed that an example has been built, carrying serial number T0518. The exact status of the programme is unknown, but some sources suggested that the aircraft may have been aiming the export market.
Airborne electronic systems has been a focus of the PLAs extensive military modernisation since the 1990s. In particular, AEW capability has been seen by the military as vital to obtain air superiority over the Taiwan Strait. The fact that the PLAAF is testing AEW/AWACS designs with different radar arrangements (rotodome, fixed dish radome phased array radar, and balance beam-style electronically scanned array radar) reflects its serious intention to develop a modernised AEW&C capability.
The Y-8F-400 was developed by Shaanxi in Aircraft Industry Corporation in 2001. The aircraft features a solid nose which replaced the Y-8s original glass-in nose design, and a three-man flight crew. All windows on the fuselage were removed. A pair of vertical stabilisers are fitted on the tips of the tail-plane to enhance directional stability.
Little is known about the performance of the radar system fitted on the new Y-8 AEW. It was estimated that the aircraft may be comparable to the U.S. E-2C Hawkeye in terms of performance and capabilities.
Y-8 EW/ELINT
"Gaoxin Project" - Y-8 Electronic Warfare Aircraft
Shaanxi Aircraft Industry (Group) Co. has been developing a range of special purposes aircraft based on its Y-8 turboprop transport platform since the late 1990s. The development programme, known as Gaoxin Project (Gaoxin = High & New), consists of at least seven variants for airborne early warning and control (AEW&C), electronic warfare (EW), electronic intelligence (ELINT), and communication relay roles. The main contractor of the electronic systems onboard these aircraft is the China Electronic Technology Group Corporation (CETC).
The Gaoxin 1 project is an electronic warfare (EW) and electronic intelligence (ELINT) aircraft based on the Y-8C airframe. The aircraft features a large canoe-shape radome under the forward fuselage, possibly housing a phased array radar or ECM antenna. The aircraft retained the glass-in nose of the Y-8C, but had the rear loading ramp removed and replaced by an array of electronic equipment antennas. More antennas can be found under the fuselage between the main landing gears. At least two examples (21011 and 21013) have been identified in service with the Nanjing Military Region Air Force (MRAF).
Y-8 SIGINT ("Gaoxin 2")
The Gaoxin 2 project is a signals intelligence (SIGINT) aircraft based on the Y-8C platform, equipped with an extensive array of sophisticated equipment to monitor enemy electronic activities. The aircraft features a large under-chin radome and a large semi-spherical radome on top of the fuselage before the vertical tailfin, both of which could be used to house electronic equipment antennas. The aircraft also has a number of smaller radomes and electronic antennas attached to its fuselage.
The PLA Naval Aviation Corps currently deploys a small number of the aircraft. The first example carrying serial number 9351 was first spotted in operational service with the PLA Naval Aviation 1st Independent Regiment from its base in Laiyang Naval Air Station, Shangdong Province in Summer 2004. A second example was later identified serving with another naval aviation independent regiment at an unknown location. The aircraft has also been spotted flying near the Japanese coast since 2006.
NOW dear Super Falcon;SIR, here are some of systems, which can be obtained easily , or already in pakistans hands, so dear if we can conect S-300, OR HQ-9, HQ-12, HQ-10, with these following systems ,surly we can reach to the ablity to detect in-comming enemy '"staelth fighter", & it will be 80% chances that , we can take it down .
i hope you will going to understand the logic , that how to connect them with , SAMZ!
