data for: F/A-18E/F APG-79 radar aircraft installation of imagination Figure

LONDON July 26 news: According to the U.S. Defense News 21 reported that Raytheon officials who said the company is currently developing new micro-active phased array radar to penetrate the aircraft fuselage, and even the missile shell machine.

reported that the new radar Raytheon weight may be more part of the existing active phased array radar light times, and its miniature design so that it can be installed on aircraft nose at, and perhaps also be mounted on the wing front, radar missile unmanned aerial vehicles and other body parts.

Raytheon’s APG-79 AESA radar – the U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F “Super Hornet” will be equipped with this radar – array weight 95 pounds, the whole system weight 650 pounds.

Raytheon’s Tactical Airborne Systems business development director Fred Rana said: “We have committed to this work, like around 2000, the U.S. Air Force uses active electronically scanned array radar technology front, When we began to study this technology as. “

Rana said, micro-sensor may be applied to two to five years on the plane.

Raytheon’s business development manager Michael? Garcia (Michael Garcia) said that although the radar’s range and ability to remain confidential, but “the next 10 years, we will continue to develop this technology”, so that is equipped with advanced electronic scanning Lielieleida aircraft, to cover its body, giving it a 360-degree awareness. Garcia said: “This is the conformal transducer focus.”

active phased array radar can simultaneously monitor the air and ground conditions, but also to capture high-resolution synthetic aperture radar remote sensing ground image, the degree of precision so often used to determine whether the ground cloth with a bomb. However, Garcia did not disclose whether the company is trying to use this technology to expand the need to rely on air attacks over the horizon radar target air missiles – such as AMRAAM missiles – the tracking range.
