Summary
 It is a tech of op radar with long

pulses but obtain the resolution and

accuracy of short pulse and the
detection cap of a long pulse

Radars using one ant for
transmitting and receiving are
monostatic radars
Radars having tx and rx being
separated by a dist are bistatic

In multistatic radar sys there are one
or more txs and multiple rxs , or multiple
txs and one or more rxs , each posn in
different loc

 Radar that uses electronic beam
steering is known, as" phased array
radar (PAR)"
PH AR RAY ANT
Enhanced performance in interference
and ECM envmt
Max info of tgt parameters i.e ht, bg,
range, no of tgts
Ease of maint / op and trg
Detection of low flying tgts
Measures to ctr ECM and ARMs
Mob
Altn surv methods i.e TV Camera, IR
Scanners
Very large in size
Separate ht finding and surv eqpt
Easy to jam
Less data rate
Fast and accurate data processing
3D cap
Better sig processing
Elec ident of tgts
Improved ECCM
Digital MTI
Compact
Reduce the acqn time
Better data processing time
Enhance reaction cap from
detection to destruction of tgt
Clear pic at radar / wpn end
Lower costs
Covert operation of the rx
Inc resilience to ECM as rx loc is
unknown

Cost of providing comm between sites

Difficult to depl
Exploite the ionospheric reflection of
EM waves
These radars use HF
At HF, ionosphere acts like a mirror
and the tx sig is reflected downwards
OTH radars are bistatic sys
Can also op using gr waves
Fwd scatter OTH radar does not
utilize the chars of inosphere
Uses the chars of longer wave length
of HF spectrum

whose beam is perpendicular to the ac’s
line of flt
 Cap of hi range resolution
 SLAR gen map like images of the gr
and permits detection of gr tgts
SI DE L OO KI NG A B RA DA R
(S LA R)
 One of the examples of these sys is
FLIR i.e. fwd looking IR sys
 It is a passive sys designed to loc and
tr the IR radiations, gen by the hot metal
The IR seeker or sensor is composed
of sensitive photo-conductive material
and is housed inside glass domes
FW D L OOKING AB RADAR (FLAR)
Excellent MTI performance
Can produce sharp images of tgt on
display
Immune to jamming
Smaller ant and aperture dimensions
PLESSEY AR – 327
3D AD RADAR
Jt STARS is a synthetic aperture radar
mtd on an AB platform - E- 8 C ac
The E- 8C, carries a phased-array radar
under the fwd part of the fuselage
The radar is cap of providing targeting
and battle mgmt data to all Jt STARS
ops, both in the ac and in the gr sta
modules
SAR - (JT SURV TGT ATTK RADAR SYS)

least 3000 km away
Uses two hi freq radio txs loc 2300 km
apart
 The tx arrays are about one km long
Hi sensitive rx

long, and each site consists of 960 indl
ant masts
Tx and rx sites are loc about 100 km
apart
