The AN/APG-68(V)9 [6] radar system consists of the following line-replaceable units: Antenna; Medium Duty Transmitter (MDT) Modular Receiver/Exciter (MoRE) Common Radar Processor (CoRP) The AN/APG-68(V)9 radar is the latest development. Besides the increase in scan range compared to the previous version, it has a Synthetic aperture radar (SAR ...
AN/SPY-6(V)1: Also known as the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR). [21] It is 4-sided phased array radar , each with 37 RMAs. It is estimated to have a 15 dB sensitivity improvement compared to the previous generation AN/SPY-1 radar, or capable of detecting targets half the size at twice the distance. [ 22 ]
The former J-31 San Pedro JSS ARSR-1 radar site, California USAF Battle Control System operators monitor the skies from the floor of the program's Eastern Air Defense Sector location. The Joint Surveillance System (JSS) is a joint United States Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration system for the atmospheric air defense of North America.
The AN/FPS-117 is an L-band active electronically scanned array (AESA) 3-dimensional air search radar first produced by GE Aerospace in 1980 and now part of Lockheed Martin. [1] [2] The system offers instrumented detection at ranges on the order of 200 to 250 nautical miles (370 to 460 km; 230 to 290 mi) and has a wide variety of interference and clutter rejection systems.
The C-Band Radar Transponder (Model SST-135C) is intended to increase the range and accuracy of the radar ground stations equipped with AN/FPS-16, and AN/FPQ-6 Radar Systems. C-band radar stations at the Kennedy Space Center, along the Atlantic Missile Range, and at many other locations around the world, provide global tracking capabilities.
At each end of the two arrays, there is a set of transmitting and receiving equipment. It emits a signal covering a sector 30 degrees in azimuth and 30 degrees in elevation, with the scanning controlled by frequency. Four sets mean the radar covers 120 degrees in azimuth and 30 degrees in elevation (5 to 35 degrees). [2]
According NIIP's product specification, the Irbis-E can detect and track up to 30 airborne targets at a time and attack up to 8. [4] In air-to-surface mode the Irbis-E provides mapping allowing to attack four surface targets with precision-guided weapons while scanning the horizon searching for airborne threats that can be engaged using semi-active radar homing missiles.

The detection performance of the Zaslon radar is stated to be 200 km against a target with a radar cross section (RCS) of 16 m 2, the radar can track up to 10 targets while engaging 4 of those at any one time with either R-33 radar guided or R-40, R-60 IR-guided air-to-air missiles. [5] The Zaslon was the Soviet Union's second look-down/shoot ...
