radar

Recently, while reviewing online sources, I came across several third-party articles mentioning that the Sapfir-23MLAE2 radar equipped on the MiG-23MLD possesses a distinctive feature not found in earlier variants of the Sapfir-23 series: namely, a vertical scanning mode covering -6° to +45°...

I’m looking into getting a detailed book on either of these planes. I would prefer a very detailed book with information both about development and specifications. I’ve heard that Piotr Butowski’s book about the Su-57 is quite good. A book about Russian airborne radars would also be very...

Hello, this is my first post here! Recently, I have been searching around the internet to find info on this specific radar. Many of my questions have been answered but some still remain. Some sources claim 400km(3m^2) while other claim that this range is only in a cued search mode, normal...

Starting this thread specifically to follow new technology and updates for ultra-wide band gap semiconductors including but not limited to Ga_2_O3 (gallium oxide), AIN (aluminum nitride), and Diamond. China has been making strides in this area with reports indicating a demo 8mm wafer size of...

I understand that after the Falklands the Batch I Sheffields were re-fit with the 1022? I checked in a couple of references online and while the 1022 is always mentioned in conjunction with the Batch II and III, I cannot find anyone detailing the upgrades of the earlier ships. I'd like to update...

As many may be aware in the mid 60s the British were in a joint project with the Dutch to develop an advanced radar known as the Type 988 Broomstick, which was to be fitted to the Type 82 DLG and CVA01 carrier. When CVA01 was cancelled so too was British participation in the Type 988 project...

I am reading an article on the LW/AW radar set designed in Australia. It states the first production unit went into full operation at Tufi in November 1942. When I google Tufi airfield, all I find is this web page, which claims it was built in the 1960s...

I noticed that Heemskerck-class frigates have two 2D radars: LW-08 and DA-05/08. So this type of frigates don't need a dedicated height-finding radar or a 3D radar? How do they get the altitude of engaging targets?

I read in the book Jane's Fighting Ships 1989-90 that the Kortenaer-class frigates are equipped with STIR-180 radar and WM-25 radar. It seems that both radars can be used for fire control of Sea Sparrow missiles and main guns, so what is the difference in the functions of these two radars on the...

It seemed like the right time to start a thread, considering the volume of R&D done by Aselsan and the recent developments. --------------- https://turdef.com/article/aselsan-develops-alp-500g-fixed-early-warning-radar View: https://x.com/T_Nblty/status/1796233062138654775...

Been trying to find out more on this subject, but there seems to be frustratingly little. I'm interested in finding out data on 1970s-1980s soviet and american radar processors to form an idea about the oft-mentioned gap between the two in this domain. i'm not a computer man so anything detailed...

The one thing am curious about this radar is, could it have been made small enough to fit in a regular f-16 or was the increased size of the f-2 nessary inorder to fit it. And how much would that have effected its range because as is, iv seen the J/APG 1's range as described as in between the...

Greetings friends, Some time ago there was a site called apss.org.uk which contained information about the work a gentleman named Alex W. Duncan did whilst employed at Ferranti. It contained a fascinating essay titled "Ferranti and the Buccaneer S1 Delivery system". I have this essay saved on...

In this Douglas P-70 night fighter of the 419th NFS, crash landed at Piva-Bougainville by Lt Donald Dessert, the fixed quarter wave dipoles for azimuth receiving have been replaced by four german style “Stachel” rods. Can anyone identify which radar they belong to?

Here's a somewhat thorough article about SAGE, the "Semi-Automatic Ground Environment" system co-ordinating air defense over North America from 1958, parts of it surviving operational up until the early 1980s...

I've tried to collect the WW2 Japanese radar Type designation systems with data and if possible photos and drawings. Gathered from these sources: http://www.combinedfleet.com/radar.htm http://pwencycl.kgbudge.com/R/a/Radar.htm http://home.e01.itscom.net/ikasas/index.htm...

In an exclusive interview the President of SSB Prof. Dr. Ismail Demir spoke to defensehere.com about "Project Liberty (Özgür)". Touching on the needs of the Turkish Air Force for aircrafts, Demir said the following: "Liberty is a project carried out independently of the USA. So, if we were...
