Main Features

  • Aiming and homing of missiles with semiactive, active and infrared homing heads, application of uncontrollable weapons and cannon weapons.
  • Simultaneous track-while-scan of up to 15 targets and firing at 4 of them in the whole angular zone in discrete tracking mode, retaining the scan capability.
  • Tracking of 2 sea targets and homing one guided missile X-31A at mobile or stationary target
  • Tracking preliminary target designation for controlled or uncontrolled weapon firing at ground target.
  • While in the mode of attacking one surface target, simultaneous detection of air targets and firing at 1 target in a long-range air fight.
  • Fighter flying control during multitarget missiles launching in "air-to-air" mode and during missiles application in "air-to-surface" mode.
  • The System is adaptable to any kind of MiG-29 fighter

Specifications

  • Detection range
  • (effective scattering area - 5m2), km............................100-120
  • Lock-on range for automatic tracking, km..............................85
  • Working frequencies range...................................................X
  • Max beam deviation in surveillance, aiming and weapon
    application modes, allowing for the aerial correction angle in azimuth,
    provided by drive mechanism...............................................±75°

The performance seems quite similar to the Zhuk-ME, in terms of overall detection range.

A question: Pit mentioned that-

"In monopulse phase-azimuth radars, there is no such distinction between "search and tracking range", you get a plot you can track/lock-on the damn plot in the same moment.

AN/APG-63 is per example one of those radars.

Monopulse amplitude-azimuth radars (like Myech, Rubin and those kind of sets) yes, there is a little distinction on search range and tracking range."


Doesnt that apply here? If it does, then why the difference between tracking and detection range?
