Air force to buy long-range radar by Tk 147cr

[BDforever]

The Bangladesh Air Force is going to purchase a long-range air defence radar to be set up in Barisal to bolster security system in the southern region, officials said.
The cost of the radar to be supplied by Finmeccanica of Italy has been fixed at Tk 147 crore.
Finmeccanica, also known as Leonardo, was selected by the air force in June from amongst five bidders for the deal.
Thales Raytheon System of France, Poly Technologies Inc and CETC of China and ANPC of the United States also competed in the bid.
Officials said that the air force had planned to pay the price in three phases with Tk 110 crore in the current financial year.
The air force sent a letter to the finance ministry for its approval for the payment of instalments to the supplier from the budgetary allocations.
The letter said that the radar would be commissioned in Barisal as part of the Forces Goal Vision 2030.
According to the Forces Goal Vision 2030, the air force has long-term procurement plans including acquiring new generation fighter aircraft between 2020 and 2025.
It received Yakovlev Yak-130 multi-role helicopter and AgustaWestland AW139 search and rescue helicopter on December 6, 2015.
The air force also purchased 24 training-cum-combat aircraft from Russia under $1 billion supplier’s credit in 2012.

Some info about this radar:

SELEX Sistemi Integrati, a Finmeccanica company, signed an agreement with the Procurement department of the Ministry of Defence of the Federal Republic of Germany (BWB), to supply two L-BandLong Range 3D air surveillance Mobile Radars (RAT 31 DL/M) for the German Air Force.

The contract (about 50,000,000 €) has been totally financed by German national funds and the supply is expected to be completed by 2007. SELEX Sistemi Integrati has been selected among highly qualified world-wide competitors. The RAT 31 DL/M Radar systems ordered by the BWB are the first of this model ever sold to a NATO country, totally responding to the latest ACCS criteria and standards.

RAT 31 DL/M Radar systems are based on the technology used for the RAT 31 DL/FADR (Fixed Air Defence Radar) systems, in service or on delivery to a large number of NATO/European and extra European countries, both in fixed or transportable configuration. The compact L-Band RAT 31 DL/M Radar system derives from successful RAT 31 DL, a NATO standard, already selected by eight countries. The current production of these systems carries the highest maturity and technological level.

The RAT 31 DL/M Radar systems, consisting of a foldable antenna and a shelter, both in two ISO 20 ft packages, can be transported in one A400M type aircraft as well as on truck and rail. This configuration allows for a high degree of mobility and fast deployment/re-deployment of the system, which is carried out autonomously, without external cranes or other on-site technical support, also on unprepared sites.

The solid-state phased array monopulse radar has got an antenna with an area of 77 m² (11 m·7 m). It works with 42 rows with 52 radiators per row and 42 transmitter/receiver modules with a power of 2 kilowatts. Further advantage is gained from the beam-forming technique used (squintless electronic phase scanning in elevation) which allows the simultaneous independent management of the system's four transmission beams without any break in the frequency band. The detection envelope a 360° in azimuth (a mechanically 6 rpm rotation) up to a range of 270 nautical miles and an altitude up to 92 kft. The RAT-31DL/M includes a fully integrated SIR-M secondary monopulse radar with a maximum range up to 250 nautical miles.

So what?

Do you expect a massed air strike from India?
Do you expect to defend a massed air strike from India?
Do you expect a greater threat from air than from sea?
Do you expect that Myanmar is a lesser threat than India?

If this news is true, it is a bone-headed decision, and someone in the Air Force needs to lose his job.

Wouldn't you correct someone whom you desperately wish to see doing well, but who make asses of themselves with mechanical, clockwork regularity?
