Beijing firm accused of selling knockoff of Israeli AESA radar

[samlove]

A listed Chinese company is being accused of trying to sell a knockoff version of an advanced Israeli airborne fire-control radar, according to a report from Defense News, a US-based media outlet.

Beijing’s NAV Technology Company has reportedly claimed in a product catalogue that its active electronic scanned array (AESA) radar incorporates “decades of field-proven experience” from Elta Systems, a subsidiary of the state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). In the mid-2000s, IAI was embroiled in controversy after it canceled a radar deal with China due to strong opposition from the US government.

The AESA radar being promoted by the Chinese company is believed to be Elta’s EL/M-2052, given that the product descriptions in NAV’s catalogue — such as advanced multimode capabilities for precision, long-range attack of multiple air, sea and moving ground targets — are “nearly identical” to Elta’s marketing data, the report said.

Israel’s Ministry of Defence on Monday denied any knowledge of NAV or the radar it was selling, though a spokesperson declined to answer whether IAI has ever been licensed to market Elta radars to China. However, an IAI spokesperson has denied any association between Elta and NAV “or any other Chinese firm,” the report said.

“We don’t have a clue as to why they wrote this in their brochure, but it is completely not true,” the spokesperson said in a written reply.

Defense News suggests that NAV may be guilty of manufacturing imitations of foreign arms technology, noting that the company’s catalog says it is willing to “reverse engineer” a US-made inertial navigation system, and that it is also selling a glide bomb that appears identical in appearance and specifications to the GBU-39 made by Boeing.

According to the website of China’s nationalistic tabloid Global Times, NAV is a company registered in Beijing’s Zhongguancun Science Park. Its areas of expertise are “communications, navigation and modern signal processing.”

The Israelis supplied EL/M-2032s to China in the early 1990s which was developed into the Type 1473). The tracking and engagement figures for the Type 1473 are provided by Sinodefense. Eventually Chinese Radar Development was Started 1990.Nanjing have also reportedly drawn on the Galileo Avionica/Finmeccanica Grifo and the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Elta-2032 in developing their own radar designs and Developed into The KLJ-7 Fire Control Radar (FCR) Series.

The israelis were willing to sell the phalcon system to the Chinese before the Americans pressurized them otherwise

Brilliant. Now isn't that the Tejas radar?

You got to love the Chinese. They have a huge economy. So huge, that they are the biggest traders with most countries. They know nobody is going to cut trade relations and they leverage it to the max.

We, on the other hand, will sit and discuss on issuing tender, select vendor, cancel tender, new tender, select vendor, time lapse contract, extend pay more money, new condition, negotiate....and then new technology and cancel tender and contract.

That's bcz u don't deserve high tech stuff but only cheap knock off begging small countries like Israel ....how do you think you could make HQ 7 based on Crotale.

Really? HQ-7 is outdated and it is licensed produced from France. We have HQ-16 more advanced version.

And our HQ-16 is using a unique multi launch VLS system which I dont think Russia has and no where to copy from. People who claimed they are copy are just getting emotional over their jealousy of superiority of Chinese technology.

Type054A frigate firing HQ-16

Type054A fire ASROC

Can you advise me which system this copy from? Russian or American?

Russia has never produced a multi launch VLS for naval system where same module is able to fire different weapon. While American MK41 VLS is totally different from this system with different sizes and not too mention, it can never fire Shtil or HQ-16 missile.

isn't AESA radar the latest tech? Why would China be selling it if they are using this on their current ships/ fighters. This article makes no sense.
