Another one built in China

U.S, Russia, China they built such stuffs only prepare for anti-ICBMs in next WWIII.

I guess this is the NEW ICBM early warning radar located in Shandong or Liaoning province, read previously the similar shape ICBM early warning radar and other types (over the horizon type; rotational type) were allegedly located in Heilongjiang, Fujian, Zhejiang, in southern region, in SW region, in some unspecified coastal location, so this one is just the X-th installation in China... it's said that China has the 2nd largest installation of the ICBM early warning system in the world after the USA (two- to three-year-old info)

Missile: the Chinese early warning radar is finally revealed

By Henri Kenhmann - East Pendulum - 09 October 2017

China has revealed what looks like its new dedicated warning radar defence missile, installed at the mountain top in the Shandong province, in a public exhibition in Beijing.

This huge electronic scanning radar measuring 30 meters in diameter was inaugurated on September 27, 2016, without a drum or trumpet, but in the presence of several senior officials of the Chinese Air Force (PLAAF) as well as the representatives of the builder NRIET and an anti-missile early warning unit.

We had talked about this inauguration in the case of "Anti-missile: the first operational early warning radar" last year and gave some technical details of this early-warning radar in "OTH, GBR... These very long-range Chinese radar".

The inscription on the image indicates that this radar being operated by the PLAAF is in fact operating in the P-band, a frequency range (from 225 to 390 MHz) also used by the PAVE PAWS radar of the American Army.

The image also confirms that the surface of the radar is cut into many submatrices, as specified in the research papers by NRIET Institute.

The 10,000 Transmit/Receive (T/R) modules are installed on 60 submatrices of 2 meters × 7.5 meters and form a circle 30 meters in diameter. This reduces the difficulty of designing, manufacturing and above all installing the radar. The latter requires, for example, that the flatness of the sub-matrices is ≤ 3.8 mm, in accordance with the decimetric wavelength of the radar.

More than 1,000 power sources are necessary for proper functioning of the system. NRIET reports indicate that the heat density of each transistor reaches "several tens of W/cm²", which requires the implementation of a large liquid cooling network.

No data on the scope of the radar has been released while it can usually reach as far as 4,000 km, if not more, for this kind of device.

But in simulation studies published by the Academy of Air and Missile Defence, an institution that trains specialized officers of the Chinese Air Force, the most effective range is 2,000 km that most often stands for what they call the 'GBR-P' (Ground-Based Radar, P-band), coupled with 800 to 3,500 km of over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) and 1,000 km of X-band fire (GBR-X).

The aim of the set is to detect, track, identify and then provide targeted firing solutions (missile heads in general) of a RES of 0.2 m² from the Guam area in the Pacific Ocean.

Given that China already has an OTHR oriented towards this direction, and that the GBR-P is now in operation, it is believed that the construction of the Chinese last anti-missile link towards the Pacific, GBR-X missile system would already be underway.

The supposed coverage of Chinese radar

It should be noted that the shape of the "modules" of this Chinese early warning radar seems to be very similar to that of the JY-26, a three-dimensional surveillance radar operating in P-band and designed by Institute No. 38 of the CETC group.

The JY-26 round "cover" is not a T/R module, but serves to protect the dipoles located below and also to facilitate air cooling.

These dipoles forming a cross are capable of emitting right-handed, left-handed or directional polarized waves, which improves the detection of targets with low observability, according to the manufacturer.

At the Zhuhai Air Show, technical experts from CETC, the parent company of NRIET, also indicated that the Chinese version of JY-26 deployed in Shandong, with double the modules and four times more power (> 100 kW) compared to the export version, has already followed the movement of the American F-22 flying over the Korean Peninsula.

Interestingly, just read about @Martian2 post about the USA's gigantic PAVE PAWS radar installed in Taiwan:

An example of an obliging US client is Taiwan.

Do you see the gigantic PAVE PAWS radar (see picture below) on a formerly beautiful Taiwanese mountain?

The final cost was US$1.4 billion. It went way over the original estimate. By the way, it is a US-controlled radar. It is guarded by US soldiers. No Taiwanese work inside the PAVE PAWS radar and Taiwan does not have access to the radar data gathered.

See how the game is played? Taiwan provides the land for the PAVE PAWS radar. Taiwan pays a fortune for it. And it is a US military facility that is off-limits to Taiwanese military personnel.

Taiwan plays its role as envisioned by the United States. In return, Taiwan is rewarded with participation in the US Global Entry program. Eligible Taiwanese don't have to wait in long lines for an immigration check to enter the United States. Eligible Taiwanese head into the express lane past US Customs.

Britain, however, "Jane's defense weekly" website reported that in 2015, has been touted as Taiwan media "can be found on flight 3000 kilometers of golf" American "pave PAWS" radar is put into use in Taiwan for a year, has become "the eyes of the blind, the decoration". The reason is that the mainland in the opposite of fujian HuiAn deployed for "pave PAWS" interference of a large phased array radar, the distance is only 240 kilometers, almost equivalent to "cheek to cheek. The interference wave from the phased array radar launch of China's 21st century technology has made the "pavement claw" radar of the only 1970s technology level "no way to escape", and has lost the ability to spy on the continental air.

然而，英国《简氏防务周刊》网站2015年报道称，曾被台湾媒体吹嘘为“能够发现3000公里上飞行的高尔夫球”的美国“铺路爪”雷达在台湾投入使用一年，却成了“瞎子的眼睛——摆设”。原因在于大陆在与之隔海相望的福建惠安部署了针对“铺路爪”进行干扰的一部大型相控阵雷达，两者距离仅240公里，几乎相当于“脸贴脸”。中国21世纪技术水平的相控阵雷达发射的干扰波使仅有70年代技术水平的“铺路爪”雷达“无路可逃”，丧失了窥探大陆空情的能力。
