Wow.....never knew that.

Care to shed some light into the AESA radars you produce?
The EL/M-2052 is an advanced airborne
active electronically scanned array fire control radar for
fighter aircraft. It is suitable for
F-15,
MiG-29,
Mirage 2000 and
LCA Tejas. The
EL/M-2052 is an advanced Airborne Fire Control Radar (FCR) designed for air superiority and advanced strike missions.
The FCR is based on fully solid-state active phased array technology. This new technology enables the radar to achieve a longer detection range, high mission reliability and a multi-target tracking capability of up to 64 targets. The EL/M-2052 radar incorporates operational feedback from Israeli Air Force combat pilots.
The radar introduces improvements to the
air-to-air, air-to-ground and air-to-sea operation modes of the aircraft. In the air-to-air mode, the radar enables a very long-range multi-target detection and enables several simultaneous weapon deliveries in combat engagements
In
air-to-ground missions, the radar provides very high resolution mapping (SAR), surface moving target detection and tracking over RBM, DBS and SAR maps in addition to A/G ranging. In Air-to-Sea missions the radar provides long-range target detection and tracking, including target classification capabilities (RS, ISAR).
The EL/W-2085 was developed from the single-band
EL/M-2075 "Phalcon" system.
Instead of using a
rotodome, a moving
radar found on some AEW&C aircraft, the EL/W-2085 uses the
active electronically scanned array (AESA), an active
phased array radar. This radar consists of an array of transmit/receive (T/R) modules that allow a beam to be electronically steered, making a physically rotating rotodome unnecessary. AESA radars operate on a pseudorandom set of frequencies and also have very short scanning rates, which makes them difficult to
detect and
jam. Up to 100 targets can be tracked simultaneously to a range of 200 nmi (370 km), while at the same time, over a dozen air-to-air interceptions or air-to-ground attacks can be guided. The radar can be mounted on the side of the aircraft's
fuselage or on the top inside a small dome. Either position gives the radar 360-degree coverage. The phased array allows positions of aircraft on operator screens to be updated every 2–4 seconds, rather than every 20–40 seconds as is the case on the rotodome AWACS.
The
EL/M-2248 MF-STAR is a multifunction
active electronically scanned array naval radar system developed by
IAI Elta for maritime installation on
warships. It is capable of tracking both air and surface targets and providing fire control guidance.MF-STAR is an acronym of Multi-Function Surveillance, Track And Guidance Radar.
The EL/M-2248 MF-STAR is a multifunction solid state
Active electronically scanned array radar developed for a new generation of naval platforms. The radar system is made up of 4 active arrays operating in the
S-band, each of the 4 arrays is positioned in one direction. The radar employs multi-beam and pulse Doppler techniques as-well-as robust
Electronic counter-countermeasures techniques to extract
low radar cross-section targets from complex clutter and
jamming environments. AESA radars provide a
low probability of intercept of emitted signals and help the ships remain stealthy. Weighing only seven tons the system can be installed on smaller vessels of
Corvette size and above.
The MF-STAR is capable of tracking both air and surface targets and can track hundreds of targets simultaneously with a very fast refresh rate. It is capable of providing guidance illumination and mid course updates to both active and semi active
Surface-to-air missiles and
Anti-ship missiles, with multiple simultaneous engagement capability. It is also capable of automatic splash detection and correction for
naval gunnery support.
While targets are tracked at long range threats are automatically recognized at medium range and Automatic track initiation takes place. Sea skimming attacking missile are tracked at >25 km while High flying fighter aircraft are automatically tracked at >250 km.
Overall, EL/M-2248 performance and appearance is similar to
U.S. Navy's
Aegis Combat System and its
AN/SPY-1D radar antenna.
The
EL/M-2133 WindGuard Radar is a four-faced distributed
active electronically scanned array Pulse Doppler radar designed to detect and automatically track Anti-Tank Rockets (ATRs), Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) and Tank Rounds.
The IAI
EL/W-2090 is an
airborne early warning and control (AEW&C)
radar system developed by
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and
Elta Electronics Industries of
Israel. Its primary objective is to provide intelligence to maintain
air superiority and conduct
surveillance. The system is currently in-service with the
Indian Air Force.
It is a development of the
EL/M-2075 system, described by the
Federation of American Scientists as the most advanced AEW&C system in the world, in 1999 and 2008 articles.
The EL/W-2090 is a further development of
EL/M-2075 and
EL/W-2085.
The EL/W-2090 uses the
active electronically scanned array (AESA), an active
phased array radar. This radar consists of an array
transmit/receive (T/R) modules that allow a beam to be electronically steered, making a physically rotating rotodome unnecessary. AESA radars operate on a pseudorandom set of frequencies and also have very short scanning rates, which makes them difficult to
detect and
jam.
