What it really mean is that a target BECAME 3 m2 at 130 km distance from the seeking radar.Sir the Most latest source for KLJ-7 confirms that it can detect a 3m2 target at 130km.
Can you calculate us at what range it would detect a 5m2 rcs target?
What it really mean is that a target BECAME 3 m2 at 130 km distance from the seeking radar.
At one point, a body was 1 m2 at -- say 200 km for a rounded figure. Could any radar system discriminate this body from background ? Most systems would answer: No.
Then as the seeking radar and this body approaches each other, at 130 km, the body was perceived to be 3 m2, and the system flagged it as a 'target', meaning this level of intensity was enough for the system to discriminate against background.
Let me put it another way...This radar system was designed to call 'target' only when a body is perceived to be 3 m2 within a certain frequency band, generally the X band. The distance is not important because a B-52 will be 3 m2 at greater than 130 km while an F-22 will be 3 m2 at 10 km.
Can a system declare 'target' at 2 m2 regardless of distance ? Yes, depending on sophistication of hardware and software.
Except for the sphere, no body, no matter how complex, have a fixed RCS value. So the phrasing: '...can detect a 3m2 target at 130km.' is technically incorrect.
I know how frustrating it can be for interested laymen who seeks definitive answers. I have seen the frustration about the RCS subject in my trainees many many years ago when I was in aviation. But once you understand that the RCS figure is a variable, or BECOME a certain figure, based upon distance, you will see that most of these publicly available figures, and the way they are phrased, are suspect.

During his presentation JF-17 Chief designer discussed the future upgrades showing IFR, etc. I was not able to ID the component in the attached screenshot. Can someone identify what this is?
My hunch is towards IRST.

@gambit and others: Is a dual seat Jf-17(trainer) on cards?
This is just a concept. It can be made, by increasing the length of the fuselage, but no immediate plans, since the usual aim of dual seaters is for training of the crew, which in this case is sufficed using the simulators.
