i have a serious question,i'd like to know about the radar systems currently in use by PN and is there any plan to equip PN surface combatant vessels,especially destroyers/frigates with naval AESA radar?
and what are the indigenous radar development of pakistan,please highlight
thanks in advance!
Ok, lets go through what the PN uses, ill start from most modern:
Ada/Jinnah Class frigates:
Thales/Aselsan Smart-S mk2
This is a PESA radar, medium to long range, up to 250km in search mode, up to 150km in defense mode.
Type 054a/p frigates:
Type 382 air search radar- Pulse Doppler array.
Type 344 fire control radar- not very many details available.
Type 345 fire control radar- once again, not many details, likely another pulse Doppler array
Zulfiqar Class:
Type 517 radar- this is a bit iffy as theres a 517M which is aesa. Most likey, its a non AESA radar. However, a very powerful system regardless, its a VHF system with range of 350km for an RCS of 4m2.
Alamgir class:
AN/SPS-55 -Pulse doppler
AN/SPS-49 -Pulse doppler
Tariq Class:
Swiftships 75m corvette:
TBD
Yarmook Class:
TBD
