PNS-SAIF participates in operation 'Chinook Archer'

Pakistan Navy ships are regularly deployed for PN’s initiative of Regional Maritime Security Patrol to ensure maritime security in Indian Ocean Region. In addition, as part of CTF-150, PNS SAIF participated in Focused Operation CHINOOK ARCHER along with ships and aircrafts of United States and Canada.

The exercise was aimed at impacting narcotic smuggling trade along the hash highway to the East of Oman.

Under the realm of Focused Operation, PNS SAIF participated in the Passage Exercise with US naval ship USS LABOON and Canadian ship HMCS CALGARY. The aim of the exercise was primarily to demonstrate interoperability between participating navies and interdict illegal smuggling/ trade emanating along the hash highway.

Pakistan Navy promotes peace and stability in the region and has remained committed to maritime security and order at sea. Participation of PN in such internationally organized Focused Operation is a manifestation of PN's resolve in curtailing terrorism at sea in all forms.

PN Ships being flag bearers of Pakistan continue to remain poised at sea in an effort to curb menace of illegal smuggling/ narco trafficking so as to ensure safe regional trade corridors for maritime community

Aamir bhai i take it its some sort of radar ?

Sir it surely is a radome for a higher powered radar

 

[Aamir Hussain]

To me it seems to be a Type 364 Radar It is expected to be used primarily for CIWS (Type 730, Type 630, HQ-10) targeting with secondary air search and SSM targeting abilities.

Considering where it is position; lower down and without a clear view of the horizon forward and aft, would it most like be a dome over a satellite communication system, rather then a radar. If it were a long range radar, I would expect to find it in place of the yagi radar.

It seems to be in a similar position, lower and just after if the funnel as on this cruise ship

Satcomm system cant be this big

I hope your right, the ship needs a longer range radar to maximize its targeting capabilities.

Sir, If I may be allowed to disagree. It's location and perfect spherical shape says other wise.
IMHO it is an ELINT sensor.
As always, open to correction.
Kind Regards

Sir, the one next to it, colored white, flat at the bottom, mounted on a single pole, is the Satcom antenna.

Thanks for the correction. I think your right that it is a piece of ELINT equipment.
