Just curious if smart-s is going to be on pn Turkish vessels than why not 054a/p as turkey is producing it locally and exporting it as well

SR2410C 3D Multifunctional Radar
SR2410C 3D multifunctional radar is a modular, highly reliable, countermeasure-resistant, medium-range air and surface surveillance system.
The Beijing-based China Shipbuilding and Offshore International Company (CSOC) promoted SR2410C, a new phased array radar at the LIMA 2017 exhibition.
According to the Chinese language news cjdby, the radar is a fully coherent three-dimensional phased array S-band radar capable of fully automatic detection, track initiation, and classification of various types of targets. Even under severe clutter conditions encountered in the littoral, it detects and tracks with a particular emphasis on small, fast and low-flying aircraft, missiles, hovering helicopters and asymmetric threats. This ensures minimal operator workload and maximises operational effectiveness analogous to the Thales SMART-S MK2 radar.
The radar’s anti-jamming capabilities include resistance to narrowband and broadband active jamming. Other electronic countermeasures include constant false alarm mode, digital pulse compression plus it has a low side lobe.
Richard Fisher, vice president of the Washington-based International Assessment and Strategy Center said that the radar is clearly designed to add another layer of medium and point surveillance defence capability for surface ships.
According to the CSOC brochure, the radar can track up to 150 targets per rotation. Limitations include air targets over Mach 3 and at ranges of more than 150km. The radar has a fire control capability to track missiles, but only at a maximum range of 60km. It is also capable of tracking moving ground vehicles and surface ships. It is capable to complete the task of identifying friend and foes.
The radar can be mounted on a vehicle or a littoral combat ship such as type 056 Corvette. The radar has been installed on Bangladesh Navy’s type 056 Corvette – BNS Shongram and BNS Prottasha. The SR2410C radar is fully compatible with shipboard missile systems such as FM-3000.
