Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[LKJ86]

Searching the zdk06 took me to this brochure.. from the info on it, seems like a decent upgrade.

The upgraded radar at a glance:

The ZDK-06 type early-warning aircraft exported by China adopts an active phased array radar antenna. The electronic scanning technology is faster, the radar beam has better directivity, and it has the ability to search the sea and the sea. At the same time, the S-band is used, which can have certain anti-stealth capabilities. The radar has a maximum detection range of 450 kilometers. The effective detection range for fighter-type targets (radar reflection area of 5 square meters, generally Su-27 or F-15) is 280 kilometers, for 1000-ton surface ships, the detection capacity can reach 300 kilometers. Such a radar, horizontally contrasted with the Swedish PS-890 "Ai Li eye" phased array radar, is in a leading position in overall performance.

The ZDK-06 early warning aircraft exported this time is the foreign trade type of Air Police-200. It adopts JY-06 active phased array radar and has the ability to monitor air and sea targets. Such flexible military and trade means will further enhance China's early warning aircraft radar technology.

Modified export version of the KJ-200 AESA balance beam radar.

Maybe there is a new version of KJ-200. (KJ-200B?)

KJ-200

It seems that the 200B does exist.

project ongoing, in works for Y8p AESA.

So, the PAF zdk-03 not upgraded with the JY-06 radar array?

These are not Pakistan's AWACS and don't belong in this thread really

Hi how many types of Array radars are being used by China currently ,One more thing whats the purpose of so many different types ,Are they test buds ?

No, they are for different purposes:

No, they are for different purposes:

Hmmm must be product of different research institutes ,I have a hunch we are going to see common platform soon

What SIGINT aircraft does Pakistan have?

 

[Imran Khan]

Dassault Falcon 20 DA-20 3 units

Beech C-12 Huron also known king air 350ER 2 units

 

[Incog_nito]

Any other option for PAF for AEW&Cs? Other than Chinese & Swedish ones!

Why would you want more AWACS? PAF has 8 currently and will have 11. Only US, Russia, China and Japan have more... Add to that that the swedes have some of the best AWACS on the market and PAF seems satisfied with the sources they have. Besides the only other sources are US (Not gonna happen), Russia (why would you need them for AWACS?), and Israel (dont need to editorialize on this one).

 

[Path-Finder]

I think more SIGINT aircraft are needed

Thats a satellite communication dome.
