eyrie cannot be compared with phalcons...phalcons r way to advanced than eyries.eyries r suitable for small airforces.phalcons can easily jam the elctronics of eyrie and make it isolate from its ground based radars and PAF aircrafts.then it will be an easy target for IAF fighters.
Ericsson ERIEYE SAAB 2000
Thursday, 05 October 2006
The Saab 2000 regional transport turboprop aircraft was developed by Saab Aircraft of Linköping, Sweden. The aircraft first flew in March 1992, and Swiss became a first launch customer. Production of the aircraft seized in 1999, with around 60 Saab 2000 aircrafts operational world wide, but the limited production started again for Pakistan Air Force with the requirement of up to seven aircrafts equipped with Ericsson Erieye PS-890 side looking active phased-array pulse-Doppler radar.
The aircrafts maximum cruise speed capability is around 370 KTAS (knots true airspeed), 685km/h and the maximum range is 2,868km. Saab 2000 allows operators in high speed performance to interchange fleet timetables with fighter aircrafts on 500nm routes. The aircraft is capable of reaching its destination to over 1,000nm in a flight time of three hours.
ERIEYE
ERIEYE is the first high-performance, long-range Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) system based on active phased-array pulse-Doppler radar.
This new-generation system is installed on Saab 2000 turboprop aircraft. It meets full AEW&C requirements for detecting and tracking targets at ranges of up to 450 km over land or water.
ERIEYE is a complete AEW&C system, including radar (with integrated SSR/IFF), electronic support measures, communications and data links, comprehensive command-and-control facilities and self-protection system.
The ERIEYE radar, with its fixed electronically scanned antenna and use of adaptive radar control techniques, has superior resolution accuracy. When compared to traditional rotodome-based solutions, it provides enhanced detection and tracking performance, including the active simultaneous tracking of multiple targets. In addition, the radar offers significantly improved resistance to electronic countermeasures (ECM).
State-of-the-art command-and-control system gives the on-board mission-system crew full capability for AEW&C roles as well as maximum flexibility for other peacetime and war missions. ERIEYE is fully interoperable with and easily integrated into NATO Air Defense Command Systems.
Flight Desk
Saab 2000 aircraft is equipped with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite with integrated avionics processor (IAP), a traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS) and an engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS). The flight control systems include an attitude heading and reference system (AHRS) and a digital air data system (DADS).
Design
SAAB 2000 aircraft design is based on Saab 340, but with a longer fuselage and larger wing.

Engine
Two Rolls-Royce Allison AE 2100A turboprop engines power the aircraft, each engine rate at 3,096kW and fitted with Lucas Aerospace full authority digital engine control (FADEC). The engine cowlings are manufactured by Westland and Hispano-Suiza.
There is a total usable capacity of 5,300 liters by two integral fuel tanks installed in the outer wing. The fuel system is fitted with an over wing gravity refueling station in each wing and one pressure refueling station in the starboard wing.
The Dowty six-bladed propellers, type R381, are constant speed propellers with auto-feathering and reverse pitch. The blades are fitted with electrical de-icing.
i think know you can change your mind that phalcon not better then erieye
