Rezonans-NE Stealth air target early warning radar
The radar can operate in circular scan mode or within a specified sector. In addition to peacetime tasks, it can provide early warning of an air attack and information support for air and air defence warfare operations. The Rezonans-NE includes up to four radar modules, each of which provides control in the azimuth sector of 90 degrees and can operate independently.
The radar module consists of a transmit antenna-feeder device, receive azimuth and elevation antenna-feeder devices, and a power amplifier. The radar’s data receiving and processing system provides data reception and processing in each of the four modules. Radar equipment is housed in containers. The probing signal generator and radar data receiving and processing equipment are digital and controlled by special processors. A solid power amplifier is used. The radar consisting of the four modules controls the 360-degree sector and occupies a 100 x 100 m area.
The complex is designed for the long-range detection of a wide range of modern air objects. It is also able to classify aircraft created using stealth technology, mini-UAVs and hypersonic devices. The station's capabilities are greatly enhanced by the phased array antenna, in addition, the locator can automatically exchange information with other radars in automatic mode. The range of "Resonance" - 1100 km, is able to provide target designation of air defense systems, located at a distance of 600 km.
A feature of the complex is the absence of rotating antennas in its design: a circular view of the space is conducted by electronic means. This increases the reliability of locators, increases their lifespan and reduces power consumption. The station was built using only Russian components.
Carlo Kopp noted in 2010 that the VHF band Rezonans N/NE, which is explicitly marketed as “Stealth Air Target Early Warning Radar.” Like the Nebo U/UE series, it takes 24 hours to deploy and is intended for static long-range air defense applications. Unlike the Nebo U/UE, it uses electronic beam steering techniques.
Phased antenna array significantly expands the capabilities of the complex, and the locator can automatically exchange data with other radars. The radar station fits on a site measuring 100 by 100 meters. It controls the airspace around in a circular mode, with a 360-degree view. The station is equipped with a friend-or-foe target recognition system and can operate stably both at the lowest and highest air temperatures, with wind speeds up to 50 m / s.
At the same time, the radar is capable of tracking over 500 targets, providing early warning of an air attack and providing information about the air situation to aviation and anti-aircraft defense systems during combat operations.
A feature of the radar complex is the absence of rotating antennas, which are usually used to provide all-round visibility. Here, a circular overview is carried out using electronic means of space control. This significantly reduces the energy supply necessary for the operation of the complex, increases the resource and increases the reliability of the locator. The radar does not lose effectiveness in conditions of electronic counteraction or strong natural interference.
It is important to note that in the coverage area of the radar complex, all aircraft created using the technology to reduce radar visibility are visible. All this is due to the fact that the Resonance-N radar implements the principle of resonant radar to detect a wide class of air targets. The method has been worked out and tested on various mathematical models both in the field and at the test sites, where it is fully justified.
In the export version, Resonance-NE is supplied to other countries of the world. So, the Egyptian Resonance-NE radar tracks the movement of all objects in the airspace not only over Egypt, but also Israel and Syria. According to a number of sources, in 2020 Russia will begin regular deliveries of Resonance-NE to the Middle East.

- detect and track a wide range of air targets at long ranges, including small and stealthy ones;
- automatically determine the location and motion parameters of air targets as well as classify them;
- automatically provide designations to weapon systems;
- generate and send information about the tracked targets for taking operational decisions;
- analyze the ECM situation and automatically adjust to the actual ECM conditions.
