Are the MAWS based on radar rather than EOP? typically MAWS are UV or IR based sensors, but those look like radar emitters.

It was reported that they all are AESA radar based MAWS.

Yes,they are all based on active radar array.

But won't the active emitting AESA based MAWS give away the position of the Z-10, especially to ground based air defence systems? At least with passive EOP based MAWS it doesn't emit any signals and therefore less prone to being detected by air defence systems?

Detection by ESM is the least of an Attack Helicopter like Z-10's concerns.

You forgot the mm-radar on top,comprare to it those mm-radar based maws are not a problem .

If you fly the helicopter so low, millimeter band radars facing mostly downward won't trigger any detector in far distance. You only need to worry about the MANPADS launchers probably only tens of meters below, while the rotor noise already reveals your location in such a close distance.

Z-10 noise emission is the lowest among all Gunship.

It might be the world's first helicopter which equips AESA radars, including the mast mount one, all around the fuselage.

Oh man, this baby is fully of teeth. Is this the Z-10ME that was talking about? For Pakistani Army?

 

[LKJ86]

A new variant of Z-10 to make maiden flight.
