An analogue of the Russian Corrugal Radar Station (RLS) “Sunflower” is the system of three Radars Surface Wave Radar (SWR) of Raytheon, the constructor of the Research Institute of Detail Radio Communication (Nyidar) Mikhail Skolites reported.
The developer recalled that the foreign radar was “brought to serial supplies. It solves the task of detecting surface and aircraft in the 200-Military Economic Zone.”
According to him, the above-mentioned Raytheon system includes three radars – SWR-503, SWR-610 and SWR-1018, each of which operates in a specific frequency range.
“for each target class is the optimal frequency, also the wavelength should be multiple or coincided with the size of the object detectable. Therefore, American experts made three locators for each class of goals to detect aircraft and ships of different dimensions with a maximum probability,” said Designer.
According to Square, Russian radar “All these tasks decides alone.”
also described the designer on the development of autonomous radar of the Laguna-and “surface wave, capable of detecting surface targets to a range of up to 200 kilometers.
According to him, this development “may be useful when monitoring Putin”. “With its help, you can stop poaching in the region. After all, there is no hard monitoring system, since control with drones, ships or helicopters costs expensive and cannot last around the clock,” said specialist.
In January, The National Interest magazine wrote that low-wing airplanes, in particular, fifth-generation fighters F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, can be detected using a radar operating in the frequency range of centimeter wavelengths. The publication was noted by the low accuracy of determining the location coordinates of a low-interest target like a similar method. According to the magazine, such abilities may have Russian controversial short-wave radars of the near action “Sunflower”.
In October 2019, the General Director of Nyidar Kirill Makarov said that Russia launched a “sunflower” in the Far East, in Caspiani and Baltic.
