China's radars can be found in Zhuangcheng or Ladakh. They are used to detect and monitor India's aerial activities. Chinese radars play a vital role in China's national air defence capability.
A variety of long-range radars have been developed by the Chinese military, including the Pband radar. This radar operates at frequencies ranging from 250 MHz to 500 MHz and can detect targets up to 5,500 kilometers away. This radar is part China’s latest generation network information system. It is designed to intercept incoming missiles as quickly and efficiently as possible. In addition, the radar is also designed to support the missile early warning satellite.
The P band radar is used to detect missiles or aircraft. It can detect targets up to 5500km away. The radar has exceptional wind resistance and anticlutter properties. The radar can run at speeds of up 35 m/s. This radar has been exported to countries outside of its intended use. This radar is actually already installed in China's naval formations and at least one system has been reported as being designed to target US Navy aircraft carriers.
YLC-8B, a mobile high altitude 3D surveillance radar, is available. The radar uses digital technology to track and detect aircraft and missiles over long distances. The radar was created for PLA deployment. It was first revealed at the China Air Show (November 2014). This radar uses two-dimensional active phased arrangement technology and mechanical scanning to detect multiple aircraft and missiles at once.
The massive L-band radar is designed to detect targets at a distance of more than 600 kilometers. It is similar to the Thales TRS-2230 and ITT-Gilfillan 320. CRIA includes the radar in China's 2004 listing of indigenous products. This radar is also used by the Luyang II class destroyers. This system also incorporates adaptive MTI and CFAR technologies. The radar can also use civilian radio frequency modulated signals which can increase the radar's viability.
China operates additional radars in addition to those mentioned above. These radars include groundwave (also known OTH/B or Over-the-horizon Radar), Frescan system, and backscatter. Different bands of radars are used, so they can complement one another. China also operates various types of airborne radar early warning and control aircraft. These aircraft are capable of expanding China's radar coverage into other countries. Some Chinese SAM-systems of the next generation can engage stealth technology, such radars or electronic countermeasures.
China operates the long-range P-band phased array radar for airborne early warning and control. This radar, which is part China's latest generation of military network intelligence systems, is designed to intercept strategic missiles. This radar can detect strategic missiles quickly and has a broad detection range. China has recently deployed surface search radars in the Sirjap, which is located just ahead of the PLA navy station. China also constructed an infrastructure facility in Demchok and a watchtower.
