The AESA radar system is highly resistant to electronic jamming. Radar jamming involves sending out a signal using the same frequency and determining the frequency that the target radar is operating at. Engineers devised a countermeasure to jamming. They used pulsed radar which can alter its frequency with every pulse. This distribution of frequencies over a wide band or within individual pulses makes it much more difficult to jam compared to other types of radar.
X-Band
The heart of the advanced combat control and information system aboard the Ural class destroyers is Type 346B, a dual-band AESA radar. It's similar to Aegis radar. Moreover, the radar is linked to the fire-control system. It is not known how far it can detect AWACS at the moment. It is likely to prove useful, however, against L-band radar and VLO-targets.
In collaboration with the Russian government, the Aesa Agency has developed the new radar. It will also be able track and detect ICBMs in X-Band. This radar's main advantage is its high-definition resolution. It can detect upto 50k targets at once. This makes it even more effective than THAAD radar.
Ku-Band
AESA radar is a type of airborne synthetic aperture radar. It is used for airborne SAR applications. The AESA radar KuBand is a low cost, multifunctional radar that meets the requirements of UAVs. AESA radar has been designed with rapid prototyping in mind. This paper will present its design and build and focus on minimizing its costs.
Ku-Band, unlike traditional radar systems provides high resolution images. Operators can take swift actions to eliminate threat targets. It can also stand sentry alone in a "senseand-warn mission," giving troops more time to seek cover.
AESA radar has a low-frequency sensitivity and can detect targets as close to 50km away. The Russian space program has validated its performance through a variety of studies. However, it is important to improve the design of an AESA-radar in order for it to meet operational requirements. The adaption of an existing pulse Doppler Radar can be a viable option. It can also be used to power the L-band AESA.
MAKS 2009 imagery depicts the basic AESA radio array design. It also shows how they are integrated with the leading edge flap. Each array contains twelve antenna elements. Each quad TR module drives four antenna elements. The array is embedded into the flap's leading edges. Protective material is used to protect the array.
