Electronic jamming is extremely difficult to disable AESA radar systems. Normally, radar jamming is accomplished by determining the frequency of a target radar and sending out a signal with the same frequency. Engineers have found a way to combat jamming using pulsed radar. This pulsed radar can alter its frequency with each pulse. Jamming radars made of other types of radar is more difficult because the frequencies are distributed over a wider band or within single pulses.
X-Band
The Ural class destroyers are equipped with Type 346B AESA dual-band radar complex Type 346B. This is the heartbeat of the advanced combat intelligence and control system. It is very similar to the Aegis radar. The radar is also connected to the fire-control systems. Currently, it is unclear how far it can detect AWACS. It is likely to prove useful, however, against L-band radar and VLO-targets.
The new radar has been developed by the Aesa Agency (AESA) in conjunction with the Russian government. It will also be able track and detect ICBMs in X-Band. The main advantage of this radar is its high-definition resolution. It can detect up to 50,000 targets at a time. It is more efficient than the THAAD radar.
Ku-Band
AESA radar is a type of airborne synthetic aperture radar. It's used for SAR airborne applications. The AESA radio Ku-Band radar is a low-cost, multifunction radar specifically designed for UAVs. AESA radar is designed for rapid prototyping. This paper presents its design and construction and focuses on minimizing its cost.
Unlike traditional radar systems, the Ku-Band provides high-resolution images. This enables operators to take quick actions to defeat threat targets. It can also stand sentry by itself in a "sense-and-warn" mission, giving troops time to find cover.
AESA radar can also detect targets within 50km of its base frequency. It has been tested in numerous studies and validated by Russia's space program. To meet operational requirements, however, the design and construction of an AESA Radar must be improved. An adaptable pulse Doppler radar is an option. It can also serve as an L-band AESA.
MAKS 2009 imagery shows the basic AESA radar array design, as well as how they fit into the leading edge flap structure. Each array contains twelve antenna elements. Three quad TR modules each drive four antenna elements. The array is embedded into the flap's leading edges. Protective material is used to protect the array.
