One of the most unique technical features of the fifth-generation Su-57 multirole fighter jets is the multi-element dual-band N036 "Belka" airborne radar complex based on at least five active phased array antennas integrated into the nose of the fuselage, as well as the wing leading edges. This was stated by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
The analyst said that the main element of the complex is an airborne radar station (radar) based on an active phased array antenna, each of the 1526 transceiver modules of which is built around a gallium arsenide low-noise microwave transistor and an attenuator. This achieves a high level of noise immunity.
The detection range of targets with an effective reflecting surface (RCS) of 3 m² can reach 400 km, with an RCS of 0.1 m² — 160 km, an RCS of 0.03 m² (equivalent to SCALP-EG cruise missiles) — up to 100 km.
The throughput of the N036 "Belka" reaches 62 simultaneously tracked targets in transit with the possibility of accurate auto-tracking and target designation to R-77-1 missiles for up to 16 air targets.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the jam-resistant kamikaze drone "Boomerang-10" was handed over to the Russian army.
