One of the Unique Technical Features of the Su-57 Revealed: Will Help "See" SCALP-EG Missiles from 100 km Away

The N036 "Belka" radar of the fighter is capable of simultaneously tracking 62 targets

One of the most unique technical features of the fifth-generation Su-57 multirole fighters is the multi-element dual-band airborne radar complex N036 "Belka" based on at least five active phased antenna arrays 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 antenna array, each of the 1526 transmitting and receiving modules of which is built around a gallium arsenide low-noise microwave transistor and attenuator. This achieves a high coefficient 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 automatic tracking and target designation to R-77-1 missiles for up to 16 air targets.
