The Smolensk Center for Radio-Electronic Systems "Zavant" has developed a new small-sized radar station (RLS) without antenna rotation. The system performs circular scanning of space and detects air, ground, and surface targets.
Andrey Kalugin, Deputy General Director of Zavant, noted that the new product is the only one in the class of small-sized radar stations for detecting small-sized air, ground, and surface targets.
All radar stations produced in the world, at least those known to us, are RLS with a flat phased array antenna. They can statically scan the airspace at a certain limited angle, or they will be forced to have a rotating element.
Kalugin added that the prototype station returned to the center for repairs from the combat zone.
Earlier, inventor Dmitry Lytkin from Tver developed a new guidance system for unmanned interceptors with elements of artificial intelligence. The technology allows UAVs to automatically target an aerial object based on radar data.
