Belarus is developing a new short-range radar station "Kalina", designed to detect and automatically guide weapons to drones and other stealthy aerial targets. The development of the promising three-coordinate radar is being carried out by OAO "ALEVKURP".
The new radar will be able to automatically track aerial objects and transmit data for guiding weapons – from anti-aircraft machine gun and cannon mounts to guided missiles. The station will measure the range to the target, azimuth, elevation angle, as well as the object's movement parameters in real time.
One of the key features of the complex is its low radar signature. This is planned to be achieved through minimal radiation power. To protect against passive interference and false reflections, the developers use their own digital signal processing algorithms.
"Kalina" will be able to operate both autonomously and as part of an air defense system, transmitting information to control points of various levels. The station's integration with various platforms, including Belarusian armored vehicles, is also envisioned.
Earlier, "Perviy Tekhnicheskiy" reported that the Belarusian enterprise OAO "ALEVKURP" upgraded Soviet S-125 air defense systems located in Cuba to the "Pechora-2BM" version.
