THANKS for clarifications. I saw 3D CAR / Rohini at an AFB recently. I thought PIT - Poland closed down and LRDE bought all the rights / software etc.Karan M wrote:Kersi, Rohini is a derivative of 3D-CAR with some extra local tech and modifications for the surveillance role and the other is a Naval version with a newer antenna specifically meant for the Navy, extra stabilization plus signal processing mods for detecting low flying sea skimming missiles. 3D-CAR was a JV between LRDE and PIT of Poland and both went their own way with their own derivatives. DRDO ended up replacing the antenna, beamformer, put in its own TWT and signal processing, hence its radars today are quite different below the hood, vs the Polish versions.

Re: Radar - Specs & Discussions
Is Rohini associated with any specific SAM ? I guess it will be a surveillance radar at each AFB and major industrial / defence installations
Re: Radar - Specs & Discussions
The equivalent would be ADTCR. However with AESA, you can have multi-function and the latest from Khan is multi-band AESA.
So technically DRDO could create common radar across the SAMs.

Re: Radar - Specs & Discussions
Dual/Multiband AESAs aren't a new concept (The Ford carrier has one). What is new is the sharing of apertures, operating at different bands of the spectrum within the same antenna. Lockheed has done that with the ARES which can operate at both S band and C band and Northrop has now done it with its airborne radar that can operate in both the X and Ku bands. IIRC Raytheon has also worked on a seeker for the US Army that operates in both the C and X bands.

No BSR, just CAR and Rajendra. The low cost BSR option was never exercised and AF/IA went with CAR itself.Gyan wrote:Akash Radar System uses three radars

Well, LLTR is a one to one replacement of the CAR with an AESA antenna. So unless range is substantially increased in Akash (to 70km class and above), I dont see why Arudhra a heavy MPR will be used. Instead, a new AESA version of the Rajendra or a new radar like the MFCR on the QRSAM wont be developed as the FCR for the Akash NG.Karan, can you indicate what would AESA equivalents of these radars perhaps for Akash NG or 1S?
My Guess:-
BEL MPR ARUDHARA
BEL LLTR
ADTCR
ADTCR is not replacing the 3D CAR in IA roles but acting as a supplement for the flights with Reporter/ Flycatcher, giving them a 90km range reach, while a substantial improvement, we should remember its a high mobility, reduced footprint version (2 vehicles vs 3 of the CAR) and hence it has but half the range. For a proper Akash ++ sized ranged SAM, the IA would want a radar of corresponding performance, hence I think it will be the LLTR as the medium range version (it exists and is prepackaged in the same footprint as the existing CAR).
And hence, for the Rajendra a replacement system may be developed, a derivative or perhaps a much more compact new system.
This is my surmise.
Re: Radar - Specs & Discussions
Yes. We need a single vehicle mobile AESA radar as a follow on of Rajendra. Perhaps using half panel of ADTCR to replace PESA panel of Rajendra. Almost like MMSR which has been cancelled or perhaps Like TAR which was downsized version of CAR.

Re: Radar - Specs & Discussions
Is it necessary that if there is a Rohini radar, there must be a Akash SAM battery very nearby to it ? I do not think so. Rohini may be used just for surveillance. For example I saw this Rohini radar at one place but could not see anything remotely associated with Akash SAM.Karan M wrote:Rohini is a derivative of the 3D CAR which is the surveillance radar for Akash batteries.Kersi wrote:Is Rohini associated with any specific SAM ?

IAF has ordered some 29 Rohinis for surveillance and 8 3D CARS for 8 Akash squadrons - its likely the entire order is Rohini, with the Rohini replacing the 3D CAR for the Akash as it is a more advanced variant in some respects. As of 2017, some 37 had been delivered.

All said & done, they will never give details of target RCS on these.This OTH radar
The 29B6, or “Container,” radio system consists of two physically separated parts-- the transmitter and receiver. The receiver is located in the town of Kovylkino, while the transmitter is some 300 km to the north. It uses “mathematical-algorithmic software” to process complex data about a target’s location and trajectory.
(Uses ionosphere to best use)
Container can detect hypersonic missiles at the same range of 3,000 km.

Indian Air Forces seeks locally developed hyperspectral imaging system
25 February 2019
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has commissioned the indigenous development of a hyperspectral imaging system for an estimated INR130 million (USD1.83 million) to monitor 'suspicious movement' under dense foliage domestically and along the country's borders.
Official sources told Jane's on 25 February that the IAF had tasked local research and educational institutions to develop this capability by 2021-22. They said the hyperspectral imaging system would capture data and images via optical and infrared sensors mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles and other aerial platforms that would be swiftly processed via deep learning algorithms.
This, in turn, would enable the IAF to pass on data identifying the exact location and numbers of 'unwanted' humans present in forested regions to the security forces on the ground in order to deal with the threat.

Re: Radar - Specs & Discussions
This is an old article and other more recent CEW info is available here in the various threads. Essentially, what the article is getting at in a round about way is the growth/evolution from Adaptive Electronic Warfare techniques, where you have the ability to, in real-time, adapt your electronic warfare and attack based on threat characteristics, towards using machine learning to find the right EA technique to counter the threat and to catalog both the threat emission and the response so that it is easily transferable (real time transmission is the eventual goal) so that multiple aircraft could contribute towards this effort and a repository is available that documents the changing nature of the same waveforms so that past experiences can be applied to generating new responses to evolving waveform using onboard processing and ML. Basically, instead of evolving and adapting your techniques (based on threat performance) within a fixed, programmed boundary you are able to develop new jamming techniques and waveforms in real time using ML.
CEW is essentially the next step in Adaptive EW. Think of a Software Defined Radio that replaces analog parts with digital components that provided several functions. An SDR can switch between large number of pre-programmed waveforms . CEW attempts to make these systems non reliant on pre-programmed waveforms but provide them the ability to create new waveforms, based on observed threat system performance, on the fly...So combining adaptive and cognitive EW abilities with very powerful software-defined Electronic Attack payloads, such as the Next Generation Jammer (essentially a wideband 80kW SDR), gets you far more capability against both radar and communication systems that can rapidly adapt and generate new, previously unseen, techniques.
DARPA had two programs that rapidly matured this capability (ARC - Adaptive Radar Countermeasures, and BLADE - Behavioral Learning for Adaptive EW) and both the USN and USAF have their own programs that build on top of that. The focus was not just on your traditional radars and air defense systems; A major focus was on digital communication and data-link networks the ones that are so often assumed to be un-jammable.
I believe one of the USN efforts (REAM) will transition to in service EA-18G Growlers later this year, so having that on the F-35 or the B-2 for that matter isn't that far fetched since BAE systems, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Maritin have been deeply involved with the almost all the DARPA and USN/USAF efforts. We just won't know the full extent of the EW capabilities on both of those platforms till much later but the B-2 DMS is likely going to be the most sophisticated EW system the US has ever put on an aircraft and its iterations are also likely headed to the B-21.

I saw that Abhijeet Iyer Mitra's video posted on Rafale thread the other day... Sadly, it is being widely shared on Twitter & FB...
Most of his claims about the Su30 sounded ridiculous (500km range etc.)... But I got a doubt about one particular claim...
-
Do SPJs block own radars of a Fighter Jet...???
His claim is that Israeli ELTA jammers on Su30s were not integrated with the Russian Bars radar... So, the Bars radar was getting jammed by own SPJ...
-
I have two questions regarding this... Can anyone answer...???--->
-
1) Is integration of Radar with SPJ required...???
My Mango understanding of ECM is that flight's RWR receives an adversary's radar signal and accordingly SPJ sends out delayed reflections which confuses the enemy's radar... But since a flight's own radar is directed towards the front of the aircraft, it won't be detected by RWR...
Anyways, I still feel integration of Radar and SPJ is required so as not to take any chances...
-
2) Is Israeli SPJ not talking to Bars radar in Su30 as claimed by him...?
I believe both would have been integrated with eachother... Otherwise, IAF won't be operating them all these years...
-
Can anyone provide the correct answers...
Anyways, I heard ELTAs are being replaced by indigenous HBJs... Let's hope for the best...

Re: Radar - Specs & Discussions
Yes it does. There was a comment by avm during the rafale hearing, where he says the radar needs to be off while using the jammer.
Radar receiver are tuned to receive certain frequency. Given the radar will be the nearest to the onboard jammer, it will be effected.
Having said that it is all about frequency. Jammer meant for bvr will pump out ku band, these will not effect the radar.
Only the ones pumping out X band. A reason why we r going with Israel radar and jammer combo for lca.

With AESA radar Uttam coming up well, it may be fitted to Tejas IOC/FOC/Mk1A/MWF/whatever. Which other fighter jet in IAF can we fit Uttam? May be Mig 29, M2K, Su 30MKI. If Uttam can fit in Tejas, it should be no difficulty to fit in other jets. How much of a testing effort is needed for the IAF to see if Uttam mated to Mig 29, M2K, Su 30MKI offers superior performance vs their respective current radars?

Its not just about adding a radar. You need the right electrical system to run a high power set at full capability. Then, you need to account for the weight distribution. The Bars is 650 odd kg, can't just rip it out and add a new radar. Then come the EMI/EMC tests etc, and the work on the jammer/RWR interaction, integration with WCS/Mission computer.
