    Can't say I do... However, I assume that the system is much more reliant upon the separate radar systems, and hence this TELAR-based radar system isn't very crucial.... If you can find the specifications of the *overall system*, than you will know how ell it can perform.... That being said, you might be better off looking for a technical (manufacturer?) page on the TELAR to find out.

    As you know it's different for, let's say, nonexportable variants and Antej-2500.

    But for export-grade S-300V variants, all I have heard is that it has a 10 kW to 12 kW CW illumination power. I think it would be X-band. The antenna looks like twist-polarization, folded aperture. There are two additional horn antennas—purpose unknown to me. I don't think the antenna plays a missile uplink role, for a number of reasons.

    scratch Oh, now I think the horn antennas may provide the illumination reference signals for the missile variants with semiactive/TVM guidance.

    The reference signal bit I mentioned is quite "obvious" (?) from the following pictures, especially from the first picture which shows the 9P83.

    The waveguides with the cooling fins are the high-power waveguides that are at least involved in transmitting. It seems that the two high-power waveguides come off a splitter, with one going to the feed for the high-gain dish antenna, to generate the narrow illumination beam, and the other going to a horn to generate a wide reference beam.

    The waveguide without fins should be for communication with the missile. dunno

    There are lots of questions that can be asked, and some more answers that can be given.

    S-300V Army SAM System - Page 6 V7mlLPz

    S-300V Army SAM System - Page 6 5ViXAAv

    With respect to the number of guidance channels per illuminator, each illuminator should be able to guide multiple missiles of the semiactive/TVM guidance type against one target during the terminal phase of their trajectories.

    With respect to other guidance types and the time-sharing of the illumination beam for multiple targets obvious conclusions can be made.

    Another calculation result is that for a 2 m diameter illuminator antenna diameter (just eyeballing it), and assuming a frequency of 10 GHz (X-band is between 8 GHz and 12 GHz), the real-beam beamwidth would be around 0.018 rad = 1°.

    Which antenna ? 10-12 Kw seems too high, it might be the average power of the 9S32 Radar, not the illuminator.

    For illuminator i think it's a simple cassegrainian antenna with much lower power perhaps 1-2 Kw at most (as it don't need to detect anything nor countering the fourth root law) For the two waveguide antenna, i think it's yes the "uplink" Antenna to send reference signal and possibly to send mid course for GAI (S-300V use GAI-Ground Aided Inertial, not TVM or SAGG as Patriot or S-300) While other horn antenna is hmm i wonder what for.

    its an 100% illuminator and i got new confirmation

    The 9A84 and 9A85 TEL/Transloader vehicles are similar to the 9A82 and 9A83 TELARs, but lack the X-band illuminator antenna employed for missile terminal guidance.  
    +
    9A83 TELAR in deployed configuration. This image shows the elevating illuminator mast to effect. The design is intended to improve low altitude coverage, which is not a requirement for the longer ranging 9M82 missile
    http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-S-300V-TELAR-TL.html
    +
    another source
    The 9A82 and 9A83 TELARs each include high power CW illuminators for missile guidance and command uplinks, and also provide these guidance functions for the 9A84 and 9A85 TEL/Transloaders, which operate as slave TELs in the battery
    http://militaryrussia.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=15136


    another source cleared some info about the range of the illuminator , apparently it have 108 km range against 10m2 targets and around 72 km against 1m2 target

    Read my second post.

    Also regarding the TVM, S-300V has many different missile types.

    I did, pretty much agree with those two feedhorns there. Anyway S-300V only have two kinds of missiles, the 9M82 and 9M83, they shared common seekers so the guidance scheme must be the same.

    Stealthflanker,

    An illuminator doesn't have a "range"; it is an illuminator plus a semiactive seeker combination that has a "range".

    What ?  Isn't it already obvious.

    The S-300V used by PVO-Army use only two kinds of missile, the 9M83 and 9M82 Now perhaps 9M82M and 9M83M is being fielded but that's it There are only two kinds of missile for S-300V. We are talking about S-300V here NOT S-300P family which have plethora of missiles from 5V55, 48N6 to 9M96 family.

    Or perhaps you can show me what other missile used by S-300V family ?

    Then i believe you fully aware that S-300V only use two kinds of missiles, the 9M83 and 9M82.

    My copy of Rosoboronexport catalogue listed only two kinds of missiles provided for S-300V system. Now If there's any more than that Would you kindly provide your source ?

    Or if literature is needed anyway then i have this :

    http://pvo.guns.ru/s300v/s300v.htm

    " Каждый ЗРК включал в себя:

    многоканальную станцию наведения ракет 9С32;
    пусковые установки двух типов (9А83 - с четырьмя ЗУР 9М83 и 9А82 - с двумя ЗУР 9М82);
    пускозаряжающие установки (ПЗУ) двух типов (9А85 - для работы с ПУ 9А83 и ЗУР 9М83 и 9А84 - для работы с ПУ 9А82 и ЗУР 9М82), а также средства технического обеспечения и обслуживания.

    Ракеты 9М82 и 9М83 эксплуатировались, соответственно, в транспортно-пусковых контейнерах (ТПК) 9Я238 и 9Я240."

    I think it's quite obvious there that there are only two kinds of missiles for S-300V system.




    Do i mention anywhere about Illuminator range ?

    You didn't? Read your post.

    A semiactive seeker doesn't have a "range" either; as I said before, it is an illuminator plus a semiactive seeker combination that has a "range", and that's what the chart is claiming to portray.

    I was trying to explain to the other guy i quote that the figure didn't cite about "Illuminator range" But the seeker. But yes perhaps i should be more clear by adding illuminator combination as it's the source of the power.

    In my view however passive seeker do have "range" Figure
