Originally a fire control radar, the AESA architecture (

MTBF) of the new radar, allows it to be also used in continuously rotating volume-search mode
The air-defense umbrella created, with simultaneous launches, is more than many destroyers

Just at lower quantity per ship

There is high confidence now, that the new radar is the naval variant of 3rd Khordad's X-band AESA
- We can see the small LPI missile up-link antennas
- 3rd Khordad was tested for sea condition beam stabilization (photo)
- IRIN's S-band AESA is the larger Eagle-Eye radar
