The radar system of Russia’s new Tupolev Tu-214R reconnaissance aircraft is capable of seeing facilities hidden or camouflaged below the snow, the tree-tops and even under the ground, a representative for the United Instrument-Making Corporation said on Monday.
Vega Group Presented Air-Based Mini Radar
At the MAKS-2019 airshow, designers of Vega presented the synthetic aperture radar RSA 0.1. The company’s representatives told Mil.Press Today that the distinctive features of the radar were its weight/dimensions characteristics: the compact transceiver weighs only 9.6 kg, and the antenna tips the scale at 1.2 kg.
The radar is designed to receive high-precision radar images of ground and sea surface objects in different weather conditions. The product relates to the side-scan radars.
Mikhail Kaplin, an engineer at Vega assures that the radar’s small size do not affect the scanning accuracy.
"Its resolution is 0.1 meter. That means if the distance between two objects is more than 10 cm, we can classify them as different assets even from 20 kilometers", explained the engineer.
