In China, airborne radar began to be equipped with troops in the 1950s. In the 1960s, it designed and developed its own monopulse system airborne interception radar and bombing radar. In the 1970s, various systems and multifunctional airborne radars were developed, followed by the development of pulse Doppler radar.
With the development of electronic technology and the continuous changes in tactical requirements, airborne radar will further develop in terms of range, target resolution and identification capabilities, anti-interference capabilities, reliability, and maintainability, especially Increase the range of action to meet the requirements for dealing with "stealth" targets. The further development of microelectronics technology and solid-state devices, as well as the widespread application of digital processing technology and microprocessors, will promote the widespread application of airborne phased array radars that simultaneously search and track multiple targets and have simultaneous multi-functions, thereby improving Radar controls the ability to launch weapons and guide a variety of missiles. The miniaturization, automation and adaptive capabilities of airborne radar will also be further improved, and it will develop in the direction of integration, serialization and software.
