Israel launched the world's most advanced "FELCON" airborne early warning radar and command and control system. Its main features are as follows.
Far detection distance, strong identification capability. Israel developed the "FELCON" airborne early warning system using phased array technology, its EL/M-2075 phased array radar operating frequency selected in the L-band (40 ~ 60 GHz), between the S-band and the VHF band, the fighter, attack aircraft detection distance of 370 kilometers, the detection distance for the 5 square meters target aircraft detection distance of 360 kilometers, the helicopter detection distance of 180 kilometers, the use of unique cutting-edge technology can be found stealth aircraft and cruise missiles.
Multi-target tracking and fast response time. "FELCON" early warning radar system can be in the normal all-round search at the same time on the focus of the target to implement the "full tracking", can track at least 50 to 60 targets at the same time, can simultaneously guide hundreds of aircraft for air combat, and to ensure that tracking the target's sustained ability and Tracking accuracy. "FELCON" for high-threat areas with 2~3 seconds interval intensive scanning to increase the beam stay to detect long-distance targets, if the system to 15 seconds / times the search, the detection distance can be increased by 30%, once the target is found, can be within 0.1 seconds to control the beam back to the direction of the target, and when to determine the real target location quickly issued an Alarm.
Good anti-jamming and strong survivability. Israel for the "Faircomb" early warning radar system selected by the main aircraft platforms are the United States Boeing 707 (or 767), Russia's IL-76, Europe's A310 transport aircraft and so on. Russia's A-501 early warning aircraft equipped with Israel's "Faircomb" early warning control system, flight altitude of 10,200 to 5,000 kilometers, cruising speed of 600 kilometers / hour, usually only in the local airspace or enemy airspace, air-to-air missiles are difficult to attack the safety of the flight area. The aircraft radar using frequency shortcut, multi-frequency work and other anti-jamming measures, equipped with infrared, laser countermeasures and self-defense jammers, chaff drop machine, the carrier's radio and electronic systems have a very strong signal to counter enemy interference.A-50I AWACS is equipped with NPK-T aircraft control and navigation subsystems can be day and night in all kinds of weather and different flight altitudes to perform the task.
The A-50I AWACS is very reliable and highly effective. "The FELCON phased array radar's transmitter-receiver system uses a solidified transmitter-receiver (T/R) module, which radiates and receives signals through independent T/R units with fixed margins, so that the failure of a few units (the 184 T/R units in the aircraft) will have only a minor impact on the system's performance, rather than a complete failure. "FELCOM" system can be said to be "six eyes and ears", by virtue of "standing high, see far" can monitor the battlefield area of 150 × 180 kilometers, can be a fast-changing The battlefield situation to make a timely response, quickly direct their own air defense interceptors to meet the war and command ground artillery to meet the attack, greatly improving the combat effectiveness. It is estimated that a "FELCON" airborne early warning and command and control system is equivalent to 8~10 high-power ground radar stations, which can save the strength of 2~3 ground alert radar regiments, and the effectiveness of the air defense system can be increased by 15~30 times, and the number of intercepted and downed enemy planes can be increased by 35~150%, and the number of rear attacked by the enemy can be reduced by 15~55%, and the number of air attacks can be reduced by 15~55%. The number of enemy planes intercepted and shot down can be increased by 35~150%, the number of enemy air attacks on the rear can be reduced by 15~55%, and the number of air defense interceptors can be reduced by nearly 70% under the condition of maintaining the same air defense capability.
