But it is an AESA radar so you can allocate a fixed or dynamic ratio of modules for scan vs illumination and have an overall larger multi purpose radar than have multiple small ones. The rest is programming.X-band CFR yes, i have stated this earlier too and that's what many X-band MFR do. However we are speaking about an air-defence destroyer here and better spare those modules for keeping an eye on the sky - horizon - near surface than pulsing a data for each missile. That was the purpose of AYR.
