TR Sensors and Detector Programs

He just don't want to hear that turkish products are high tech and quality

I was trying to make guesstimate about F-35s RCS. And F-35s RCS has to do with its own capability, not with the high quality of Turkish products. ( which is another matter )

But it seems you didn't comprehend.

And I literally said in my post about ERIS,
"It is an excellent radar with cutting age GaN based dual axis AESA technology."

But clearly, you had to miss that sentence.

0.0015 in X-band if I recall correctly. With concentration on an arc, it gives almost 120 km even with that RCS. But as you said, detecting it and directing a Siper missile to it are two different things. Hopefully the people who made EIRS put some thought in how to use the FCR better as well.

For a system like Siper, directing it to a target is a lot easier than older systems like the S-400. Siper missiles don't need radio guidance nor do they need the target to be illuminated by a FCR. The target status can also be updated while the missile is en-route. Effectively, once the target is detected by EIRS, if it's in the engagement envelope of the Siper it can be brought to bear on it.

Seems like it uses EİRS to guide the missile in this video/test

Few things to add,
There is nothing secret with EIRS range for 1m^2 at 470, it is a common practice for X - S and L bands range to be given for 1m^2 (hence the simplicity of using it for logarithmic calculations or using the relations for radar range estimation) for K, 0.1m^2 is preferred.


The RCS is given for SISO case, where T/R is more like a point. Telling this for a reason, EIRS full potential will be revealed later. (MIMO, multi-static, bi-static, pyas just dropping the keywords)

EIRS can be fully integrated into HAKIM, or coupled with other radars in vicinity to update the image, exchange tracking data, identification. One Kalkan-II operatint in LPI mode or a PYAS may detect a target and help EIRS to track it with precision at a range that it won't be possible to track.

Etc. Etc. This is not my branch but i got to learn a bit during the studies for survivability.

Wow, TF-2000 will be an air defence beast. Or İstif with Siper B2 (as per İbrahim Sünnetçi, it will be able to use them in quadpack config.)

 

[zio]

We should made kalkan II an GaN based aesa and called it kalkan III

I still doubt quadpacked siper b2 based on the information i had regarding to the dimensions, either he knows something i don't or he mixes b1 with b2, or the person who told him had mixed up b1 with b2. Nonetheless, Siper b1 (hisar-rf with booster or ex Hisar-U) will be quadpacked and b2 will be single packed.

Will it retain the range?

B1? Yes it should, but there are priorities; a fully operational MILDAS, quadpackable Hisar-RF.

It can but depending on target behaviour it's not necessary like it is for older systems. Siper can go to a target area by itself and try to acquire the target independently. Midcourse guidance can tell the missile when the target changes vector, since the missile can't seen the target until it's close enough to acquire it itself. Or it can be used to select a specific target when multiple targets are close together, or to switch to a different target, etc.

Aselsan radar roadmap with radar names but I can't read a lot of them. The source is defenceturk.net.

Zoomed in pictures.

[Osman]

What is national hybrid air defence system?

 

[TheInsider]

What is national hybrid air defence system?

I don't know, no info is released currently, I can only speculate.

 

[Osman]

A low altitude system containing both laser, anti aircraft artillery and sam maybe?

 

[Oublious]

What is national hybrid air defence system?

hybride seeker what Roketsan is working on, RF and IIR seeker i think.

 

[Afif]

hybride seeker what Roketsan is working on, RF and IIR seeker i think.

I think that is for cruise missiles. ( like Atmaca block ii, Cakir )

But the one Aselsan is developing, is for Ballistic missile interceptor. ( which much more critical and sophisticated ) It would be probably similar to David sling.
@TheInsider

 

[TheInsider]

Yes, Aselsan is developing a hybrid seeker for air defense missiles while Roketsan is developing a hybrid seeker for cruise missiles.

I learned that the Hybrid Air Defense system is a short-range air defense system consisting of a high-powered laser, radar, jammer, ESM, DIRCM, etc.. It will be able to provide protection against UAVs, mortars, and rockets at short range like a CIWS it will be a product similar to the US counterparts but tailored for our needs.

Could be a new E/O for mufahız/smash or Göker-D's E/O unit. The arrangement is similar of the E/O shown on top of Göker-D.
Nothing is confirmed about Göker-D as of now, but it is expected to be used on one platform.

We found the culprit, this belongs to one of the designs revealed recently.
