TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[I_Love_F16]

How over 1100 tr modulr in akinci and hurjet ?? Tejas mk1a with currrnt israeli radar has less than 800 and with uttam gan it will be around 900.

How turkish people able to fit so many or utd wrong info ?? As even rafale has less than 1k tr module

Murad F16 AESA

• 1152 TRM GaN module
• 20W each modules with 30W(?)peak power (defenceturkey)
• Liquid cooling

APG-83 (open source info)

• 1020 TRM GaAs modules
• 10W each modules with 10kW peak power
• Liquid cooling

RBE2 AESA (open source info)

• 830 TRM GaAs modules
• 10W each modules with 8kW peak power
• Liquid cooling

According to Hepdert and Cabatli_TR posts #1421, it was the CEO of Aselsan who mentioned the number of modules back in 2023.

Any chance to get the number?

I believe that Eurofighter has 1400+ TRM's. If KAAN has a wider nosecone, I guess it could hold more.

All sources quote “unconfirmed” figures.
Unless a person is working at Aselsan on BURFIS or he is the GM of Tusas or President of SSB, no one can truly tell you the exact number.

All unconfirmed sources state “thousands” of modules for BURFIS.
Also almost 2000 modules for MURAD-600A and around 4000 modules including Murad-600A, cheek plates, wings and rear facing modules.

This is a sensitive information that will probably never come out until plane is sold abroad. Even then, export and domestic versions may be different.

 

[IC3M@N FX]

Wasn't there talk of installing the radar modules on both wings and the tail as well?

The Uttam AESA radar utilizes roughly 900–992 Gallium Nitride modules. This is a number optimised specifically for the limited nose cone space and power availability of the Tejas MK1A. That is still a very good number of modules.
Module count alone is not the defining factor. It is how the electronics are designed that also affect the performance.
Both Hurjet,KE, f16 and Akinci have nose cones to accommodate 1152 modules of the Murad100 radar.

The info is not wrong. The nose cones are big enough for the numbers in question. Rafale has a small nose cone. Hence the smaller number of modules (838 modules).
KAAN is a big plane and has a large nose cone to accommodate approximately 2000 modules for the MURAD-600A Aesa radar of the BURFIS System. Whether it will really have this many is yet to be seen. But the cone size would allow it. Hence the unconfirmed count we have in hand.

1152 modules for the MURAD-100A were apparently confirmed. Also it was confirmed that the MURAD-600A would have “more” modules.

To add to @Spitfire9 ’s comments about Typhoon’s radar; I remember reading that the 1400module count is for ECRSMK0 and the module count for ECRSMK2 is approximately 1626.
With it’s moving plate and advanced design it is claimed to be currently the most advanced Aesa radar in the West.
