Superior Detection Performance
Superior long-range detection of any air targets including those manufactured
according to STEALTH technology is achieved due to clever integration of
advanced factors, such as operation in metric wave band of radiated frequencies,
repositioning of antenna radiation pattern in elevation, state-of-the-art
components, compression of received signals, high resolution and power
potential, automatic local rejection of active and passive jamming, efficient
rejection of echo-signals from underlying surface, immunity from meteorological
clutter, rejection of low-velocity targets, high accuracy coordinates determination,
automatic gain control of receiving channels and constant false-alarm rate
processing.
High Mobility and Operation from Unprepared Sites
The NEBO-SV Radar antennas and equipment are mounted on trucks and
trailers allowing their deployment onto unprepared sites without any support
means and weight lifting devices. Complete deployment of the Radar takes
not more than 45 minutes. Independent power supply and high cross-country
capacity of URAL triple-drive six-wheelers provide deployment of the Radar
in hard-to-access areas and ensure freedom of selecting site.
High System Availability and Reliability
Built-in continuous automatic performance monitoring, fault finding
and fault isolation equipment makes Radar system highly available and reduces
the need for complicated test-and-measuring instruments and tools. Use
of the state-of-the-art components as well as duplication of the Radar
main systems combine to ensure entire system reliable operation within
its service life, as well as easy maintenance and repairs.
Efficient Rejection of Natural and Man-Made Interference
The Radar incorporates efficient systems of:
- ground and meteorological clutter rejection,
- operator-programmed transmitter frequencies,
- automatic transmitter frequency agility (within
15 % of bandwidth) adaptive to environmental interference,
- programmable transmitter frequency agility in
azimuth,
- rejection of ghost echoes received by side lobes
under conditions of excessive reflections to improve resolution in azimuth
(Control of Side Lobes Blanking-CSLB),
- automatic rejection of active jamming received
by side lobes and major lobe of Radar radiation pattern,
- constant false alarm rate level,
- MTI with low velocity target rejection.
Enhanced Radar Performance
The Radar onboard computer simultaneously processes 256 air targets
displayed on the Radar indicators and support digital data interchange
with automated AD control centers. Built-in autonomous IFF system interrogates
air targets "Friend or Foe" and displays the data on PPIs'.
Interference direction finding system permits Radar operators to evaluate
the environmental factor and take appropriate decisions.
A Radar environmental simulator is intended for training of personnel,
evaluation of Radar performance and maintenance. Data are displayed on
the PPIs in graphical and alphanumeric form.
High survivability of the Radar system and its crew is ensured by the
air-conditioning system; sensor-operated fire extinguishing system; NBC
protection systems.
