South Korea has tested a prototype AESA radar for a multi-role fighter

According to the portal defence-blog.com, South Korean company Hanwha Systems held a public presentation of the prototype AESA radar for the South Korean advanced multipurpose fighter being built.

An active phased array antenna (AESA, active electronically scanned array) is the basis of the advanced fighter radar. The Agency for Defense Development (Agency for Defense Development, ADD) at the Ministry of Defense of South Korea ordered its development by Hanwha Systems to make sure that the domestic industry is able to master this relatively new technology.

As previously reported, the KF-X project was first reported in 2001 year. In 2010, Indonesia joined the project to create a promising fighter - the countries agreed to assemble 200 aircraft (120 units for South Korea, 80 units for Indonesia).

The first prototypes of the KF-X fighters are planned to be created at the beginning of the 2020s, and by the 2026 year, the partner countries are planning to launch their mass production. According to the project description, South Korea and Indonesia plan to develop an aircraft that will surpass fourth-generation fighter aircraft (F-16) in combat capabilities, but will not fully enjoy the stealth capabilities of fifth-generation aircraft (F-35, F-22 ).

The Koreans wanted, and made AFAR for themselves, while something is not heard that Korea would be an advanced country in aviation. And for some reason we don’t bring it to mind.

The years 90 lost will go around for a long time, so in Russia there is no AFAR in the ranks.

therefore, in Russia there is no AFAR in the ranks

On the "Shell" is definitely there and probably somewhere else.

And for a long time we will still dump everything on 90?

How far does it “see”? Is it comparable with western counterparts? Here is what is interesting.

Here is his prototype - ELM-2052 - Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. It will be sent to Israel for testing (and revision if necessary) about which an agreement has been concluded with the ELTA, which is part of the IAI. http://www.iai.co.il/Sip_Storage//FILES/7/41417.p

And what did not add:

- Antenna size: varies according to the dimensions of the carrier aircraft.
- Installation weight: 130-180 kg (depends on the size of the antenna).
- Radiation power: 4-10 kW (depending on the size of the antenna).
- The number of transmitting and receiving modules: up to 1500 (depending on the size of the antenna).
-Number of simultaneously followed targets: up to 64.
- Azimuth viewing area: up to 200 °.
- Target detection range with EPR = 1m2: about 120 nautical miles.
- Instrumental range: about 280 nautical miles.

Interestingly, the manufacturer claims the possibility of installing a radar on the MiG-29 and Su-27/33/35 without significant modifications.

However, one must take it.

I was sure of my colleagues interested in the subject (by reference), thanks!

But what about the T-50 would be without AFAR? The technology is mastered, sort of. Or not?
