In Britain, moving to a new stage in the development of a new generation of GaN radar for fighter jets

British defense company BAE Systems announces the transition to a new stage in the development of promising radar for fighter jets. This is a new generation of radars, which, as planned, will combine the technology of electronic warfare (EW) and communications.

Representatives of the research laboratory of the aforementioned company report that a semiconductor technology based on gallium nitride (GaN) with a millimeter range for use in new generation radars is being carefully studied and phased.



BAE Systems is promoting millimeter-wave gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology for the implementation of next-generation radar systems - electronic warfare and communications. These GaN radars are planned to be used in promising means. aviation, including fighters, which theoretically belong to the 6th generation of the Air Force.

The combination of GaN used makes it possible to provide a relatively wide spectrum of frequencies with high information transfer efficiency. One of the main advantages that British researchers are talking about is the small size of the transmitting and receiving devices in comparison with those that are in operation today. At the same time, the power of the output signal remains high.

Gallium nitride is said to reduce the cost of creating a high-performance radar.

Chris Rappa, Director of Radar Product Range:

The GaN program provides the basis for the development of advanced technologies that could lead to the emergence of new critical technologies for the next generation of fighter aircraft.

It is noted that such work is carried out both in the interests of Britain and in the interests of the United States "taking into account American technological experience."

Previously, the creation of a new radar based on gallium nitride was announced in the American Raytheon. In this case, the radar is created for advanced air defense systems, which are designed to replace the Patriot air defense system.

      I agree ... we have been using gallium nitride on sapphire for a long time ... I suspect that for the same purpose ... surprisingly, the technology of epitaxial growth of gallium nitride was developed by the group of Zhores Alferov. And in Taiwan, it was these guys who launched the technology. LEDs ...

        35 years ago, physicists from the Institute of Physics and Technology of the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences already dabbled in epitaxial films on gallium arsenide, and what has become so attractive about nitride?

          and than nitride has become so attractive now


          Eeeee - well, in particular - the band gap increased relative to silicon, which provides an increased upper working temperature of the crystal.

          As you know, the conductivity of the "intrinsic" (ie completely pure - absolutely free of impurities) semiconductor is proportional to
          e "to the power" (- "bandgap" / 2kT)
          - So, its own semiconductor-silicon - becomes practically a "conductor" already at 150 degrees Celsius, and accordingly, the limiting temperature of the crystal - cannot be higher than 150 degrees. And given the thermal resistance of the semiconductor device case - the maximum temperature of the operating environment for silicon devices - does not exceed 125 degrees.
          - Whereas devices based on gallium nitride - it is quite possible to operate at 200 degrees Celsius. And considering that the heat transfer rate is proportional to the temperature difference between the refrigerator (the external environment of operation of the device) and the heater (semiconductor device) - with the same dimensions of the device and the same operating conditions, the gallium nitride device can dissipate almost twice as much power.

          - for which they fought ...

        May I answer?
        Gallium nitride works at higher temperatures than arsenide, and the thermal conductivity of sapphire on which it is grown is quite decent. And in other properties - not inferior. Accordingly, the power of the module can be raised, with the same dimensions. Strong. More than two times.

              Yeah, and where is the result? So far, the introduction of AFAR is not even based on GaN technology, but at least on GaAs, there are big problems. Strong dependence on the foreign component base and complete reluctance to develop their own. One example, albeit an indirect one: in the Russian Federation for over 20 years there have been (and probably still are) preferences for foreign manufacturers of aircraft. This led to the half-dead state of our civil aviation manufacturers. Or here is the desire to make SSJ purely in cooperation with foreigners, which led to the current stagnant position of this ship. It’s somehow impossible to push it to EBN, and so it is everywhere, in general everywhere.
              You suggest me to believe that everything is different with GaN technology? Well, I do not. Faith is to fools.

                        There is nothing reliable in open sources on this topic (our AFAR). From the word ALL. Information as it was closed, so now it is even more closed ... "Mikran" works on GaAs technology, and many others on GaN ... And there are NO and cannot be imported components - it has long been banned for use. The replacement was hard, but you can't argue against the instruction. And what do you have against the "Superjet"? They have already made 200 pieces!
                        Not a small park at all. His problems are service, they are being solved, and they will be solved soon completely. The French with the engine also drove the brachocks along the "hot part" ... The Permians resisted, corrected ...

                        I have nothing against the Superjet, except for a claim to the approach to its implementation - initially they could put everything in their own way and there would be no problems with the same service, which pretty much hung up including on import. And cooperation with foreigners did not justify itself (IMHO) since the board turned out to be like a child of seven nannies and the project itself was dragged out purely by the efforts of the Sukhoi Design Bureau. The officials of the Russian Federation have some kind of servility to all Westerners, which I personally would have treated with healing shots.

                        As for the production of AFAR, my skepticism will weaken only when AFAR will be massively put on both air defense systems and aircraft. As long as there is a Beetle-A for the MiG-35 which more and more resembles that stewardess and confusion with the Squirrel, since the deadlines for the implementation of the Su-57 program creep to the right all the time and it is not clear from what. An indicator of the affairs in the field of AFAR is also what Indians want to modernize the Su-30 AFAR, while ours only crumple in response, although this market is huge and must be taken at any cost. Yes, the Indians are still ... dancers, I don’t argue, but anyway.

                        Does it occur to you that AFAR is secret? Well, not everything can be "sold" for export! Even what is on our Su-35 and MiG-35 is deeply secret. The AFAR plant has already been built. So it's not as bad as it sounds. Have you heard a lot in the open press about "Vanguards", "Zircons" and "Daggers" ...? And avionics are an even more secret thing ...

                        This is rather stupid, because if there was an AFAR, it would be possible to leave a few weaknesses in it, and sell a couple of back-doors to the Indians in export guise - the proceeds would completely cover R&D and other costs and give money for new development.

                        This secrecy demonstrates two things: 1. There can be nothing and no, and the best way to cover up your bare ass is to keep it secret. 2. Even if there is something, then they have the feeling that there is nothing, while for Western intelligence all this secrecy is like a fig leaf in one place. As for the Vanguard, Zircon and Dagger, they obviously are, otherwise they would not have been advertised so eagerly. A dagger is a shallow alteration of Iskander. I believe that Zircon is, but as for AFAR, I doubt it and only my series will dispel my doubts.

            The topic is too complex, worthy of special discussion ...... a question of personal perception.
            The power of the Russian Empire, its victory and defeat, is also not so easy to appreciate.
            But, one has to proceed from the fact that nothing so simple happens.

      The concept of the West is too vague. There are too many of these countries which are called "west". And not all of them have everything exactly the same. What technologies do you mean exactly? Are those based on Korean chips and assembled in Chinese factories? Or on discoveries in theoretical science, where Russia is also making a contribution? On Intel or Mykosoft, are there any Russian developers there? Or Chinese or Hindus?

    In Britain, moving to a new stage in the development of a new generation of GaN radar for fighter jets
    GaN radar does not exist. There is a Multifunction Phased Array Radar - a multifunctional phased array radar. And the introduction of GaN in the manufacture of semiconductor devices instead of LDMOS or Si-Bipolar Transistors can significantly reduce the overall and weight parameters of the equipment and increase the energy characteristics, which is necessary to create a compact MPAR that can be placed on an airplane.
    In the photo there are modules of a similar purpose. On the right - "traditional technologies", on the left - based on GaN.

            In fact, you are wrong, all countries are engaged in the creation of ROFARs, just everywhere it is called differently and has a different design, but the method is the same. It is like an aircraft of the "helicopter" class, which uses the "skew of the blades" method for its horizontal movement, and the "swashplate of the blades" itself can have a cloud of different specific implementations. Likewise, ROFARs have one method, and it consists in using several channels with different electromagnetic spectra in them, so as to minimize their influence on each other. Well, the complexity of ROFARs lies in the production of sensor blocks consisting of many different materials with different behavior under the same conditions. Actually, that's why you don't see "ROFAR-radar" because sensor units are created and tested in laboratories and some "full-scale" tests are unnecessary for them and even harmful because, unlike "test stands", the test cycles are not identical there.

            Well, if you have read and did not understand the text above, I will explain it using the example of a helicopter, in other countries an aircraft using the "skewed blades" movement method is called the name of a specific "swashplate", and not "helicopter".
