KEY SENSORS AND SYSTEMS

摘要

The F-22's upgraded multi-mode AESA radar was fitted as original equipment to all Block 30 and Block 35 aircraft. It was capable of interleaving the situational awareness provided by air-to-air search, multi-target tracking, weather mapping and air-to-ground modes and side arrays, even before Increment 3.1 enhanced its capability. Its highly directional radar reduces the probability of interception. It is reported to be capable of detecting a im2 (10.76 sq ft) radar cross section target at a range of approximately 109 nautical miles (200km). A fighter-sized target can reportedly be detected at 125- 150nm (231-277km), over twice the range of the F-15C's original APC-63.
