ELECTRONIC WARFARE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PARIS AIR SHOW

摘要

In mid-June, France hosted the 53rd International Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, where several companies discussed their latest EW developments. Hensol-dt's new TwInvis passive radar, launched at the ILA Berlin Air Show in 2018, will be ready for shipment with the first serial production units by the end of the year 2019, company officials disclosed to JED. According to Martin Russ, sales director for naval and ground systems at Hensoldt, a single TwInvis passive radar is able to process an air surveillance picture for a range of up to 250 km and an altitude of 45,000 ft. For wider areas, it's possible to cluster more radar sensors. One sensor can simultaneously process 16 FM analogue radio and 5 DAB digital radio transmitters as well as 5 DVB-T digital TV networks. Providing permanent 360-degrees in protection, TwInvis radars are able to provide 3-dimensional tracking of aircraft with a very high track update rate of 0.5 seconds, allowing for the detection of high dynamic maneuvering fighters, as well.
