韩国授予本土沿海监视雷达批量生产合同

韩国国防采购计划管理局(DAPA)

与国防系统公司LIG Nex1签订了1640亿韩元(1.454亿美元)的合同

大规模生产本土开发的海上监视雷达II。

该机构在5月14日的声明中宣布,

沿海监视雷达将由大韩民国海军(RoKN)沿韩国海岸线以及在岛屿上部署,以覆盖“所有海域”。

该系统具有“改进的检测能力”

与目前使用的老化的沿海雷达相比,更高的分辨率提供了更精确的船舶和飞机方向和距离确定,DAPA表示。

新雷达的开发,

它的规模也比服役的要小,该项目始于LIG Nex1在2015年发起的一项价值约316亿韩元的项目。

shows that the system features a rotating parabolic antenna reflector with a feedhorn support boom setup.

The system is housed in a radome and mounted atop a personnel-accessible pedestal.

The radome, which is meant as a protective cover,

will enable the radar to operate without interruption even amid strong winds and during typhoons.

Moreover, being resistant to heat and shock,

system resilience will be improved and power consumption reduced, compared with existing equipment, said DAPA.
