in today's world advanced fighter jets
are not only equipped with advanced
weaponry
powerful engines to give them better
performances and so on
but one very important system that is
equipped in every fighters is
radar radars are able to detect
track and identify many targets quickly
at long ranges
and to operate in hostile electronic
warfare environments
few countries are making additional
modern advanced radar to compete with
their competitors
in today's video we'll see which country
tops list in the 10 most powerful radars
starting off at number 10 is the zug mse
this is a russian all-weather multi-mode
airborne radar
developed by niir fasotron for
multi-role combat aircraft such as the
su-27
this radar can distinguish and count
closely flying targets
as well as identifying targets with
known signatures
the zug mfse offers detection
performance
up to 180 kilometers for a 5 square
meter radar cross section
with up to 30 targets tracked and up to
six attacked at once in air-to-air mode
the radar uses a pes-a antenna with a
peak power output of 8 kilowatt with 16
carrier frequencies
this radar can track up to two ground or
c targets
at the same time it can detect a
destroyer size
target at a range of 200 kilometers
at number nine we have the euroradar
captor
this is a mechanical multi-mode pulse
doppler radar designed for the
eurofighter typhoon
captor is an essential component of the
typhoon weapon system
providing air-to-air and air-to-surface
capabilities
beyond the visual range it can detect
identify
prioritize and engage airborne threats
the captor will provide navigation as
well as detection and
engagement of both moving and stationary
surface
targets while delivering precision
guided weapons in air-to-surface mode
its maximum detection range is 120
kilometers
and the future radar to be equipped in
the typhoon will be the captor e
which is the upgraded version of the
captor
number eight on the list for the top 10
most powerful radars in the world today
is the phthalus rbe2 double a radar
system
this is based on the rbe2 radar from the
rafale
the rbe2 double a is reported to deliver
a greater detection range of 200
kilometers
improve reliability and reduce
maintenance demands over the preceding
radar
the rbe2 double a radar system uses
an active electronically scanning array
with about 838 transmit receive
modules in gallium arsenide technology
it replaces mechanically steered array
antennas
with electronically steered array
antennas controlled by
thousands of transmit or received
modules allowing for maximum performance
versatility and reliability
at number seven we have the am apg-79
active electronically scanned array
radar which is a new development for the
u.s navy's boeing f-a-18 ef super hornet
that provides a high level of
situational awareness to the aircrew
raytheon integrated defense systems is
the prime contractor
while northrop grumman is responsible
for the design and construction of the
x-band phased array antenna
the radar has a range of 150 kilometers
against a target of one meter square
the apg-79 is compatible with current
fa-18 weapon loads and allows air crews
to fire the aim-120 amrwam
while simultaneously guiding multiple
missiles to targets that are widely
separated in azimuth elevation or range
up next at number six is the ana bg80
now this is an active electronically
scanned array system
designed and manufactured by northrop
grumman for use on the lockheed martin
f6 in ef fighting falcon fighter
aircraft
the a pg-80 system is known as an agile
beam system
for its ability to perform air-to-air
search and track
air-to-ground targeting and terrain
following functions for
multiple targets at the same time it
consists about 1 000 transmitter modules
its maximum detection range for a 1
meter square target
is more than 110 kilometers and for 5
meter
square target is more than 165
kilometers
whereas for a 10 meter square target is
more than 195 kilometers
moving on to number five we have the
apg-63
v3 radar which is a more modern variant
of the apg-63 v2
which applies the same aesa technology
utilized in
raytheon's apg-79 the v3 is currently
being retrofitted into f-15cd
and deployed in singapore's new f-15sg
aircraft and saudi arabia's f-15sa
aircraft
it provides f-15 pilots with powerful
adaptable radar technology
proven performance and tactical
flexibility
this all-weather multi-mode radar
provides superior situational awareness
multi-role capability long-term support
and
simple future growth opportunities its
maximum detection range is 180
kilometers
at number four is the zaslan m
the zenslan m is a multi-mode upgrade of
the zaslan phase array antenna radar
developed by kr82 corporation for the
mig-31bm aircraft
it is also a modernized version of the
mig-31 interceptor
the zeiss lone m differs from the
original zazlon radar
in firstly having a larger antenna
increased to 1.4 meters in diameter
and an increased detection range of 400
kilometers for
20 meter square radar cross-section it
can detect a fighter
aircraft at a range of 320 kilometers
with the ability to engage them at a
distance of 280 kilometers
it enables the use of air-to-air
missiles smart bombs and
anti-radiation missiles at number three
we have the herbicide this is a russian
multi-mode hybrid passive electronically
scanned array radar system
developed by tikimorov and double ip
the herbies en035 is used for the su-35
while the no36 is used for the su-57
fighter
urban e can detect and track up to 30
airborne targets at one time
at ranges near 350 to 400 kilometers
and attack up to eight in an
air-to-surface mode
the airbus-e provides mapping allowing
to attack
four surface targets with
precision-guided weapons
while scanning the horizon searching for
airborne threats that can be engaged
using active radar homing missiles
it can detect a target with radar
cross-section three square meter at up
to 400 kilometers
while a target with rcs 0.01 square
meter at up to 90 kilometers
at number two is the a and apg-77v1
this is a multi-function low probability
of interceptor radar
installed on the f-22 raptor fighter
aircraft developed by northrop grumman
the apg-77 provides 120 degree field of
view in azimuth and elevation
it has a maximum detection range of 210
kilometers against a one square meter
target
a range of 400 kilometers or more with
the apg-77 v1 with newer gas modules
is believed to be possible while using
more narrow beams
the a and apg-77 system itself exhibits
a very low radar cross-section
supporting the f-22 stealthy design this
radar offers an unparalleled level of
stealth in air-to-air combat
allowing the pilot to track and shoot at
several threat aircraft
before the opponent's radar identifies
the f-22 raptor
much of the technology developed for the
apg-77
is being used in the apg-81 radar for
the f-35 lightning 2.
it is a successor to the f-22 radar
the a and apg-81 radar is a hybrid of
the apg-77
and apg-80 aesa radar systems for the f
a-22
and f-16ef respectively it includes
long-range active and passive air-to-air
and air-to-ground modes that enable a
wide range of air-to-air
and air-to-surface operations as well as
considerable electronic warfare
and intelligence surveillance and
reconnaissance capabilities
in air-to-air combat the radar helps the
pilot to detect
track identify and kill numerous threat
aircraft before the opponent notices the
f35
by doing so it allows for a first view
first shot and first kill
the apg-81 has 1 000 that can monitor
aerial targets as well as moving targets
on the ground
at a range of 150 kilometers the air
surveillance mode may identify an
airborne target with one square meter
radar cross-section
furthermore it can monitor 23 targets in
9 seconds and engage
19 of them in 2.4 seconds
