Radar

The CAPTOR Radar has been developed by the Euroradar consortium and is the best performing type of its class.

The multi-mode pulse-Doppler Radar is the first airborne Radar in NATO with three as opposed to two processing channels. The third channel is used in a jamming scenario for sidelobe nulling, interference blanking and jammer classification.

The Radar provides Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface features.

Main Air-to-Air features:

• Search Modes - Range While Search (RWS), Velocity Search (VS) and multiple target Track While Scan (TWS)
• Lock-Follow Modes, which are tailored for long range tracking and short range tracking for use in visual identification or gun attacks
• Air Combat Acquisition Modes allowing a choice of boresight, vertical scan HUD field of view or slaved acquisition

Main Air-to-Surface features:

• Search Modes - Ground Map, High Resolution Map, Ground Moving Target Identification and Sea Surface Search and Track While Scan
• Track Modes - Fixed Target Track and Moving Target Track
• Air-to-Surface Ranging
• Terrain Avoidance
