| | Can AWACS detect and track Ground Targets?? [Archive] - Defence Talk Forum (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | June 23rd, 2005, 06:09 AM I've read (in a magazine) that a ground (radar) surveillance capability was considered for the RAAF Wedgetails prior to the design being "locked" in, however the interference caused by the air search radar impeded the capability too much. |
 | | It is not clear whether the PLA acquired the Erieye radar and its associated technology from the Sweden, or developed the radar indigenously. |
 | | As a phased array radar, the system should be capable of ‘spot’ modes as well as wide search modes, which would enable it to be used for electronic intelligence, ground mapping and targeting missions. |
