THE SYSTEM
Based on AESA technology, KRONOS LAND has a detection
volume that is extremely wide in elevation, and extended in
range and altitude. The system consists of:
•
The AESA antenna, with electronic scanning independently
and simultaneously both in azimuth and elevation.
This offers a variable dwell time and data rate without
changing the mechanical antenna rotation rate (60rpm).
•
The real-time radar processor that includes a scheduler
and threat evaluation function. Depending on the
assessed threat level, any detected target is tracked with
one of the following refresh rates while rotating at 60rpm:
-
HPT (High Priority Tracking) with an update period of 1
second
-
LPT (Low Priority Tracking) with an update period of 4
seconds
-
The processor assures continuity of track
management through dedicated waveforms for
dynamic adaptation to the operational scenario
•
Command, Control & Communication, based on two
internal C2 consoles that allow operators to control the
local air and tactical picture, assigning threats to weapon
systems (medium, short and very short missile or artillery
systems).
