The road-mobile JY-26 “Skywatch-U” 3-D long-range air surveillance radar “boasts double stealth target detection virtues thanks to operation in UHF [ultra high frequency] band and owning of large power-aperture product” for both air breathing targets and tactical missiles. The range of the UHF radar is not cited on the brochure, but other details are, including electronic counter-countermeasures and a complex digital active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar capable of tracking 500 targets, according to the World Defense Videos..
The range of the UHF radar is not cited on the brochure, but other details are, including electronic counter-countermeasures and a complex digital active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar capable of tracking 500 targets. An unusual feature is the bubble surface of the radar that act as transmit/receive modules (TRM).
Chinese anti-stealth technology includes passive radars that can track all types of aircraft through low-frequency radio waves such as transmitters used for television, FM radio and cell phones without the pilots knowledge.
Apart from passive radars, China’s conventional JY-27A air surveillance and guidance radar is also said to be a world-leading state-of-the-art meter wave band 3D long range air surveillance radar capable of detecting stealth aircraft and guided missiles.
