BEIJING: Advanced anti-stealth technologies were in the spotlight at China’s radar industry exhibition on Thursday, at a time when stealth aircraft have become an increasingly significant threat to air defense worldwide.
Co-hosted by the China Radar Industry Association, the China Electronics Technology Group Co (CETC) and the China Electronics Information Industry Group Co, the three-day Ninth World Radar Expo kicked off in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu Province, the birthplace of the nation’s radar industry. As countermeasures to stealth aircraft, some of the most advanced weapons in the world that challenge air defense systems, several types of anti-stealth radar systems developed by China attracted attention from the visiting crowds.
Developed by the No.14 Research Institute of the CETC under the concept that radar systems are facing increasingly diverse threats, the SLC-7 L-band 3D surveillance radar system can take on targets including stealth aircraft, helicopters, drones, cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, near-space targets, and artillery shells and rockets, making it much more versatile than many competing products, according to a statement the research institute sent to the Global Times on Thursday at the event. The SLC-7 can detect and track multiple targets at the same time, withstand saturation attacks, adapt to jamming, and rapidly identify targets, the statement said, noting that it has a long range, is very reliable, and can be deployed with only one push of a button.
