Abstract:
The MF-STAR is a multi-function S-band solid-state active conformal phased array radar system for the new generation of military ships. The radar system delivers high quality arena situation picture and weapons support, under the toughest target/environment conditions in the existing and future naval arena.
Incorporating advanced technology and robust system architecture; the MF-STAR employs multi-beam and pulse Doppler techniques as-well-as robust ECCM techniques to extract fast, low RCS targets from complex clutter and jamming environments.
Main Objectives:
Blue water and Littoral warfare support
Simultaneous multi-engagement support
Active and Semi active missile support
3D long-range air surveillance
3D medium range automatic threat alert
Missile horizon search and threat alert
Maritime surface surveillance
Target classification (including Helo)
Gunnery control and splash spotting
Main advantages:
- Fast threat alert response time
- Very high tracking update rate and accuracy for priority targets
- Short Search frame/TWS revisit time
- Mid-course guidance of active/semi-active anti-air missiles
- Illuminator enslavement for semi-active missiles
- Automatic splash detection and measurement for gunnery support
- Instantaneous multi-beam
- Advanced Beam Forming techniques for ECCM
- Low life cycle cost (LCC)
- Lightweight antenna (fits ships from corvette and above)
- Scalable, modular active solid-state phased array
- High reliability and high availability
