The AESA technology will enhance Typhoon’s radar capabilities further as compared to the current mechanically scanned (M-scan) radar.

It will offer increased detection and tracking ranges, advanced air-to-surface capability and enhanced electronic protection measures.

The new radar will retain the key features of the existing Captor radar architecture and will use latest generation technology to provide a full complement of air-to-air and air-to-surface modes.

It can be easily integrated in the Typhoon’s radome and will provide a wide field of regard as it is fitted on a repositioner.
