Assessing the Tikhomirov NIIP L-Band Active Electronically Steered Array



Tikhomirov NIIP in Moscow are developing an L-band AESA radar system intended for embedding in the leading edges of fighter wings. A demonstrator of the L-band AESA subsystem was publicly displayed at MAKS2009.

This paper analyses the operational potential of this design, and performs a range of performance estimates based on manufacturer disclosures and known design features.

The design has clear potential to provide a genuine shared multifunction aperture with applications including:

1. Search, track and missile midcourse guidance against low signature aircraft.
2. Identification Friend Foe / Secondary Surveillance Radar.
3. Passive angle tracking and geolocation of JTIDS/MIDS/Link-16 emitters at long ranges.
4. Passive angle tracking and geolocation of L-band AEW&C/AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges.
5. Passive angle tracking and geolocation of hostile (i.e. Western) IFF and SSR transponders at long ranges.
6. High power active jamming of JTIDS/MIDS/Link-16 emitters.
7. High power active jamming of satellite navigation receivers over large areas.
8. High power active jamming of L-band AEW&C/AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges.
9. High power active jamming of guided munition command datalinks over large areas.

Performance modelling for a range of feasible configurations indicates the radar will deliver tactically credible search range performance.

The Tikhomirov NIIP L-band AESA is an important strategic development, and a technology which, once fully matured and deployed in useful numbers, will render narrowband stealth designs like the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and some UAVs, highly vulnerable to Flanker variants equipped with such radars.

Yeah...the russian brothers are doing well!

***The only thing needed for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing***

And it's going to kill a JSF (if it can) where, over the Aegean?

I see that Greeks take great pride in the size of other nation's cocks. Classic.

^^^ No my ruski friend, the meaning of this thread is to show that there is a cure for everything. The US produces JSF, the Russians produce a radar to detect it in response. It's certain that in the near future the JSF technology will be obsolete and we will have obtain weapons to counter it. The best part of the story will be that turkey will have already spent a zillion dollars on its investment. We will have the cure before you even get to fly the plane. Be sure of that...

Who told you that Greece are going to get its hands on S-400?

Greeks be proud of other nations technologic developments...



I cant find any words to write...

Of course there will always be something to counter American technology, followed by American tech to counter Russian ones.. It'll never stop, but what is the point of all this? Greece doesnt plan on using this jet, even if they did i very VERY VERY highly doubt they'll ever buy it, so why lick the ass of a jet thats not used by you or made by you?

How can you counteract a technology your not in possession of ?

Greeks to Turks: "Ha! Klingons have the death ray and you don't. Pwwwned. Hahahahaha!"

yeah yeah,and in the meantime you threaten us with 3D's lol.

Back to the radar in the wingtips, Russians do pioneer these kind of technologies often.

Kuddo's to them since widening the radar antenna for lower frequencies might work and would put the F35 indeed in a troublesome position.
