How do these naval radar and FCS (Daring, Aegis, 052C) match-up?

I am no expert with all this technical stuff. Need help from the pro’s to make sense of it. πŸ™‚

SENSORS

The air search and fire control radar for the Aegis system is the Lockheed Martin AN/SPY-ID 3D phased array radar, operating at E/F band. Surface search radar is a DRS Technologies AN/SPS-67(V)3 C-band (5.4-5.8 GHz) radar. There is also: Raytheon SPS-64(V)9 I-band navigation radar and three Raytheon AN/SPG-62, I/J-Band radars for fire control.

The sonar suite is the Lockheed Martin SQQ-89(V)6, which includes Edo Corporation AN/SQS-53C bow-mounted active search and attack sonar and the AN/SQR-19B passive towed array. USS Momsen (DDG 92) was the first vessel to be fitted with the Lockheed Martin AN/WLD-1 Remote Minehunting System, which will equip all subsequent vessels. AN/WLD-1 includes a Remote Minehunting Vehicle (RMV) that tows the AN/AQS-20A variable depth sonar (VDS).

SENSORS

Wide-area long-range search is provided by the Alenia Marconi Systems S1850M radar operating at D-band, an enhanced version of the Thales Nederland (formerly Signaal) SMART-L. Raytheon Systems Ltd will supply the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system.

Ultra Electronics (with EDO Corporation of the USA) has been selected to provide the Type 45’s Surface Ship Torpedo Defence (SSTD) system which includes the MFS-7000 bow-mounted medium frequency sonar, a development of the sonar supplied by EDO to the Brazilian Navy. The system will provide automatic warning of a torpedo attack and tactical advice on ship manoeuvres and the deployment of decoys to defeat the threat.

China’s first 6,600-ton missile destroyer with an Aegis-type four-plate phased array antenna is the Lanzhou DDG 170 launched in Jiangnan Shipyard in April 2003. The DDG 171 followed six months later. Their undesignated Chinese radar is different from the Aegis or Sky Watch phased array radars. This radar is C-band instead of L- or F-band, and it has convex curved arrays instead of flat panels. The four arrays are 4.6 meters high x 3.9 meters wide, and they face out from the forward deckhouse as on the U.S. DDG 51. China reportedly has purchased two advanced Russian phased array radars for a follow-on larger air defense DDG 103 ship that is under construction at the Dalien shipyard. The short one- or two-ship production runs are a trademark of post-Luda DDG designs.

You can only realy compare aegis and sampson, not enough is known about the 052c to make a fair asessment at this stage, despite what some might say.
