Good job with the aerostat.Currently it has the Nishant’s EO payload.The two imported aerostats have the EL/M 2083 which are supposed to be similar to the 2080s.What are our options? A variant of the LRTR?or maybe the XV 2004?
Specs XV 2004 [c/o kprasad BRF]
XV2004:
– SV2000 Mk.2 version
– Mainly designed for Rotary and fixed wing platforms – has been belly mounted on the Dornier (a pic was shown). It is now in service.
The upgrades in teh XV2004 are:
– New mapping mode added, which includes radar signature and ISAR ship image mapping & classification
– The requirement for the ISAR was at least 3 m resolution – they have achieved 2-3 m as required.
– Hardware has been upgraded
– The processor is new and upgraded
– The Bandwidth is 60 MHz
– A new array stabilization system was developed for fixed wing operation.
Primary Modes:
– Sea Surveillance
– Air Target detection
Secondary modes:
– Weather and Navigation mode
– SART beacon
– NEW – Mapping mode – Range signature, ISAR Ship imaging and classification.
{{They showed an ISAR image of a ship – it was excellent – 2-3 m resolution. The type of ship was automatically classified, and the length calculated as 82 m.
The image was better than the ISAR image that was taken from an Israeli image taken from their Eitam CAEW AWACS, which I have talked about before – the ship classes were about the same, as were the sizes. However, the Israeli one also demonstrated a 3D ISAR image – I am not sure if that is a processed version of the 2D image.}}
The radar has achieved 1 m2 detection (submarine snorkel) at 20 nm distance. This is beyond the required range that was asked for in the requirements. The range signature can measure the length of a target to within 2 m accuracy.
