Rosoboronexport has unveiled a new 59N6-TE mobile three-dimensional radar capable of detecting hypersonic targets.
The radar has been developed by “Nizhniy Novgorod Research Institute of Radio Engineering” (NNIIRT).
The 59N6-TE mobile three-dimensional station utilizes Russian hardware components with digital processing and signal generation. It is fully solid-state and has high potential together with enhanced jamming resistance, Rosoboronexport said in a release Thursday.
59N6-ТЕ is a medium and high altitude radar having a decimeter wavelength range. Apart from hypersonic targets, it also effectively detects aerodynamic and ballistic targets.
The radar is capable of detecting targets flying at a speed of up to 8,000kmph, range of up to 450km and at an altitude of up to 200km. It provides range, azimuth and altitude of aerial targets.
