Aircraft Combat Command and Preservation Unit, Royal Thai Navy There is a project to purchase an aerial surveillance radar. Location on the island in Andaman coast, that can catch low-level aircraft and can avoid airborne surveillance systems or escape interception from the Air Force aircraft
To inform the airborne warning to the naval power units operating at sea And air defense units As well as the Navy's armed units To be able to protect important military targets And an important goal for the survival of the nation in a timely manner And effective
Technical features of air radar detectors such as
1. Use Solid State Technology,
2. Able to detect the target aircraft with a covering range from 0-5,000 feet,
3. The detection range can be detected at least 54nmi,
4. Can track the target automatically (Automatic Tracking) and not less than 100 targets at the same time (used as a basis for evaluating cost-per-performance values),
5. The air surveillance radar system has a low chance of being detected by LPI (Low Probability Intercept), which can still detect aircraft targets with a total of 0-5,000 feet.
6. There is a function to control the operation for searching, tracking, and tracking targets in various ways. Covering various situations As well as being convenient to use as follows
- Sector Blanking
- Clutter signal removal system
- Display moving targets (Moving Targer) by radar, can press the target signal that is not moving (Non Moving Target) that is Clutter (used as a basis for evaluating the cost per performance)
7. Has the ability to measure electronic harassment (ECCM: Electronic Counter Couunter Measures) (used as a basis for evaluating cost-per-performance values)
8. Must be able to export (output interface) target data that Radar can track (Track Target) in Asterix Format Category 048 for connection with the Navy's command control system. For a network-centric war (NCW: Network Centric Warfare) in the future
Which must be demonstrated to be validated at the factory level inspection (FAT) or delivery process in the actual area
Budget allocated amount 150,000,000 baht (4,248,130.73Euros), set the middle price (reference price) in the amount of 2,600,000 Euros or 63,122,400 baht Middle price sources from quotations include companies from six countries are :
Reutech Radar Systems, South Africa, CETC INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD., People's Republic of China, ICS Technologies SrL Italy, Terma Company Denmark, THALES France and Indra Sistemas SA Spain.
