- AMBER-1800
Ground-based mobile VHF-band radar AMBER-1800 provides automatic deployment on prepared sites and is designed for detection of air targets, determination of their coordinates and distribution of radar information to consumers. Transmitter and receiver of AMBER-1800 radar are solid-state.
Functions of AMBER-1800:
- automatic detection of air targets and determination of their coordinates (plots: azimuth, range);
- automatic generation of tracks and tracking of air targets in specified areas of airspace;
- displaying of video, plots and tracks, automatic distribution of air situation to consumers over provided data links;
- automatic issuance of the air target elevation measurement commands to radio height-finders, correlation of measured elevation with the tracks;
- recording and storage of air situation and interfaces of radar operators;
- control of radar operation modes, technical monitoring and diagnostics.
Radar consists of two vehicles:
Vehicle No. 1 - Hardware cabin with main electronic equipment;
Vehicle No. 2 - Vehicular platform with leveling system carrying antenna mast assembly (AMA) and deployment system, antenna-feeder system, two electric power plants.
- antenna-feeder system
- AMA automatic deployment system
- platform automatic leveling system
- antenna rotation and tilt system
- transmitting system
- receiving system
- information processing, displaying and distribution system (operator and remote workstations with 500 m standard cable)
- recording, monitoring and diagnostics system
- power supply; two power plants, transformer 380V – 220V, automatic load transfer and power distribution unit of the hardware cabin
- communication system
- temperature control
- semitrailer is leveled automatically/manually by electric drives installed on the chassis
