- PRV-16ML
Mobile height-finder PRV-16ML is intended for measurement of aircraft altitude from target designations provided by interfaced radar or automated control system and bearing of active jammers. By default PRV-16ML distributes data in ASTERIX format. Along with two-dimensional range finders (such as upgraded P-18/P-19 etc.) PRV-16ML forms the back-bone of 3D Radar Complex. System is offered as the upgraded follow-on to the prototype, analogue PRV-16. PRV-16ML can be easily interfaced with surveillance radars and command and control centres such as P-18ML, P-14ML, MARS-L, AMCP "Module", etc. Advanced digital technologies of radar signal processing and solid-state components have allowed to improve performance characteristics and jamming immunity, electromagnetic compatibility, decrease power consumption.
Main functions:
- acquisition and processing of target designations from interfaced surveillance radars, command and control units;
- automatic detection and measurement of position (azimuth, slant range, elevation), height calculation;
- data distribution in ASTERIX format;
- displaying target designations, air situation and weather formations at technical workstation;
- manual target designation by operator, automatic height measurement for verbal output;
- automatic detection and bearing (in elevation) of active jammers, data distribution in approved protocol;
- semi-automatic levelling, automatic topographic positioning based on “Navstar” GPS;
- automatic technical monitoring and diagnostics.
- interfacing capability with existing control systems;
- automatic target detection at specified azimuth, elevation (height) measurement and data distribution to radar sensor (command and control unit);
- increased mobility due to arranging and accommodating all equipment on a single vehicle, automation of levelling and terrain positioning;
- fully independent field operation: built-in power generators to back up 380 V, 50 Hz industrial mains;
- replacement of all outdated equipment with new one not requiring adjustment;
- minimizing hardware operations in favour of software implemented solutions;
- built-in diagnostics and technical monitoring system.
- hardware cabin or truck chassis;
- antenna waveguide;
- transmitter;
- receiver;
- antenna servo drive control;
- data processing, displaying and distribution system;
- power supply system;
- communication system;
- levelling system;
- positioning and orientation system;
- temperature control system.
PRV-16ML is equipped with advanced semi-automatic levelling system. Levelling accuracy of ± 2’ is achieved.
