Citat:
As previously reported, Russia will create a new plane airborne warning and control (AEW & C) A-100. According to RIA Novosti, said this Russian Air Force Commander Col. Gen. Alexander Zelin said. "There is full support for the Chief of Staff, financial support. By 2016, the need to create this car, somewhere to get the support of 2013-2014 ", - said the commander in chief.
Development of radar for new aircraft engaged in Radio Engineering "Vega", which is a continuation of its predecessor - the Moscow Research Institute of Instrument Engineering, the oldest enterprises of Russia in the field of aviation and space radar and is engaged in the creation, implementation and development of the latest technologies in the field of radar.
Development of antennas and radar for the new AWACS aircraft has been completed. "It is quite different than that of the A-50, with an active phased array. The aircraft will be able to solve the problems of air and ground targets, "- said Zelin. As a carrier for the new radar complex will use a modified military transport aircraft Il-476 with PS-90. It will provide greater range than that of the item on the Air Force A-50.
The first time that Russia will create a new AWACS aircraft, in September 2010, the general director of the concern "Vega" Vladimir Verba. According to him, a completely new complex will be ready by 2015 and will be based on the Il-76 and An-124 "Ruslan". Development of A-100 is in accordance with the decree of the President of Russia on April 28, 2004.
For today in the Russian Air Force AWACS aircraft are 26 A-50M based on the Il-76MD. Manufacture of aircraft engaged in Taganrog Aviation Scientific-Technical Complex (Beriev) named Beriev. A-50 is able to fly at speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour at a distance of 7.5 thousand kilometers. The aircraft is capable of detecting various types of air and ground targets, with complex provides support up to 300 targets.
Concern "Vega", presented at the recent air show sample of the new UAV "Ray", is currently working with the Beriev aircraft A is upgrading to version-50M A-50U. The latter is a deep modernization of the AWACS aircraft with advanced radar systems "Bee-M" and "Bumblebee-2." Compared to the base A-50 AWACS aircraft provide new targets for capturing a greater distance.
At this point, the modified complex A-50U provides detection range bombers to 650 kilometers, the fighters - at a range of 300 kilometers, and ground targets, such as a column of tanks - at a distance of 250 kilometers. Is anticipated that the A-100 will double these figures.
