A1000, A1000M radar extractor

 

A1000 Radar Extractor is designed to provide:

• receiving and processing of radar signals from surveillance analogue radars;
• receiving and processing of IFF signals;
• automatic targets detection and measuring of their coordinates in clutter and noise conditions;
• decoding of response data;
• suppression of multi-reflections, sidelobe plots and background reflections;
• transmitting of information about detected targets to the consumers in digital form.

Technical parameters of the Extractor allow its integration with any surveillance analogue radar.

Primary data processing:

• stabilized probability of false alarm in different jamming conditions;
• suppression of reflections from local targets and weather formations;
• target splitting probability: less than 0,001;
• range detection accuracy (mean square error): 0.3 pulse duration (pd);
• azimuth detection accuracy (mean square error): 0.2 beam width (BW);
• detection resolution: 1.4 pd, 1.4 BW.

Information output:

• channel: serial synchronous or asynchronous;
• interface: RS-232C;
• protocol: HDLC, ASTERIX;
• speed: adjustable, up to 19 Kbps;
• composition: coordinate and respond information of detected air targets.

 Reliability:

• one hundred percent “hot” duplication of equipment, with automatic switchover (optional);
• automatic self- testing and diagnostics;
• built-in uninterruptable power supply system;
• mean-time-between-failures 10000 hours.

Displaying:

• 15″ colour indicator provides displaying of air situation, control, diagnostic and testing data (built-in or remote);
• real-time displaying of radar, IFF, direction finding and diagnostic information.

User interface:

• windowed interface with windows management capabilities (moving, opening, closing, re-sizing);
• displaying of azimuth-distance marks with possibility of switching on/off;
• “raw” and “cleaned” video displaying with possibility of on/off switching for each radar channel;
• displaying of detected plots;
• scaling capability, range 10 to 400 km with 1 km discrete;
• picture off-centring and re-centring capability;
• zooming mode;
• range and bearing vector for measuring of distance and relative azimuth between selected points;
• processing parameters control and adjustment through dedicated windows;
• input signals quality control through dedicated windows;
• control and management of data transmission channels.

Flexibility:

• connection to eventually all radar types;
• available in different configurations: wall-mounted, tabletop, or standalone rack-mounted;
• full duplication capability;
• data output adaptation according to user requirements: channel, format, protocol, speed are adjustable;
• easy integration of secondary channel data: civil SSR (Mode 1, 2, 3/A, C) and military;
• automatic correlation of PSR and SSR data;
• automatic track generation capability (optional);
• time synchronisation with external source and plot time stamping.
