EIRS, is a new generation S-Band radar developed for long range early warning, with its AESA and digital beamforming antenna architecture. EIRS has the ability to detect and track air breathing targets, ballistic missiles, anti-radiation missiles and stealth/low RCS targets from very long ranges.
AESA and Digital Beam Foming architecture together with Multi Channel Receivers allows to produce simultenous beams in space paving the way for multi-function and multi-mission operations. EIRS usesweather information to optimize its detection and tracking performance. EIRS is a highly mobile standalone system with its radar, command control/communication and power systems on tactical trucks without mounting/demounting operations for deployment and marchorder. EIRS can be connected to radar networks and can exchange 3D air picture among different EIRS systems and the Air Force command centers thru radios, radio links and army backbone thru AWCIES messaging. EIRS can perform data fusion and track handover amongst themselves, which is a critical feature especially for ballistic missile defense. A long range Mode 5 IFF interrogator is integrated with a high gain IFF antenna to cooperate with radar’s operational modes. EIRS AESA arhitecture and modular design approach support the concepts of high availability and low cost maintenance. EIRS, has several ECCM features such as frequency / time agility, low side lobe levels, jammer strobe and nulling, side lobe blanking, to name a few.
