Phazotron broadens its product range
Article Abstract:
Phazotron, a Russian radar design organization, is expanding its product range with a variety of new developments. The design organization is using an airborne radar as the framework for a new system to be employed with the Pantzir short-range surface-to-air missiles. It is currently working on the Zhuk PH and Super Koypo PH phased-array variants of the conventionally scanned Zhuk and Super Koypo. Phazotron is also developing the RP-35 radar for the new MiG-35 fighter, which is expected to supersede the MiG-29. The RP-35 radar has a track-while-scan mode and is able to track as many as 24 and attack as many as four targets simultaneously. A heavier variant will be able to track as many as 24 targets and attack six targets at the same time.

The hunters and the hunted
Article Abstract:
Attack aircraft become targets for air-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles unless they are equipped with an effective self-protection system. An integrated suite, designed to avoid compromising the stealth capabilities of the Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor, has been developed to protect the aircraft. Similarly, the Eurodass suite is being developed for the Eurofighter by the three-member consortium composed of Elettronica, Indra and BAE Systems. Other protective systems have also been developed by the Ericsson Saab Avionics, Thomson-CSF, Dassault Electronique and Matra BAe Dynamics France.

High-tech "eyes" for flying spies
Article Abstract:
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) being developed by countries across the globe rely on TV and flir as well as data links to boost the effectiveness of film-based cameras. For instance, flir sensors make it possible for UAVs to collect intelligence by day or night, while gathering of image in different conditions is bolstered by radar. With these capabilities, armed forces across the world must take advantage of the opportunities offered by the latest UAV sensor technology.
