Rostec Rolls Out State-of-the-art Radar, Capable of Detecting Hypersonic Targets

JSC Rosoboronexport, part of Rostec State Corporation, has started promoting the 59N6-TE mobile three-dimensional radar, developed and produced by the JSC Federal Research and Production Center, Nizhniy Novgorod Research Institute of Radio Engineering (NNIIRT).

“Thanks to the work of thousands of Russian researchers, designers and engineers, Rosoboronexport may offer to its foreign partners unique defence solutions, which often do not have countertypes all over the world and are in line with the newest trends in modern warfare.

Today, Rosoboronexport is introducing to the market a cutting-edge radar, capable of detecting effectively a wide range of existing and future aerial targets, to include hypersonic targets. While developing the export version of the radar, the growing role of air defence assets for the provision of security of states was taken into account, as well as the needs of foreign customers in the expansion of the reconnaissance capabilities of their air defence units,” said Rosoboronexport’s Director General Alexander Mikheev.

Important Asset

The 59N6-TE mobile three-dimensional station is an exclusively Russian-made product, which uses Russian hardware components with digital processing and signal generation. It is fully solid-state and has high potential together with enhanced jamming resistance. The 59N6-ТЕ is a radar of medium and high altitude, having a decimetre wavelength range. Apart from hypersonic targets, it also effectively detects aerodynamic and ballistic objects.

The radar provides for the measurement of the range, azimuth and altitude of aerial targets. It is capable of detecting objects, flying at a speed of up to 8000 km/h at a range of up to 450 kilometres and at an altitude of up to 200 kilometres. After detection, it exchanges radar information with C4I complexes. It operates in conditions of jamming and carries out direction finding of active noise jammers.

The station has an automatic and a semi-automatic mode of aerial targets’ acquisition and tracking. In a real time mode, it can simultaneously track no less than 1,000 objects and recognise eight classes of targets, which includes selection of anti-radar missiles, and warning its own combat crew of the danger of elimination, by high precision munitions and homing missiles. The 59N6-ТЕ radar also includes equipment for the recognition of detected aerial targets in international radar recognition systems Mk-XA and ATC RBS.

The 59N6-ТЕ radar set includes an antenna-hardware complex and an indicator post, placed on a standard vehicle chassis of the “KAMAZ-6560” type. There are also options to place the item on a single vehicle chassis, deploy it in a stationary version or to place the radar antenna system on a high tower support and other installations. Besides, the station is equipped with remote operator’s workstations, which may stay at a distance of up to one kilometre from the indicator post if connected via glass fibre links, and up to 15 kilometres in case of using a radio link.

“In am confident that in present-day conditions and with obvious prospects of hypersonic technologies, the 59N6-ТЕ radar will take top positions in its market segment and will become an important asset for countries, which are building their own air defence systems with the account of the world trends of air attack weapons development. We rely on high demand for the new station in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and North Africa,” added Mikheev.

Russian Excellence

Rosoboronexport is the only state-owned arms trade company in the Russian Federation authorised to export the full range of military and dual-purpose products, technologies and services. It is a subsidiary of the Rostec Corporation. Founded on 4 November 2000, Rosoboronexport is one of the leading world arms exporters to the international market. Its share in Russia's military exports exceeds 85 per cent. It cooperates with more than 700 enterprises and organisations in the Russian defence industrial complex. Russia maintains military technical cooperation with more than 100 countries around the world.

State Corporation Rostec is one of the largest industrial groups in Russia. It comprises over 800 scientific and production entities in 60 regions of the country. Rostec's portfolio includes renowned brands such as AVTOVAZ, KAMAZ, Concern Kalashnikov, Russian Helicopters, Uralvagonzavod, etc. It is a partner of the world's leading manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus, Daimler, Pirelli, Renault, etc. The corporation supplies its products to more than 100 countries. Export of high-tech products provides for almost a third of the company's revenue.
