Jane’s Radar and Electronic Warfare Systems

Delve into areas that are top of mind in today’s global defence community, including the defence of civilian aircraft against missile attacks, the impact of electronic scanning radars and time critical targeting and radar reconnaissance.

Content Structure
Jane’s Radar and Electronic Warfare Systems is a one stop, open source reference to the world’s military radars and electronic warfare systems that is available in online (regular updates), CD-ROM (updated quarterly), hard-copy (updated annually) and Jane’s Data Services (JDS and EIS configurations) formats (see catalogue for further information).

Structure
As such, the work is divided into the following subject areas:

• land-based air defence radars;
• battlefield, missile control and ground surveillance radar systems;
• naval/coastal surveillance and navigation radars;
• naval fire-control radars;
• airborne surveillance, maritime patrol and navigation radars;
• airborne fire-control radars; Identification
• Friend-or-Foe (IFF) and Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) systems;
• military Air Traffic Control (ATC), instrumentation and ranging radars;
• land-based SIGnal INTelligence (SIGINT), electronic support and threat-warning systems;
• land-based active and passive countermeasures systems and Defensive Aids Suites (DAS);
• naval SIGINT, electronic support and threat-warning systems;
• naval active and passive countermeasures systems and DAS;
• airborne SIGINT, electronic support and threat-warning systems;
• airborne active and passive countermeasures systems
• DAS and radar and electronic warfare simulation and training systems.

Record Structure
Within each subject area, entries are arranged alphabetically by country of manufacture. For each country, entries are attributed (where possible) to a particular contractor. Individual entries are structured as follows:

• Type: A brief description of the equipment’s role.
• Description: A narrative description of the equipment’s format and capabilities.
• Specifications: The equipment’s technical specifications.
• Status: Information on the equipment’s production and contract status and/or service use.
• Contractor: The equipment’s manufacturer.

Images
Photographs are provided for each equipment wherever possible. Line drawings and graphics are also provided in some cases. Images are annotated with a seven-digit number which uniquely identifies them in Jane’s Image Database.

Other Information
In addition to the main text, Jane’s Radar and Electronic Warfare Systems includes a glossary, tabulations, a list of contractors (including names, addresses and (where known) telephone/fax/telex numbers and e-mail and web site addresses) and, in the hard-copy format, classified indices.
