China unveiled a space surveillance radar that can also be used to track anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs), during the Airshow China 2022 exhibition held in Zhuhai from 8 to 13 November.
Janes analysis of SLC-18 images suggests the radar is approximately 9 m tall and 8 m wide. The antenna face of the low-frequency radar array is covered with 960 disk-shaped cross-polarised antenna elements mounted at an elevated angle by a hydraulic assembly.
Information accompanying the displayed equipment indicated that the SLC-18 has a solid-state active electronically scanned array (AESA) design, and functions in the P-band (250–500 MHz) radio frequency (RF) spectrum.
The radar is used for upper atmosphere and space surveillance, and can search, detect, and track objects such as ballistic missiles and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.
In addition, the system can build a catalogue for forecasting LEO satellites, as well as acquire multitarget track and measurement data.
