DK-1 low-altitude detection radar

In order to achieve timely detection and accurate tracking, anti-drone systems are equipped with multi-type radar and Optoelectronic equipment, radar and optoelectronic equipment using different technologies complement each other's advantages, interactive use, and alternate start-up, which can ensure that the entire early warning and detection system can function 24 hours a day, all-weather.

Among them, the more representative detection methods are the new generation of photoelectric radar and DK-1 low-altitude detection radar, which debuted at this air show for the first time. The new generation of photoelectric radar was developed by the No. 25 Institute of the Second Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. It not only has the characteristics of high visual imaging and measurement accuracy of photoelectric products, but also has the advantage of simultaneously measuring three-dimensional information of multiple targets. It can realize 360° panoramic infrared imaging of the surrounding area and threat targets Detection and 3D localization of multiple targets. This type of radar adopts the working system of ranging while searching for the first time. It has the all-weather working ability for air targets. It can perform medium and long-distance ranging from 500 meters to 18 kilometers for more than 20 targets per second. It is free from interference from complex electromagnetic environments, With the characteristics of strong recognition ability and high measurement accuracy, it has unique advantages in the detection of a large number of low-altitude flying weak targets such as drone swarm attacks.

DK-1 low-altitude detection radar is a special detection system for low-altitude UAV targets. While searching, intercepting, monitoring and tracking, it can also detect and track ground vehicle targets. The radar has provided support services for UAV target air defense early warning in many large-scale domestic activities, and plays an important role in urban air defense and defense of key locations.

Compared with the vehicle-mounted S-band radar used in conjunction with the "Silent Hunter" laser cannon already equipped in Saudi Arabia, the "anti-drone system" launched at the Zhuhai Air Show in 2022 added DK-1 low-altitude detection radar and photoelectric radar, to achieve a multi-band, multi-spectrum, multi-method detection mode. Especially for clustered targets, the traditional radar may not be able to accurately detect the number of targets, and when the UAV uses the electronic interference mode to interfere with the radar, it can detect, analyze and lock the target through the photoelectric radar. There are many benefits of using photoelectric radar. It can perform 360° panoramic infrared imaging around it, actively identify threat targets, and can also combine with AI analysis system to measure multi-target three-dimensional information. It can even provide the ability to identify and track ground targets.

Compared with the single-point defense system currently used by Saudi Arabia, the networked joint combat capability demonstrated at the Zhuhai Air Show should be an important combat force that Saudi Arabia urgently needs in the future. At the 2022 Zhuhai Air Show, China demonstrated the ground-guided air defense command and control system ZK-K20, which can even support campaign-level air defense network operations. Human-machine interception. Not only can it intercept large drones as early as possible, but it can also command various weapons in the system, and at the same time take into account soft and hard kills, and intercept incoming swarm-level drones.

Saudi Arabia has already purchased a variety of Chinese weapons. If they are integrated through the ZK-K20 command system, the overall air defense efficiency will undoubtedly be greatly improved, not only limited to defense against drones, but even from manned aircraft to anti-missiles. can be done. It also leaves a reserved interface for Saudi Arabia to purchase more Chinese-made weapons in the future, and will directly realize the "plug-and-play" weapon networking at that time, increasing its combat power in a short time.
