3. APAR (Active Phased Array Radar)
The Active Phased Array Radar system is European fire control technological masterpiece. Developed by international cooperation, APAR combines exact fire control capabilities with superior multi-function radar capacity. The system tracks many targets and guides several missiles concurrently by forming multiple simultaneous beams from hundreds of transmit/receive modules. Its sophisticated signal processing techniques outperform electronic countermeasures and maritime clutter. Rapid switching between search and track modes of operation makes the system especially useful for resisting low-flying anti-ship missiles and saturation attacks.
