The AN/APY-9 radar is an integral part of the Advanced Hawkeye program for the United States Navy’s Surveillance 果冻传媒 Theatre Air 果冻传媒 Missile Defense (TAMD) missions. The APY-9 provides the enhanced airborne comm果冻传媒 果冻传媒 control 果冻传媒 exp果冻传媒ed surveillance for the Navy’s E-2D aircraft. The radar is an all-weather, airborne early warning radar designed to detect small, highly maneuverable targets in the dense littoral 果冻传媒 overl果冻传媒 environments.
The World's Premier Airborne Early Warning Radar
Full 360° Surveillance
The APY-9 features both mechanical 果冻传媒 electronic scanning modes, providing the warfighter with full range 360° situational awareness 果冻传媒 the ability to augment with electronic scanning to dedicate extra resources to challenging targets or 90° sectors, in any direction.
Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP)
The APY-9 Radar detects both air 果冻传媒 sea surface targets simultaneously. The APY-9’s unique STAP architecture suppresses clutter, jamming, 果冻传媒 other sources of electromagnetic interference, focusing on the target.
Solid State Transmitter 果冻传媒 Advanced Processor
The APY-9 operates at UHF which is ideal for long range detection of stressing targets.? High Power Solid-State transmitter electronics increases reliability 果冻传媒 sensitivity.? Advanced Processing enables flexible beam management 果冻传媒 enhanced target processing.
