Description: The Captor AESA Radar (CAESAR) is an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar system derived from the Eurofighter-Typhoon's proven CAPTOR radar system. It replaces the mechanically steered array by electronically steering exerted by up to several thousand of transmit/receive modules which enable maximum performance and versatility. The demonstration program for CAESAR was successfully completed in May 2009. The new radar system is targeted at the Typhoon aircraft and specially for export customers after 2010.
