Description:
The S1850M is an upgraded SMART-L volume search radar with the radar upgrade focusing on digital technology enabling seamlessly integration with sophisticated air defense systems. In addition, the improved radar system has a slightly higher rotation speed, improved anti-jamming capabilities, a flexible signal processor and local consoles. The S1850M advanced volume search radar will be installed onto United Kingdom's Type 45 destroyers and Franco-Italian Horizon frigates as part of PAAMS air defense system.
The S1850M is capable of automatic detection, track initiation and tracking of up to 1,000 air targets at a range of 400 km. Its performance has already been tested on land, where the system has proven to be highly capable of detecting stealth targets in a land clutter environment. Furthermore, the system has proven to be able to detect and track outer atmosphere objects for future Theatre Ballistic Missile Defense (TBMD) capabilities. Thales Naval Systems and Alenia Marconi Systems carried out the S1850M development.
