YLC-15 Radar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
YLC-15 is a fully coherent, Pulse Doppler air defence radar designed primarily to detect targets at ranges of 16km downwards. It also provides the capability to identify the hovering helicopter or low altitude flying cruiser missile.
The features of the YLC-15 radar are compact size, and light weight. Except for the antenna and pedestal, the radar can be broken down into three sections no more than 30 kg, can be mounted on any vehicles, which enable it especially suitable for small arm missions in the battlefield. YLC-15 radar also exhibits outstanding performance in power consumption and reliability. Its excellent features in target detection and ECCM considerably extend its operation in severe battlefield environment. The radar have been shown to be mounted on the BJ212/BJ2020 jeep and its equivalent.
The manufacturer of the system is Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology(NRIET)/Nanjing Institute No. 1 /南京电子技术研究所.
