In Russia will create its own system of radar satellites – to such Moscow’s decision came after the imposed Western sanctions have touched our technical collaboration with the Franco-German company Airbus Defence and Space .
The principle AFAR well known to us – we have experience in manufacturing these radars for combat aircraft, there is enough to recall the project PAK FA
Initially, the Russian Ministry of Defense planned to purchase the Europeans a new radar system, and then set her on a Russian satellite platform, but despite the fact that the contract was estimated at nearly $ 1 billion, veto it imposed German Chancellor Merkel .
As a result, the Kremlin had decided themselves to create such a system from scratch, and , NPO. Lavochkin believes that this in Russia has every opportunity. However, the key issue – in the creation of AESA (active phased array antenna) technology is mastered in Russia, but it is not perfect.
Such a system would allow Russia to create an accurate 3D-model of the Earth, and track all ground facilities .
CEO “RISKSAT» Alex Kucheiko said that Russia has in principle the possibility of creating such a system, especially if the work will be connected to those teams who have experience in implementing similar projects .
«The difficulties are foreseen – is first and foremost element base, which is either not produced in Russia, and its production was for various reasons stopped” – says Kucheiko.
The principle AFAR us well known – we have experience in manufacturing similar radars for combat aircraft, there is enough to recall the project PAK FA, which today is different from the Su-35 in the first place and the presence of a new glider AFAR in Russia. After all, the presence of AFAR does PAK FA is the latest in the world of fifth generation fighter aircraft.
«For the space radar all questions and solved, but everything depends on the organizational and technical solutions” – said Kucheiko.
The fact is that all technologies are scaled, they together are interconnected, so that is used in other fields of science and technology, one way or another, suitable for space.
It is enough to recall the number of radar stations , which is used for military aviation, and space and aviation.
Known experience Israelites when they radar for airborne platform used to create the satellite radar reconnaissance TecSar, who was then also purchased India.
«Radar combat aircraft are relevant because in Russia they are at a more advanced level than the cosmic counterparts,” – says Kucheiko.
In general, afraid of such projects, according Kucheiko, it is not necessary, since the thirties, our country has passed a path of scientific development, in principle, we could handle any technological problem.
«Rests everything is political will, organizational solutions and financing”, – said Kucheiko.
It is noteworthy that an organizational issue here is that you should not give this kind of work teams, who had not engaged in this issue. Moreover, we have a school, a lot of them, between them, and so is a serious struggle, and if to dilute the whole process by amateurs, it will seriously affect the achievement of results.
Accordingly, if the case will be properly delivered, and under it will be allocated the necessary money, the problem will be solved as soon as possible.
