Egyptian Air Defense

[The SC]

Egyptian-made two-dimensional radar ESR-32A
It works in the L Band frequency band

Maximum range: 250 km

Maximum altitude: 12 km

It can process 100 targets at the same time

Radar data can be integrated with the new Egyptian command and control system (RISC2) or with any other command and control system.

The radar control room can be directly connected to the radar or it can be far away so as not to be targeted by anti-radiation (anti-radar) missiles (even if the radar is destroyed, the radar operators will be protected because they will be in a room far from the radar)

The radar is mobile, which makes it easy to move from one place to another

The radar is a product of cooperation between the Research and Development Department, Air Defense Division of the Egyptian Armed Forces, and Banha Electronic Industries Company, affiliated with the Ministry of Military Production.

Rezonans-NE Radar
long-range early warning and aerial surveillance radar..It is designed for early warning and long-range aerial surveillance work, and operates in the Very High Frequency (VHF) range with metric wavelengths, which allows monitoring stealth targets, including cruise missiles, Ballistic missiles, and air targets with hypersonic speeds (the speeds of which exceed Mach 5 and reach to Mach 20), and in various weather conditions, with tremendous immunity against various means of obstruction and dense electronic interference. The radar has a range of 1,100 km, and a maximum altitude for detecting air targets of up to 100 km. It can detect targets with hypersonic speeds of up to 7 km/s (25,000 km/h), as well as targets with very low speeds of up to 0.1 m/s, such as helicopters in stability mode in the air, and it can track 500 air targets simultaneously, with the ability to predict the landing positions of Ballistic missiles by calculating the range, direction, and speed.

The AN/MPQ-64F1 Improved Sentinel radar, which Egypt contracted with 8 radars during 2017.

It is a three-dimensional radar operating on the “X-Band” frequency band, intended for aerial surveying and target tracking for short- and medium-range air defense systems in the theater of operations. The new generation also features improved software, a new data and signal processor, and two computer systems equipped to absorb and store data on future threats. The new version has a mode for monitoring and tracking low-altitude aerial targets such as cruise missiles and drones.

Russian-made Polyana D4M1 command and control system in service with the Egyptian Air Defense Forces

The Surface-to-Air Missile Command Center is Egyptian-made to analyze and evaluate air risks and threats and determine the types of air defense systems needed to deal with them. It is easily linked with all components of the Egyptian air defense network, including missile and artillery batteries, and aerial survey means. And early warning, whatever its type and source.

AN/TPS-59(V)3 early warning radar operated by the Egyptian Air Defense

The AN/TPS-59 is an American-made 3D phased array early warning radar for detecting ballistic missiles and various air targets, with 3D phased array antennas (provides range, altitude, and bearing data)

- Advanced, highly sensitive antennas with Active Electronically Elevation Scanning Array (AESA) mode, while horizontal scanning is done through mechanical radar movement rotating at an angle of 360°.

- A developed, high-precision computer with improved software for data processing, which allowed - in addition to the developed antennas - to track ballistic missiles during their flight and provide reports on their location in real time, with an estimate of the launch point and the point of collision of the missiles.

- The ability to operate in three modes: Air Breathing Targets mode (planes and missiles with engines that require air to burn fuel) - Theater Ballistic Missile mode (ballistic missiles launched from a distance of 300 km to 3500 km) - Operating mode In a combined manner of the previous two styles.

- The ability to work with the medium-range Hawk and Patriot long-range air defense systems, and the AEGIS missile defense system on board destroyers and cruisers in the US Navy.

The Egyptian Air Defense Forces have 14 radars, divided into the following two versions:

1) 5 radars from the towed version AN/TPS-59(V)2 were upgraded to the AN/TPS-59(V)3 version in 2003.

2) 9 radars from the smaller self-propelled version AN/TPS-59M/34 were developed and renewed in 2004, and Egypt is the only country that owns the self-propelled version.

*Radar specifications:

1) Working wave range: The L/D band is within the Ultra High Frequency UHF range, in the frequency range 1215 - 1400 MHz.

2) Monitoring capabilities:

A- Against ballistic missiles throughout the theater of operations:

- Maximum range: 740 km at a 360° horizontal angle

- Maximum altitude: 305 km.

- Angle of directing the electronic radiation vertically: -5° ~ 60°

B- Monitoring capabilities against aircraft and mobile missiles:

- Maximum range: 555 km at a 360° horizontal angle

- Maximum altitude: 30.5 km.

- Angle of directing the electronic radiation vertically: -2° ~ 20°

3) Reliability:

- Operability: 99%

- Average time between critical errors: more than 2000 hours

4) Mobility and transportation:

- Possibility of transportation by C-130 Hercules aircraft.

- Possibility of transportation by designated trucks.

- Possibility of installation in locations not prepared in advance.

- Reaching full working capacity from the moment the site is chosen: 4 hours.
