Protivnik-GE radar
They are three-dimensional radars capable of providing early warning against strategic and combat aircraft, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and even low-speed, subsonic targets at various altitudes, with a range of up to 480 km and a maximum altitude of 200 km.

Commander SL long-range tactical air survey and early warning radar operating in the Egyptian Air Defense Forces

The Commander SL is British-made and produced by BAE Systems for Defense Industries.

It is a three-dimensional radar that operates on the S-Band (including the E/F-Band) that performs aerial survey tasks and identifies the enemy and friend. It has a tremendous ability to resist all means of electronic jamming (ECCM) and is capable of detecting future air threats such as UAV drones, cruise missiles, and munitions. Long Range Stand-off Weapons, especially at low altitudes. It also has the technology of detecting the height from a single pulse in the vertical direction, Phased mono-pulse height measurement, meaning that it can detect the height of the target from the first time without the need for confirmation. This is in addition to the ability to identify the enemy and friend (IFF) as a secondary scanning radar (SSR) Secondary Surveillance Radar, as the main radar’s mission is limited only to detecting air targets, but the secondary radar relies on the electronic transponder response devices to determine the identity of the aircraft itself.

The radar also features air-cooled TRIMS Solid-State Transmit Receive Integrated Modules installed behind the radar antennas as a highly reliable source of RF Radio Frequency with built-in redundancy.

The radar has tremendous operating reliability, as the average time between critical failures (MTBCF Mean Time Between Critical Failures) is about 1,500 hours of continuous operation with an operational readiness of 99%, and the average time required for maintenance (MTTR Meat Time To Repair) is only about 30 minutes, and low time requirements for maintenance, Finally, there is a built-in system for automatically identifying faults known as BITE.

The radar has a horizontal scanning range of up to 470 km and a detection ceiling of up to 30 km with a 20 degree elevation coverage angle and an electronic beam tilt rate of -2 degrees ~ +5.8 degrees.

B - Directing the fighters..
C - The station is also used for filling gaps or (GAB FILLING)...
10 - Detection capabilities (COVERAGE):
A - The detection range for a radar cross-sectional area (RCS) target is (2) meters/square with a detection probability of (80)% is (150) km..
B - Maximum height (10) km..
C – Elevation angle (40) degrees..
D - Accuracy of coordinate measurement:

(1) In the range (150) meters..
(2) At an angle of (1.5) degrees..
E - The ability to separate goals:

(1) In the range (150) meters..
(2) At an angle of (1.5) degrees..
11 – Antenna rotation speed (6, 12) revolutions/minute..
12 - Number of automated traffic lines (250)...
13 - Disassembly time (6) minutes and installation time (8) minutes..
14 - The operating time is only (1) minute.

15 – Capabilities to resist disability (ECCM CAPABILITY):
-
A - Frequency agility, each “pulse/group” of pulses (30) frequencies..
B - Choose the frequency that has the least impact on obstruction.
D - A digital system for showing moving targets, or (DMTI)...
E - The radar contains a “digital pulse compression system” or (DPCT)...
16 - The YLC-6M radar uses (MTD PROCESSOR) technology to improve tactical performance, whether in the “military/civilian” field, as there is a version of it used in “regulating the movement of civil aircraft” or (ATC), but it is a “fixed” or non-moving version. It is called (YLC-6 ATC)..
17 - During practical tests on the radar (YLC-6M), it “detected/tracked” the attack helicopter (AH-64 APACHE) from a distance of more than (+30) km.,
18 - The YLC-6M radar contains an “automatic north finder” system, or what is called (AUTOMATIC NORTH FINDIN), via GPS.
19 - The radar (YLC-6M) is equipped with an “automatic fault detection” system (BITE)

Egypt also needs AWACS.
 
Visual aerial surveillance elements of the Egyptian Air Defense Forces, deployed along the borders and coasts of the country and located within its towers, are equipped with telescopes and electro-optical (TV) and thermal cameras to detect aerial targets flying at very low altitudes, such as cruise missiles, drones, and fighter aircraft, which are very difficult for radars to detect at altitudes lower than 100 metres

The Zionist entity excels at infiltrating at heights of less than 100 meters, and it used it in the attack on the Tammuz nuclear reactor in Iraq in 1981. It also used this method in the attack on the nuclear reactor in Al-Kibar in Deir ez-Zor in Syria in 2007, and it also used it in the attack on the Yarmouk factory in Sudan. In 2012

Visual air surveillance elements of the Egyptian Air Defense Forces are tasked with detecting and reporting hostile air targets flying at altitudes of up to 100 metres.
