On 05/19/2022, Egypt obtained two types of radars,
SOPKA-2 and
LIRA-A10.
LIRA-A10
Sopka-2 S-band Air-Route Radar Complex (ARRC) is intended for application as radar data source for air traffic control and airspace monitoring systems.
At the same time, the separate channel is providedwith in the ARRC for reception of meteorological data similar to the one obtained from specialized meteorological radars.
“Sopka-2” ARRC does ensure detection of air objects, measurement of range, azimuth and elevation angle (height) of targets, identification of state-belonging, obtaining via MSSR/GRI channel of supplementary data transmitted by aircraft on-board transponders, combining of radar data obtained from PSR, SSR and GRI, as well as sending the data processed to the consumers’ displaying facilities as per protocols agreed.
