Now are in dealing with Pakistani style ego and sadly, arrogance also.
What is new here that I didn't already cover?

First of all, throwing this term "AESA" is silly. Why? Radars have existed before the WWII. Their role hasn't changed much. Only the generations of tech has. Back in the 80's and 90's, the radars would still be configured to do everything an AESA does today.

AESA just does it faster and compact. Why? Because the computing power has increased 10 folds compared to 1980's. Google Moor's law to educate yourself on what I mean here and may be you can put some pieces together. Otherwise, good luck.

Do you understand what " data" a radar communicates? AESA or NO AESA? The data is the same from the 50's, 60's or in 1980's. Radar is a communication device. It speaks with waves it sends, it listens with waves it gets back. The resulting picture, is the DATA on the screen. It displays that data on monitors, in the form of pictures or shares it to some other location or through various mediums like Satellites or AEW planes, etc. That's communication. So what is new in it?

The PAF's radars were providing "data" to various sectors back in 1980's. Today they just replaced many older one's with AESA technology. Same functions.

Now coming onto APG-81, that's a fire control radar. It will work as a fire control radar. What's the point you are trying to make?

Did you even read the what I wrote and what is written in the links?

And again don’t be abrasive.

I read it, nothing new in there that I didn't cover. If one has enough real work knowledge on the subject, he will write without google or any other support. It tells the person with experience that the other side can't get into the engineering aspects of the product or technology being discussed.

Similarly, if you don't have command, why not just learn or ask question than getting into an argument?

Buddy, you have some comprehension issues. AESA array can be programmed to do radar function, EW and comms. You didn’t accept that and now you are misbehaving for telling you that it is so? Bringing moores law and random stuff into it. It’s not just the computational power, it’s the entire architecture of the emitter/receiver that has changed. And the programmability it brings with it.

And are you ok? You asked for a link, I obliged and now you have problem with that.

Instead of going in circles, stay focused on the argument. Explain to me what does it mean the "AESA array can be programmed to do radar function, EW and Comms". First DEFINE:

1) What is a Radar function you mentioned in your post
2) What's the EW function mentioned in your post that this array will do?
3) What is the Comms function your "AESA array" will be programmed to do.

Give us these three pieces of your unique AESA "array" that no other radar has done before. Provide details so we can further the discussion.

You should simply go and read the links you asked for. You are making a fool of yourself.

You are not capable of having a discussion.

Who made you a "think tank" here? You should have the sense to either get into a debate where you have expertise, or, stay out of it and learn. This is like the 2nd "think tank" I've come across who has "tanked thinking".

I knew it was going to be a waste of time when I saw your first post and realized the dude has no expertise on the subject. But he will try to shine his "think tank" badge! Good luck next time.

No. I won’t get into a debate with someone who lacks basic comprehension skill. (Actually I did and regret it)

I recommend you take some omega3 that may help your condition.

China is launching massive satellite constellation into LEO atmosphere for military and commercial technology used. Pakistan needs a few satellites build on the same principle so that we can have our own constellation to cover for our military and commercial objectives. Our core focus is primarily the Pakistan India Afghanistan area so 5+ satellites will do the job for us in short term.

China launches 8th batch of satellites for 13,000-strong internet mega constellation​

A Long March 5B rocket lifted off from Wenchang Space Launch Center on the island of Hainan on Wednesday (Aug. 13) at 2:43 a.m. EDT (0643 GMT; 2:43 p.m. local time), carrying a batch of satellites aloft for the Guowang broadband network.

The mission to low Earth orbit (LEO) was a complete success, according to the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).

Here is it again another gaffe! Omega 3 are for Cardiovascular health. Again, who made you a "think tank"? It seems as you start to comment on everything that you see on the internet without having basic knowledge of facts. I'm done! What a waste of time!

Lol. What a clown. But at least you acknowledged where your problem is.

SUPARCO confirms successful deployment of Pakistan’s advanced remote sensing satellite​

Satellite to strengthen disaster management systems by providing timely alerts for floods, landslides, and earthquakes

BR Web Desk
August 16, 2025


The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) announced on Saturday the successful deployment and operational readiness of the country’s advanced remote sensing satellite.

The satellite was launched on July 31, 2025, from China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC), said a press release by SUPARCO.

The press release said that the satellite established stable communication with ground stations and has begun transmitting high-resolution images, enabling the availability of data for various national sectors.


“The satellite possesses high-quality imaging capabilities that will revolutionize urban planning, infrastructure development, and regional planning, while also assisting in monitoring urban expansion and development trends,” the press release said.

It added that the satellite will also strengthen disaster management systems by providing timely alerts for floods, landslides, and earthquakes.

The satellite will also support improved agricultural productivity by mapping crop patterns and enhancing water resource management, thereby contributing to food security, added the statement.

“In addition, it will play a vital role in national development projects such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), enabling mapping of transport networks, identification of geohazards, and efficient utilization of resources.”

Pakistan has made notable progress in its space research efforts in recent months.

Earlier this year, China launched Pakistan’s indigenously developed Electro-Optical satellite EO-1 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, aimed at disaster prediction and resource management.

In November last year, SUPARCO revealed plans to send its lunar rover as part of China’s Chang’E 8 mission slated for 2028.

Moreover, in 2024, PakSat-MM1 brought high-speed internet to underserved areas, while the launch of iCube Qamar, a student-built satellite from the Institute of Space Technology (IST), captured stunning images of the lunar surface, showcasing the innovation and promise of Pakistan’s young scientists on a global stage.

@Waz sb

The problem is images are not allowed to be released,

Why? I think it would be in Chinese interest to see India completely humiliated.

Such support is not disclosed, but it was clearly mentioned by the Indian military chiefs in their conferences.

 

[PK781]

Operational capability of this latest SAR based system will allow Pakistan military to cover major parts of Indian territory in real time and share that data in high resolution images back to the ground stations.

With a couple more Radar and SAR equipped Satellites, Pakistan will be in a position where it can guide it's own missiles to target from its own small constellation of around 3-5 Satellites. This series of Satellites will allow Pakistan to do its own imaging and analysis and not have to depend in BeiDou constellation 100%.

@Hakikat ve Hikmet @PAKISTANFOREVER @TAC @hussain0216 @PK781 Your opinion on this capability and development?

lovely. Greatly enhances Pakistans capability to unleash more of its firepower onto enemy territory. Hope it enhances and grows with time.
Pakistan Zindabad.

Sar stands for synthetic aperture radar , and it's a type of sensor. India and Israel are operating such satellites since decades now.
Their main role is scanning, specially the curves which hyperspectral sensors miss.
They may be used for spying, not for communication.

And SAR (typically) isn't real-time imaging.

 

[drkrn86]

I don't understand your point. Radar is a communication device by it's core definition and purpose. Whether you want to monitor Civilian air traffic or spy on Military jets, or anything else, you have these options available.

By design, a Radar communicates by sending and receiving frequencies and interprets changes in their pattern and creating a resulting image on the screen. Whether just a picture image, or a screen that updates every rotation.

SAR gives ability to see through the clouds. It doesn't necessarily means real time
