Surveillance radar RAVEN ES-05

for aircraftX-band

The Raven ES-05 radar for the Gripen E is a wide field of regard system optimised for multi-role/swing role operations. The system features a comprehensive mode suite for both A/A and A/G including interleaved operation, and has high availability and reliability. RAVEN ES-05 is a high performance AESA radar designed for the Saab Gripen NG swing role fighter that builds on over 60 years of fire control radar experience. RAVEN ES-05 has been designed in close collaboration with Saab. RAVEN ES-05 features an innovative roll-repositionable AESA antenna to provide a full ±100º field of regard allowing maximum situational awareness and platform survivability. This Wide Field of Regard (WFoR) allows the aircraft to turn away after missile launch, whilst still maintaining datalinks to the missile. The highly reliable AESA transmit-receive module technology incorporated in RAVEN ES-05 significantly improves system availability leading to reduced lifecycle costs. RAVEN ES-05 is part of a family of AESA Radars delivering greater performance and higher reliability than comparable mechanically scanned radars and offers all the advantages of multi-function AESA arrays with significant through life cost savings. KEY FEATURES The RAVEN ES-05 Radar has been designed from the outset to meet worldwide fire control radar detection and target tracking needs combined into one efficient modular system. The RAVEN ES-05 builds on common modular units for a scaleable system architecture to meet the needs of fire control and intercept radar operational requirements whilst remaining resistant to radar countermeasures.
