The RP-6PA precision approach radar is equipped with the latest technologies. The radar provides comprehensive information necessary for precise control of all types of aircraft for landing – the information about accurate aircraft position, and current deviation from the required descent path in azimuth and elevation.
The system uses fully solid state technology and phase antenna arrays with electronically scanned beams. When the antenna is suitably located, the user can operate more runways according to ICAO requirements, with the time necessary for changing the landing direction shorter than 1 minute. The radar can be operated in very adverse climatic conditions. The digital processing of received signal uses modern Doppler methods. Detected targets are displayed on large-format screen. The radar is equipped with an efficient BITE diagnostic system. The radar system is suitable for continuous operation. Its duplicated architecture and modular design provide high reliability not requiring permanent presence of technical personnel. Radar data, including voice communication, are stored in a PC based, large-capacity recording device.
