APAR is the world’s first naval AESA radar providing a ACTIVE PHASED ARRAY RADAR
hemispheric coverage out to 150 km. This system is capable • Largest number of simultaneous ESSM &
of searching, tracking and supporting many ESSM and SM-2 SM-2 engagements
engagements simultaneously, using the ICWI guidance mode. • Unrivalled horizon search detection performance
Any type of AAW engagement, including super-sonic high-divers, against sea skimming targets
super-sonic sea skimmers and stealth targets is supported. APAR • Graceful degradation due to modular architecture
has proven its system performance in more than 40 live firings! and redundancy

Graceful degradation due to modular architecture


and redundancy Installation data
APAR uses four independent antennas each housing thousands Weight above deck < 11 ton
active T/R-elements to obtain 360˚coverage in azimuth. Each
antenna, -with its associated equipment-, has the capability
to transmit, receive and process radar signals. Thanks to this
Technical Characteristics
modular design, -without single points of failure or moving
Coverage 360˚(azimuth) x 85˚(elevation)
parts-, APAR offers high availability and ‘graceful degradation’.
Frequency band X-band, Active Electronic
Main Features Scanning Array (AESA)
• Automatic and simultaneous performance of search,
track and weapon control tasks
• Integrated search and track for high accuracy and
short reaction time
