Radar Display System
BAE Systems radar display systems enhance radar presentation and skin paint for most existing weather avoidance and ground-mapping radars. They have the capability to integrate various avionics systems results in reduced operator workload and improved situational awareness. These highly reliable, fielded systems provide standard monochrome and color video.
Ground mapping – The display system, with its generic radar interface, greatly improves all aspects of ground mapping radar presentation, from searching for coast lines at 240 nmi to performing airborne radar approaches at 2.5 nmi.
Weather avoidance – The intensity-based, color weather radar presentation allows the pilot and navigator to determine the current weather situation with just a brief look.
Skin painting – The skin painting capability of the radar is greatly enhanced due to increased sensitivity, improved video bandwidth, and pulse-to-pulse integration processing.
Navigation system integration – A key feature of the radar system is its ability to interface with most aircraft navigational systems through either an ARINC standard serial bus or through a dual redundant MILSTD-1553B data bus.
With the navigational interface, aircraft data, such as true heading, ground speed, and track angle error, is displayed on both the navigator’s and the pilot’s display. The aircraft’s present position also is displayed, and the data is used to calculate the positions of ground targets identified by a moveable cursor. The cursor can be used to track a fixed point on the ground. Additionally, the navigational data interface also provides the option of stabilizing the radar display to True North.
Depending on the air navigation systems available, flight plan waypoints, and other navigational aids, can also be displayed. Data from other avionics systems, such as electronic warfare threats and threat zones, can be displayed or overlaid on the radar image.
Reliability – The radar display system has a demonstrated mean time between failures of greater than 2500 hours. In certain cases, the installation of the radar display system has also provided an improvement in the mean time between failures of the radar R-T.
