Performance Parameters
The YLC-6 radar operates in the S-band (E/F-band frequencies, approximately 2-3 GHz), enabling reliable performance in various environmental conditions. It features a fully coherent solid-state transmitter with a peak power output of 180 kW, supporting high-resolution detection through advanced digital signal processing. It is a 2D surveillance radar.[4]Detection capabilities are optimized for medium-range surveillance, achieving a range of 3 to 150 km against targets with a radar cross-section (RCS) of 2 m², under conditions of 80% probability of detection (Pd) and a false alarm rate (Pfa) of 10⁻⁶. The maximum instrumented range extends to 180 km for high-flying aircraft. Coverage includes full 360° azimuth rotation and elevation angles from 0° to 40°, with a maximum detection height of 10,000 m. These parameters support effective low-altitude performance, as demonstrated in tests where the radar detected and tracked an AH-64 Apache helicopter at 30 km.[4]Accuracy is characterized by a range resolution of 150 m and an azimuth resolution of 1.5°. The system incorporates moving target detection (MTD) processing for clutter rejection and enhanced target discrimination. While specific simultaneous tracking capacity is not detailed in primary sources, the radar’s digital processor enables automatic target plotting for multiple air tracks in operational scenarios.[4]
Mobility and Operational Setup
The YLC-6 radar is engineered for enhanced tactical mobility, mounted on a wheeled chassis such as a 6-wheel truck that enables effective navigation over rough and varied terrain.[2]Rapid deployment is a key attribute, with setup time of 8 minutes and teardown time of 6 minutes, supported by automatic hydraulic leveling and GPS-based north finding for efficient site preparation and repositioning.[4] These features allow the radar to support dynamic air defense scenarios requiring frequent movement to evade detection or adapt to battlefield changes. The system requires a minimal crew, aided by automated processing and solid-state components that streamline tasks.[4]The radar demonstrates strong environmental resilience, functioning reliably in adverse weather conditions, with weatherproof design elements providing protection against dust, moisture, and clutter-heavy environments。
