re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer

I always wonder why no one has tried a fixed three array triangular configuration similar to that used on the KJ2000 AWACS. You could build the arranges length wise into a main sensor mast to achieve large array size while spreading the weight along the mast rather than have it all at the top.

Theoretically, this will give you the best of both worlds.


off the main axis of the planar array, the beam gets less resolution and power. energy per area.

that's phased array 101. you can compensate with a bigger array but still falls off rapidly at off axis.

Fords designer prob figured that since its primary mission for its radar system is volume/area search not fire control, and that this is a backup system anyways in instances where AWACS are not up, the less resolution is acceptable. and the weight savings of 3 vs 4 panels justifies the trade off in resolution.

I still think a rotating back to back SMART L would be nice for this application.

10日,由中国海军导弹驱逐舰兰州舰、导弹护卫舰柳州舰组成的舰艇编队与智利海军林奇号护卫舰、帕拉奇号护卫舰以及智方5架飞机进行了海上联合演习。   
当地时间上午11时30分(北京时间22时30分),参演的中智海军4艘舰艇在智利附近海域指定点会合,海上演习正式开始。记者在现场看到,演习海区浪高3到4米,风力超过每秒12米,参演的4艘舰艇在波峰浪谷间剧烈摇摆。在近三个小时的联合演习中,双方密切协同,相互转换指挥关系,先后进行了编队运动、通信操演以及协同防空等科目的演练。   
据了解,此次演习,中智海军在编队运动、灯光通信的基础上,进行了更深层次的协同防空操演。演练中,中国海军与智利海军舰艇密切协同,对智方4架PC-7模拟攻击的多批次攻击机进行了抗击,提高了双方舰艇的协同能力,进一步深化了两国海军间的军事合作。(来源:中国广播网 记者陶宏祥 特约记者曾行践)

PLAN destroyers, which included Lanzhou and Liuzhou, participated in a naval exercise with Chile on October 10th. Interestingly, Chile used 4 PC-7 attack planes to launch multiple waves of "aerial assaults" against the PLAN ships.

I suppose PLAN is trying to use the PC-7s to simulate Filipino attack planes?

. This stop should be after the fleet review.

I will include Type 054 FFG & a PLAN auxillary ship here as it it part of the exercise.
