054/A FFG Thread II
- Thread starter tphuang
- Start date
Seems like the different radar on 054A/P is confirmed (among some other sensor differences that seem apparent here).
I suppose question will be if the successive 20 054A production restarts for PLAN will also see this improvement as previously floated.

Here a new image of the first Pakistan Navy’s Type 054AP but - I'm indeed not a naval guy - can anyone identify the equipment - esp. the radar - installed? It looks different to those on PLAN Type 054As?!
I think it's a smaller version of the radar that's mounted on Type 052D, probably for better stealthy target detection. Maybe @Tam can help us here?
Note the right under @Tam's post about the CEC panels. Looks like a treasure trove of high-quality closeup photos for Type-054A. The photographer also told us the place, time when the photo was taken, and the ship's service number too, so it's really quite detailed.
I think there are some mislabeling on the photos and sadly there are not many interior photos, but considering it's a PLAN ship having high-quality close-ups is already a cause for celebration.

Export version of Type 517. Not sure if it still uses Type 517 name. It can go with an export name instead. Compared to Type 517, the elements are more closely spaced, so the frequency is a bit higher, but there are more elements. This new version on the 054A/P now has 2x8 elements, previously it has 2x6.
On the 053H3 given to Bangladesh, the original Type 517s were removed, and this new version are installed right in before they were given away.
The other radar appears to be SR2410C. SR would mean it is a Search Radar and the suffix may indicate it uses C-band. This was advertised to be an AESA.
On top of Bangladesh C13B, which is a Type 056 variant.

This bit of data isn't unknown, its been around for a while.
The problem is the local artists keeps drawing the ship the wrong way.
Originally this ship was derived from the 054AE, which is E for export. The original 054AE doesn't have the metric wave radar.
