PROVEN APAR ARCHITECTURE AND PERFORMANCEDeveloped in the late1990s,APARwas the first navalActiveElectronically ScannedArray (AESA) radar aswell as the firsttoperformsemi-activeICWIfirings.Inusewith3NATOnaviestoday,itrepresentsaprovensystemwithover50successful lifefiringsofESSMandSM-2.
VAST MISSILE FIREPOWERAPARBlock2defendsagainst saturationattacks in thehighestthreat scenarios by supporting many simultaneous AAW andASuWengagementswithbothactiveandsemi-activeguidanceusing ICWI.Firepower is limitedonlyby the rateoffireby thelauncher.ESSM,SM-2andRAMaresupportedaswellasESSMBlock2andthefutureStandardMissilefamilyusingthenovelJointUniversalWeaponLink( JUWL).
LOW ELEVATION AND MULTI-BEAM SEARCHAPARBlock2 leveragesX-bandpropagationcharacteristics forearly detection of small incoming low elevation targets in thelittoral. True digital beam forming enables multi-beam volumesearch. Low latencybetween initialdetectionandhighupdaterateweapons trackcreatesmaximumbattlespaceagainst seaskimmingmissiles.
MODULAR AND SCALABLE RADARAPAR Block 2 uses four independent antennas, each with ascalablenumberofsolid-stateT/Rmodules.Thisflexible,scalableandmodulardesignoffershighavailability,gracefuldegradationandlifecycleupgradability.Software-definedradarensuresfutureproofcapabilityupgrades.
SUITE PROCESSING INSIDEAPAR Block 2 is equippedwith Suite Processing allowing themergingwithSM400Block2 into theXS-Suite:asingle radarsystemwith4X-bandand4S-bandfaces.Strikingbenefitsare:
•Instant reaction against highest threat spectrum by avoidingcueinglatencies
APAR Block 2 is the new X-band multifunction radar and successor of the proven APAR. With true digital beam forming and gallium nitride amplifiers, it defends in the highest threat scenarios against the latest evolving threats. Featuring multi-beam volume search, horizon search, robust target tracking and unparalleled firepower with semi-active and active missiles.
