Iran designing radar system able to target cruise missiles: Iranian general
TEHRAN, Sept.20(MNA)-- Iran is designing a new radar system which is able to counter cruise missiles, Brigadier General Behrooz Jahedi of the Khatam-ol-Anbiya military base said.
The low-flying and long range aircraft as well as cruise missiles can be identified and targeted by the radar system, Jahedi told .
The new radar system with a range of 3000 kilometers can cover areas beyond the region, he noted.
He went on to say that Iran has designed a GPS jammer that can redirect cruise missiles.
The Air Force commander had previously said the Precision Approach Radar (PAR) system, which was designed and manufactured in the country, is ready to join Iran’s aerial fleet.
PAR is a type of radar guidance system designed to provide lateral and vertical guidance to an aircraft pilot for landing, until the landing threshold is reached. After the aircraft reaches the decision height (DH) or decision altitude (DA), guidance is advisory only.
Controllers monitoring the PAR displays observe each aircraft’s position and issue instructions to the pilot that keep the aircraft on course and glidepath during final approach.
