Description

The Fan Song radars are capable of tracking six different targets at one time, and can guide up to three missiles at once. The radars feature two orthogonal antennas, one for azimuth and one for elevation, which can operate in a track-while-scan mode. These antennas fire 10 x 2 degree beams and perform a 'flapping' motion as they scan their sectors.

The Fan Song E includes two additional parabolic dishes for electronic counter-counter measure capability.
