Introduction

Since the 1960s, after more than 40 years of efforts, Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA), often referred to as active phased array technology, has finally achieved successful applications on airborne radar.

International Online Report: A proposal by the US Defense Department's National Defense Science Committee's recommendations for the development of US military aircraft radars emphasizes that active phased array technology can greatly expand the capabilities of radars and improve radar performance. The radar of the fighter radar, early warning and surveillance aircraft should be the AESA system. In fact, in addition to the new generation of fighters such as the F-22 and F-35 equipped with AESA radars without exception, the US AESA improvements to third-generation active fighters, bombers, early warning and surveillance aircraft have been planned and The corresponding financial support. A common view in the industry is that from now on, there will be no place for manufacturers who do not master the manufacturing capabilities of AESA radar. In addition to the United States, Western countries such as Russia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Israel are also engaged in extensive cooperative development and substantial capital investment in this technology field.
