APY-9 Radar Overview

• Provides all-weather coverage and multimode airborne early warning (AEW) capability with significantly increased sensitivity, flexibility, and overall performance

• Selection of UHF makes the radar less vulnerable to incorporation of radar cross section reduction technology into targets now and in the future

• Space/time adaptive processing (STAP) provides superior clutter and interference cancellation to detect air, surface, and sea targets in hostile environments

• Automatically adapts to clutter and interference in land, littoral, and sea environments

• The radar simultaneously detects air and surface targets in each of three scanning modes:

A full mechanical scan capability, providing full 360-deg coverage for either 10- or 12-sec scan rate at operator’s choice

A combined mechanical/electronic scan rate mode of operation that provides the radar subsystem capability to electronically steer the antenna main beam off the physical boresite of the antenna as the antenna is mechanically rotated

Full electronic scan capability; the radar/
