| Source measurement | — | The Beriev A-100 is a Russian -built airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft based on the Il-76MD-90A transport aircraft. This aircraft is developed to replace the Beriev A-50 in Russian Aerospace Forces service. Avionics and configuration will be similar to the A-50U, but with a new Vega Premier Active Phased Array Radar .[source]Beriev A-100 · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The A-100 is also known as the Izdeliye PM, and is planned to reinforce and then replace Russia's current fleet of Beriev A-50 AEW&C aircraft. Its development contract was signed in 2006 with the Vega Radio Engineering Corporation . The aircraft is based on the improved Il-76MD-90A (Il-476), which is equipped with new PS-90A-76 turbofan engines that are 15% more powerful than the D-30KP used by the Il-76. The external shape of the A-100 will be similar to the A-50, with the main radar array housed in a rotating dome mounted on two struts above the fuselage. The new Vega Premier AESA radar in the dome will have electronic steering in elevation while azimuth is controlled by the rotation of the dome. The array would rotate once every 5 seconds, thus improving the radar's ability to track fast moving targets. In addition to the new radar, the A-100 will have a new electronic warfare suite, a new navigation system, and new communication systems, including a satellite communication antenna.[source]Beriev A-100 · Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage It can detect aerial targets more than 600 kilometres (370 mi) away and warships nearly 400 kilometres (250 mi) away.[source]Beriev A-100 · Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In April 2020, it was said by a source in the Russian military industry that Russia's Aerospace Forces would begin taking delivery of the new Beriev A-100 in 2024, to complement and eventually replace the existing Beriev A-50 and A-50U AEW planes in the Aerospace Forces' inventory.[source]Beriev A-100 · Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Length: 46.59 m (152 ft 10 in)[source]Beriev A-100 · Specifications (Il-476); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Wingspan: 50.5 m (165 ft 8 in)[source]Beriev A-100 · Specifications (Il-476); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Height: 14.76 m (48 ft 5 in)[source]Beriev A-100 · Specifications (Il-476); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Wing area: 300 m 2 (3,200 sq ft)[source]Beriev A-100 · Specifications (Il-476); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Powerplant: 4 × Aviadvigatel PS-90-76 turbofan engines, 142 kN (32,000 lbf) thrust each[source]Beriev A-100 · Specifications (Il-476); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Maximum speed: 900 km/h (560 mph, 490 kn)[source]Beriev A-100 · Specifications (Il-476); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
