| Source measurement | — | The Chinese AWACS has a phased array radar (PAR) system carried in a disc-shaped radome . Unlike the American E-3 Sentry and the Russian Beriev A-50 , two AWACS aircraft comparable in size and both with a 9-metre-diameter (30 ft) rotating radome (rotodome) to provide 360‑ degree scanning, the radome of the Chinese AWACS is stationary. Instead, the three PAR modules are placed in an equilateral triangle configuration inside the 14-metre-diameter (46 ft) round radome, each covering a 120-degree spherical sector to provide full 360‑degree coverage.[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The radar is designated K/LLQF01 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. The multi-function, three-dimensional pulse-Doppler radar was developed by the Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology (NRIET), a subsidiary of the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC). It is designed to detect and track airborne and surface targets, operating in the frequency range of 1200–1400 MHz, and has a maximum aerial detection range of 470 km (290 mi).[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The PLAAF's first AWACS regiment was established at a small and remote airfield in southern China, for security reasons, during late 2004. The commander appointed to the regiment was Zhang Guangjian (张广建), a pilot with over 6,000 hours of flight time on various aircraft including the Il-76. The base was re-built and re-equipped for handling the KJ-2000, the first of which reached the base in 2005. A mixed fleet of KJ-2000 and the smaller KJ-200 have been operated at the base.[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Operational history; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In 2013, a 24-hour coverage drill was held using three KJ-2000s that covered northwest China, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea.[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Operational history; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Max takeoff weight: 175,000 kg (385,809 lb)[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Maximum speed: 850 km/h (530 mph, 460 kn)[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Range: 5,500 km (3,400 mi, 3,000 nmi)[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Endurance: 7 hours and 40 minutes[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Range against fighter sized targets: 470 km (290 mi; 250 nmi)[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Range against ballistic missiles: 1,200 km (750 mi; 650 nmi)[source]Shaanxi KJ-2000 · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
