As the ship's primary sensor the radar provides 3D long-range air surveillance. At medium range it will automatically track and classify threat and simultaneously, search the horizon for potential missile threats. In parallel, it supports multiple engagements by offensive and defensive weapons. Designated EL/M-2248 the radar system delivers high quality arena situation picture and weapons support, under the toughest target/environment conditions in the existing and future naval arena.Incorporating advanced technology and robust system architecture; the MF-STAR employs multi-beam and pulse Doppler techniques as-well-as robust ECCM techniques to extract fast, low RCS targets from complex clutter and jamming environments.EL/M-2248 - MF-STAR is a multi-function solid-state active conformal phased array radar system designed for the new generation of naval vessels designed for both Blue water and Littoral warfare. The system can operate in multiple functions simultaneously, delivering high-quality situation picture, supporting offensive weapons, while performing self-defense and battlegroup protection roles. MF-STAR employs multi-beam and pulse doppler techniques using advanced beam forming techniques embedded with robust ECCM techniques to extract fast, low RCS targets from complex clutter and jamming environments. The agile radar operates in multiple simultaneous modes, offering short search frames and Track While Scan (TWS) revisit time. The system also offers rapid tracking update rate and high accuracy for priority targets. The radar will automatically establish tracks of high flying targets at ranges beyond 250km and at low flying targets, at ranges above of 25 km.Weighing about seven tons, the radar uses four flat lightweight antennae operating in the S-band that can be tailored to fit even relatively small ships, from corvettes and above. Hardware architecture and technology ensure high system availability, low maintenance and low life cycle cost. For weapons guidance, MF-STAR Supports different operating modes of missile systems including mid-course guidance of active/semi-active anti-air missiles and Illumination enslavement for semi-active missiles, thus making dedicated guidance radar systems redundant. Also incorporates is an automatic splash detection and measurement, to support naval gunnery in maritime security and close-in defense role.This radar is currently under development, in anticipation for fielding with the Israel Navy next generation Saar 5+ corvette as well as with other modern vessels, planned for procurement or upgrading by foreign navies. The system is integrated as part of the advanced version of the Barak missile known as Barak-NG and Indian MR-SAM (also designated as Barak 8).Elta has already implemented its static phased array radar technology in several programs, including the Phalcon airborne early warning (AEW) system, as well as the early warning radar for the Arrow missile interceptor system, and the new artiller/air defense Multi-Mission Radar.<img src="http://defense-update.com/images_new/mf-star_scenario.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />--------------India, Israel to Jointly Pursue Medium-Range Air Defense MissileIndia and Israel agreed to jointly develop a new long range, land-based air defense system to replace the aging Pechora (SA-3 GOA) missiles currently in service with the Indian Air Force. Covering a range of 70 km, the new missile will extend the 60km range of the vertically launched <a href="http://defense-update.com/products/b/barak8.htm">Barak 8</a> shipborne missile (also known as Barak NG) currently being developed for the Indian and Israeli Navies under a US$480 million five year program launched in early 2006. The new system is expected to streamline with the original Barak 8 schedule, adding about $300 million to the program development cost. In its decision last week the Indian Government earmarked a total funding of about Rs10,000 crore (about US$2.5 billion) for the medium range surface-to-air missiles (MR-SAM) project. The program will include the deployment of up to nine air defense squadrons. <img src="http://defense-update.com/images_new/barak_ng.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Image: A view of the Barak NG. MR-SAM is expected to be longer and use slightly different aerodynamic design. (Photo: IAI)The MR-SAM development will be conducted under the bilateral agreement signed between the two countries, which will guide the scope of collaboration formulating between DRDO and IAI defined in a memorandum of agreement signed in New Delhi, June 2007. The Indian Air Force plans to reequip nine air defense squadrons with the new missile, each including two batteries comprising a multi-mission radar system performing target acquisition and guidance, command-and-control element and three container-launchers each mounting eight missiles.<img src="http://defense-update.com/images/Spyder1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> SPYDER SR SAMPrime contractor for the program will be the Indian DRDO, with IAI missile and space group acting as leading subcontractor with IAI's Elta Systems providing the radar and Israel's RAFAEL producing the interceptor missiles. According to the bilateral agreement, the Indians will be able to locally produce and support the systems. India has also concluded the acquisition of 18 <a href="http://defense-update.com/products/s/spyder.htm">SPYDER SR</a> quick reaction surface-to-air missile systems for point defense. The Spyder will be locally produced in India by Bharat Dynamics limited. The current contract worth is about Rs1,800 crore (US$450 million). India and RAFAEL are considering further derivatives of the systems to replace the Army's current aging air defenses, such as Tungushka and OSA-AK (SA-8). India has also expressed interest in acquiring the Israeli Arrow-II missile defense system, developed under an US-Israeli cooperation. India has already acquired the system's Green-Pine radar, developed exclusively with Israeli funding and, therefore, was unrestricted by US export approval. As for the export prospects of the Arrow, Israel hesitates to request export approvals for the system, and expects third parties, such as the Indians or Turks (also interested in the system) to approach the US State Department to endorse the system's export.<img src="http://defense-update.com/images/akash_ai07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Akash Missile SystemIn the past years the DRDO developed the Akash missile system, which was based on a system similar to the SA-6 Gainful, but despite the extensive effort invested in the program, Akash did not reach operational status. The new missile system will be based on the medium-range naval air defense missile currently under development for the Indian and Israeli Navies. The naval application of the missile will be integrated with the <a href="http://defense-update.com/directory/mf-star.htm">MF-STAR</a> phased array shipborne radar, which Elta claims to be superior to the SPY-1 AEGIS radar. Overall, the MF-STAR / Barak 8 combination is claimed to be superior to the leading US made systems such as AEGIS or Patriot PAC-3 missile systems.Fuente: <a href="http://defense-update.com/newscast/0707/news/150707_mrsam.htm">http://defense-update.com/newscast/0707/news/150707_mrsam.htm</a></blockquote>
