The tactical radar system which can be installed and put into operation in a short period of time do not emit any radar waves and therefore cannot be detected by the enemy. That's why they are called Silent Radar Systems. Iran announced in August that it had started using new passive phased array radars to detect stealth targets and cruise missiles. Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli pointed to the designing and building of new passive phased array radars under the name of 'Silent Project', and said, "The radar is capable of detecting stealth (radar-evading) targets and cruise missiles and enjoys a high movement and mobility capabilities and acts in different ranges." In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems. Iran has made giant achievements in the production of telecommunication devices which work in various frequencies. The Iranian defense ministry has also produced home-made Radar systems with various ranges during the last few years. Iran has locally made radar systems with different ranges up to some 1,850 miles (3,000 kilometers). |
