Enhanced Gripen radar performance on the agenda as PS-05/A negotiations proceed
Article Abstract:
Ericsson Microwave Systems is negotiating with the Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV) for an upgrade of the PS-05/A radar which equips Swedish Air Force (SwAF) Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter aircraft in 2006. The upgrade would primarily address improvements in the PS-05/A performance in air-to-surface modes, and capabilities to be added include very high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR), enhanced ground moving-target indication/tracking (GMTI/GMTT) and automatic detection of stationary objects.
