Asr (radar)

Asr (Persian: رادار عصر‎ Radar) is an Iranian passive electronically scanned array long-range radar unveiled in 2013.[1][2][3] The Air Surveillance Radar or ASR is a 3-D solid state phased array radar, capable of detecting boats, low flying aircraft with a radar cross section (RCS) of 4 m2 (43 sq ft) at a range of 5–110 nmi (6–127 mi; 9–204 km).[4] The radar is jointly designed and built by the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy and the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics (Iran).

Specifications

The indigenous ASR naval radar uses a passive electronically scanned array, which can be deployed on shore or on ships, making it less vulnerable to anti-radar missiles that use radar signals to home in on their target.[5][6][7]

Ceremony

The "Asr" radar was unveiled at a ceremony attended by Deputy Supreme Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy commander in 2013.[4]
