JLP-40 Radar

The JLP-40 is a tactical air defense radar designed to use with height finding radars such as the JLG-43 Radar. It is similar in design to the Russian "Bar Lock" series radar and may have been derived from it as part of the sale of the SA-2 system from the Former Soviet Union in the early 1960s. It features the same arrangement of the two large scanners attached to front and ear sides of a rotating cabin that houses the transmitter/receivers.

Operating modes

The system operates in S-band and L-band, each parabolic scanner being illuminated by stacked horn feeds to generate families of multiple beams. There are five S-band transmitter/receivers and these are thought to operate with the lower of the two antennas, while the L-band feeds illuminate the upper scanner array. An IFF interrogator is incorporated in the system. Three PPI displays are available, one azimuth/range display and two to four additional PPI. MTI is provided in the L - band modules.

The whole system is air transportable but requires considerable time and effort to assemble/disassemble. It is being produced by the Chengdu Jin Jiang Electronic System Engineering Company.

gollark: If you send me a video I can complain about your thing remotely.
gollark: The big ones, obviously.
gollark: 13x13 has the advantage of being exactly the size of compact machines, you know.
gollark: If you think your base is messy, though, you should see my basement, although you should not see it because it is classified.
gollark: When playing modded, you either build a horrible messy base which works nicely, and intend to build a nice new base "later" but never do properly, or you burn out trying to make your regular base really nice.
