“Saab’s radar upgrading approach is a proven and effective way to extend the service life of existing air surveillance radars.”

The upgraded radars will be delivered during the period between 2017 and 2020.

The SINDRE I is a ground-based S-band long-range, passive phase array radar designed to perform air surveillance in three dimensions.

The antenna uses pencil beams for transmit and reception to achieve the necessary angular coverage.

The SINDRE I radar signal processor replacement (SPR) is located in the display shelter and includes a high-performance programmable digital signal processor (DSP) subsystem and a radar controller (RC) subsystem with serial interface unit (SIU) hardware and integral power supplies.
