Device for radar systems control

The purpose and range of application

Control console for radar complex is designed for control of radar complex operation, processing and displaying of data of active and passive radar channels.

Both active or separate passive radar channels, and combined operation of channels are available.

Control console provides the following:

• Initial start and test of computing system of the complex
• Loading of operation software and setting up of the assigned state of the complex
• Radar devices control
• Interaction with external systems through code and relay channel
• Generation and displaying of image on data carrier
• Active channel — all-round surveillance, on scale 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 miles of precision coordinates of fixed range rings, graduate scale, ship heading line and digital value of heading, target log books, etc.
• Passive channel — panoramic target detection, accurate bearing, summary target log book classification
• Generation and displaying of electronic control panels with electronic buttons and dialog windows
• Intersection with physical control panel
• Generation and storage of target database.

Control console is represented as a local area network Ethernet with 4 computers with open architecture:

• Computer 1 — provides receiving and processing of data of active channel of the radar complex, displaying information as well as its storage and software into other complex’s computers.
• Computer 2 — provides receiving and processing of data of passive channel of the complex, displaying information as well as storage of database, documenting of information.
• Computer 3 — provides relay exchange control with external systems as well as Human-Machine interface by interaction with electronic and physical radar panels.
• Computer 4 — provides code exchange control with external systems as well as interaction with electronic control panel of the Radar.
• All computers have processor modules, memory and interface devices.
