What are the basic requirements and implementation methods of radar support?

The basic requirement of radar support is to improve efficiency and reliability. The main ways to improve efficiency are to rationally allocate radar troops, establish radar fields according to the required parameters, and strictly implement the combat duty system.

The methods to improve the reliability mainly include carefully organizing the work of the command and communication system, coordinating the actions among the radar troops, the combat squad of the air defense missile troops and the air defense aviation, cooperating with the air traffic control department, the airspace control department and the civil aviation system in time, identifying and notifying all the aircraft operating in the combat airspace in time and correctly, and improving the survivability of the radar troops and the anti-interference ability of the radio electronic equipment.

Guarantee and guide aviation operations.

The purpose of radar soldiers supporting and guiding aviation operations is to ensure aviation command, guide their own aircraft to perform combat tasks and ensure flight safety.

When ensuring and guiding fighter planes to take off and sail, they should provide remote information in time, find incoming air targets as soon as possible, especially determine the number and altitude, and pay attention to receiving the notice of their own planes taking off. While constantly measuring and predicting the incoming targets, we should master our own sailing aircraft in time. Constantly measure the height and formation of incoming targets, closely search the air above the airport and around your own aircraft, and immediately report the enemy situation that threatens the safety of your own aircraft.

When ensuring and guiding fighters to meet the enemy attack, we should use the main guidance radar and early warning aircraft to grasp the situation of both sides at the same time, so as to improve the accuracy and density of prediction; Pay attention to the opportunity to find the target maneuvering and leaving the formation, distinguish between the enemy and ourselves at any time, and prevent mixed batch and wrong batch; Grasp the follow-up echelon of both sides in time and change the protection focus in time.

Ensure that when guiding fighters to return and land, accurately distinguish their own aircraft and determine their number; Pay attention to identify and master the aircraft left behind, lost or otherwise abnormal; Closely search the enemy situation over the landing airport and alternate field and around the returning plane to prevent the enemy from sneak attack and ensure the safe return and landing of our plane.

When guiding bombing, assault, reconnaissance and transport aircraft to perform combat tasks, the radar along the way should be organized to continuously grasp the position of the aircraft to ensure that it flies to the target accurately; Closely search for enemy planes around and in the direction of their own aircraft and over the target area to ensure that they are guided to take timely measures to deal with enemy planes; Master your own aircraft to carry out low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude activities in the target area; We should work closely with the army and navy radar forces to organize forward radar stations and aerial observation posts to strengthen the search for low altitude.

Ensure the combat operations of ground-to-air missile units.

The purpose of radar soldiers supporting ground-to-air missile forces in combat operations is to support the command of ground-to-air missile forces and send out accurate air information on the designated border in time so as to indicate the target to ground-to-air missiles.

The main contents include: ensuring that surface-to-air missiles can find targets at the shooting distance of the far boundary of the kill zone; The accuracy of measuring the coordinates and motion parameters of air targets should ensure effective shooting command and shooting at air enemies; Radar information should include the general air information data of each surface-to-air missile theater. According to these data, the number, type and formation of targets, the interval and distance between targets, the battle formation, countermeasures and action attempts of air enemies can be determined. The reliability of reconnaissance data, including the reliability of determining the nationality of aircraft.

Ensure flight control and airspace control.

The purpose of ensuring flight control is to ensure that the relevant departments strictly control all flights within their own territory. Cooperate with the civil aviation system to master the situation of military and civil aircraft in the air, provide timely air information for relevant departments, and ensure airspace safety and flight safety; For special planes or aviation units to make transitions and fly on large routes, we should organize radars along the way to keep abreast of flight dynamics and constantly report the air situation to relevant departments to ensure their flight safety; In particular, pay more attention to the air conditions near national borders and coastlines; When finding and reporting yaw, loss, distress or other abnormal flight conditions, it shall immediately notify the relevant departments.

Ensure that the purpose of airspace control is to control flying objects in specific areas, near airports and battlefield airspace, and implement coordination, unification and adjustment. For example, the US military battlefield airspace control undertakes four inseparable tasks: air defense, air traffic control, tactical control and coordination of fire support, so as to maximize the combat effectiveness of all units in contract operations.

The organization and implementation of airspace control should depend on the specific situation. Usually, the commander in charge of air defense in this area serves as the air control director. Its radar support mainly consists of airborne early warning and control system, control and notification center, control and notification station and aviation front control station.
