Structure Type: Low-frequency / long-range air surveillance radar station, consisting of a large array of inline Yagi-type or dipole antennas mounted on a central lattice tower.
Description and Components:
Horizontal Linear Array: Features a long central boom or pole supported by a vertical metal lattice tower, upon which multiple pairs of radiating elements (directional Yagi antennas or dipole curtains) are symmetrically spaced. Support and Rotation Tower: Mounted on a tall lattice structure that allows elevation of the assembly to minimize ground interference and facilitate horizontal rotation for airspace scanning.
Summary and Military Utility
Long-Range Surveillance and Early Warning: Designed for the long-distance detection of aircraft operating in specific frequency bands, making it highly effective for general surveillance coverage and military air traffic control. Resilience and Specialized Detection: Large antenna arrays of this type are frequently used for early aerial target detection, offering robustness against certain electronic jamming due to their frequency characteristics.
