Aiming at the radar vertical detection coverage limitation given by manufacturing factories, this paper put forwards a new characterization method of radar’s air surveillance coverage: it is the projection distance of furthest detection point for different RCS targets at different altitudes, which can directly show radar’s quick response to the attack action launched by fighter. Then this paper gives the calculating method of coverage characterization method, and calculates radar detection coverage of typical medium-low altitude search. The result shows that the detection ability to penetration fighter is weak for high altitude and below 300m altitude, especially for the high altitude penetration stealth fighter.
