Abstract

The article explores All new generation fighters are built with Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, and many older fighters have been or are being retrofitted with AESA radars. Conventional mechanically-scanned (M-scan) fighter radars use a moving antenna, which is steered or repositioned mechanically in order to ‘steer' the radar beam. This requires complex and powerful mechanisms to move the antenna quickly and precisely, sometimes under high g-loadings.
