| - All Sensor systems and command and control systems utilize a commond interface and can be linked together via fiber optics and encrypted wireless datalinks. This allows various systems to interface with the S-500 system, be they AWACS or the ground radar systems.Electro-Optic/IRST turret with Telescopes
High sensitivity argon-cooled IRST telescopes paired with Electro-Optic systems. Often deployed around a RADAR site to seek out any stealth objects. Telescopes are used for visual identification by operators.APAR-VSR-1 S-Band Radar
Volume Search AESA radar, with up to 10MW of peak power and tuned to the S-Band. The system also has a smaller version with slightly fewer radar elements which is deployed on frigates, which delivers 5MW peak power instead. It has about 6000-8000 elements. Mod II of the program will see the radar receive upgrades to sensitivity and signal processing to better detect stealth objects at further range and also better ECCM capabilities.APAR-VSR-1 L-Band Radar
Volume Search AESA radar, delivering 10 MW peak power and tuned to the L-Band. It is mounted on a raised platform, has two sides, and rotated to provide 360 degrees search. Each side has about 6000-8000 elements. The system also has a smaller version with slightly fewer radar elements which is deployed on frigates. Mod II of the program will see the radar receive upgrades to sensitivity and signal processing to better detect stealth objects at further range and also better ECCM capabilities.APAR-MFR-1 X-Band Radar
Multifunction AESA radar, delivering up to 10MW peak power and tuned to the X-Band. The system also has a smaller version with slightly fewer radar elements which is deployed on frigates which delivers 5MW peak power. It has about 6000-8000 elements. Mod II of the program will see the radar receive upgrades to sensitivity and signal processing to better detect stealth objects at further range and also better ECCM capabilities.APAR-ABM-1 X-Band Radar
ABM X-Band Radar designed to provide search for Ballistic Missiles, and to provide the necessary guidance. Total Power: ~10MW. It is a 9.2 meter square antenna with 25,344 AESA modules.APAR-VHF Radar
AESA VHF Radar for the expressed purpose of detecting stealth objects. Can be used together with more systems to form a multi-static array to achieve better detection. Mod II of the program will see the radar receive upgrades to sensitivity and signal processing to better detect stealth objects at further range and also better ECCM capabilities.APAR-DM UHF/EHF
AESA EHF/UHF Dual mode Radar for the expressed purpose of detecting stealth objects. It is a larger scale radar than the Point Defence version. Mod II of the program will see the radar receive upgrades to sensitivity and signal processing to better detect stealth objects at further range and also better ECCM capabilities.APAR-PD Dual Mode UHF/VHF K-Band
AESA UHF/VHF K-Band Dual mode Radar for the expressed purpose of detecting stealth objects. It is largely for point defence use, hence PD. Mod II of the program will see the radar receive upgrades to sensitivity and signal processing to better detect stealth objects at further range and also better ECCM capabilities.Electronic Surveillance System
Passive Electronic Surveillance System to pick out any EM emissions. Extensively used for many other applications as well.LIDAR
Prototype LIDAR system, drawing upon the FEL laser program. Expected testing to begin in 2018-19. To be deployed in an array of turrets.S-500 Command Vehicle
An S-500 Command Vehicle is the heart of the system. Featuring Common Off the Shelf components, the Command Vehicle offers high speed processing and high bit rate datalinks in the order of terabytes. All components of the S-500 system utilize fiber optics and encrypted RF datalinks for connections, and also datalinks to AWACs aircraft for cooperative engagement capability with the engagement radar. This also allows the system to be able to track multiple targets, and also deal with ground clutter and ECM. The system will continually receive upgrades, and Mod II of the system will see greater signal processing and data transfer rates. It can provide ABM guidance similar to that of the S-300VM.S-500 ABM Command Vehicle
The S-500 ABM Command Vehicle is to provide the necessary processing and command and control for the ABM components of the system. It is similar to the S-500 Command Vehicle.S-500F Battle Management System
The naval version of the S-500 system, the system combines the APAR-1-VSR L-band and S-band and APAR-1-MFR X-band system. A typical setup would be 3 APAR-VSR-1 S band and 3 APAR-MFR-1 X-band radars. A pair of APAR-VSR-1 L-band radars can be added and mounted on a rotating platform for longer range detection. It is optimised for littoral operations, and also against missile saturation attacks, as well as stealth aircraft detection. The system has been trialed and actively deployed. Further the system has been developed for frigate and corvette use, namely the S-500F-F and S-500F-C system that utilizes a L-band/S-band and X-band radar. The system will continually receive upgrades, and Mod II of the system will see greater signal processing and data transfer rates.
