[0002] In the future battlefield environment, it is complex and changeable, and various high-threat targets (miniaturization, stealth, high mobility, ultra-high speed, intelligence) are emerging continuously. The combat form is evolving towards characteristics such as high confrontation, high coordination, and high dynamics. As a result, higher requirements are put forward for radar equipment in various aspects such as detection ability, multi-task integration, combat response efficiency, logistics maintenance convenience, systemized combat ability, independent controllability, resistance to harsh environments, and softwareization. This trend requires the radar to make innovations at the fundamental architecture level, and gradually integrate advanced independent controllable technologies such as stronger computing power and faster communication transmission.
