Kasta 2E2 (Squat Eye E) Russian 6x6 Low-Altitude All-Around 3-D Surveillance Radar System

The Kasta-2E2 (Squat Eye E) Russian 3D surveillance radar is designed to conduct air surveillance, find range, azimuth, altitude, and track air targets like airplanes, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles, including low- and extremely low-level and stealthy air targets, in a heavy clutter environment. The Kasta-2E2 low-altitude 3D all-round surveillance radar is designed to control airspace and to perform automatic detection, range/azimuth/altitude measurements and flight path characteristics of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles, including low-flying, terrain-hugging, and stealth ones, in conditions of intensive clutter reflections from a background surface, local objects and weather formations. The Kasta-2E2 mobile automated solid-state low-altitude radar can be integrated into various military and civil-purpose systems used for air defense, coast and border control, air traffic control, and air operations control in aerodrome zones. The radar features a modular design with a solid-state emitter, digital data processing and automated operation, built-in functional testing system, a 14-m antenna tower to detect very low-flying air targets, high degree of immunity to interference from neighboring electronic assets when operating in close formations (protection rate – up to 50 dB). The Kasta-2E2 radar comprises a hardware vehicle, an antenna vehicle, a diesel-electric power plant mounted on all-terrain wheeled chassis; two single-axle trailers carrying auxiliary equipment; a remote workstation enabling radar control from a distance of up to 300 m. The radar can detect small-size targets, including low-speed ones, at great distances. It is a jam-immune, reliable, easy, and safe to operate and maintain asset that can be shipped by various transportation means. At customer request, a containerized radar variant can be supplied to operate with its antenna mounted on an Unzha-type mast. The radar features long detection ranges for small-sized low-level targets, including low-speed ones, and good jamming immunity. It is economic, reliable, operationally safe, and easy to maintenance. It can be carried by various means of transportation.

It has better performance characteristics than its predecessor Casta-2E1 , while retaining the advantages of the previous model. Applications include air defense, border surveillance and air traffic control. Aircraft, hovering helicopters, drones, cruise missiles even at low altitudes, and sea targets are detected. The advantages over its predecessor are that the data is received and processed in two channels, making it possible to measure an approximate altitude of the target. A plotextractor has been integrated which digitally processes the radar data and automatically detects objects, identifies them and measures their coordinates. Another innovation is the quickly mountable high mast, which offers an antenna height of 14 m and thus facilitates site selection. To increase the detection range against low-flying targets, the antenna can optionally be operated on a 50 m high mast. The integrated radio channel allows data transmission over a distance of up to 50 km. The system can be remotely operated from up to 300 m by wire. The complete system consists of electronic vehicle, antenna vehicle as well as a vehicle with the electric aggregates. The operator workstations, accessories and spare parts are located in 2 single-axle trailers. A remote operator station can be operated up to 300 m away from the system.
