Recently, the domestic defense industry has launched many generations of modern radar realm both active and passive.

According to figures published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute - SIPRI of Vietnam, Vietnam has been in the payroll of the extremely advanced Vera-NG passive radar complex produced by the Czech Republic.

Parameters provided by the ERA as CA Company of OMNIPOL Group (Czech Republic), the Vera-NG passive radar operates in all weather conditions, has a reconnaissance range of 400 km with an error of 20 m, stick close to 200 targets simultaneously with parameter update time: 1 - 5 seconds.

With advanced technology and reconnaissance methods, they can "see" the B-2 stealth aircraft from a distance of 250 km, helping the air defense units to actively change their combat readiness state first at least 10 minutes.

Despite being a modern product, which is considered a leading product in the segment, this weapon still has a disadvantage as an imported product, which does not guarantee absolute confidentiality because the specification has been made public.


Therefore, the need to localize and create a passive radar station with similar features has been urgently set. Given the current level of Vietnamese science and technology, this task is not difficult.

Not long ago, the first image of a mobile radar station using active phase array antenna technology (AESA) manufactured by Vietnam appeared, creating a premise for our own production. Passive electronic reconnaissance stations like the Vera-NG.

Not to wait long, recently the special equipment made by Vietnam in the country has started to undergo testing, observing outside can realize its shape quite similar to Vera-NG, here most likely due to localization.

Besides, it can be seen that Vietnamese products are much more mobile and compact, when the entire complex is folded into a container and mounted on the chassis of the tractors, making it easy to take to the different battlegrounds.

With recent successes in manufacturing radar types, we can think of the prospect that after producing enough quantities to meet domestic requirements, Vietnam will move to export to get more money. reinvestment in national defense activities.
