China Electronics Technology Group Corp, a major player in the global radar industry, unveiled more than 100 advanced radar systems at the 11th World Radar Expo, underscoring its strength in early warning, intelligence reconnaissance, and electronic countermeasures.
The three-day event, which opened Saturday in Hefei, Anhui province, showcases the state-owned conglomerate's latest achievements in radar technology, according to the company.
Among the highlights is the JY-11 S-band three-face array low-altitude surveillance radar, described as a "world-class counter-drone product." The system employs advanced digital array and software-defined radar technologies and is capable of detecting and tracking fighter jets, low-altitude cruise missiles, and micro or small drones. It features high tracking accuracy, automated operation, and adaptability for multiple missions, providing guidance for photoelectric systems and precision radars.
Another standout system, the YLC-12 C-band low-to-medium altitude multirole radar, is designed to detect low-flying, slow-moving, and highly maneuverable targets. Its intelligent anti-jamming capabilities enable it to operate effectively in complex electromagnetic environments.
The JYL-1 long-range three-dimensional surveillance radar is engineered for unattended operation and is suited for deployment in challenging environments such as plateaus, deserts, and islands. The JY-26 radar, with a detection range of 500 kilometers, serves as a cornerstone for long-range air defense, while the JY-27A — known as a "stealth jet killer" — is designed to survive attacks from anti-radiation missiles.
The YLC-16 S-band three-dimensional surveillance radar, featuring a modular design and active phased array system, allows for rugged deployment and remote control. Meanwhile, the SLC-2E multirole weapon-locating radar demonstrated 360-degree threat detection capabilities, achieving a leading position domestically and meeting globally advanced standards.
Also on display was the YLC-8E UHF-band 3D radar, which offers anti-stealth capabilities and automatic deployment for enhanced long-range tracking of stealth aircraft. The SLC-7, a fourth-generation intelligence radar, can track a wide range of targets — from stealth jets to artillery — and is noted for its strong multifunctional performance.
Beyond the defense sector, CETC also presented its non-coherent scattering radar in Hainan, which monitors ionospheric electrons at altitudes of up to 1,000 kilometers. The company's civil aviation products include air traffic control radars and the C-band all-digital active phased array weather radar deployed at Beijing Daxing International Airport, which provides real-time meteorological data with a 75-meter resolution.
For disaster prevention, CETC's S-, C- and X-band phased array weather radars are used to deliver early warnings for storms and earthquakes. Its ground-penetrating radars are also employed in infrastructure inspections and life detection missions. Notably, CETC's technology helped rescue 21 survivors during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
