Abstract:
The paper presents a review of the technological needs expected for next generation of AESA based airborne surveillance radar. On one side, the features and performances anticipated for future systems are presented, depending on their application, civil or military. On the other side, the technologies emerging to answer the challenges driven by future requirements are evaluated. The technologies are presented with respect to their availability, their maturity and their expected performance.
