Turkey and South Korea have shown interest in buying the Flying Aircraft Radar signature Acquisition and Determination (FARAD), an electromagnetic measurement radar system produced by IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi SpA, the company told Jane’s .
FARAD is designed to perform dynamic Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements of flying targets, with sensitivity suitable for measuring stealth platforms. The Italian Air Force Test Center is using this system through a service co-operation with IDS to assess the RCS of some of its aircraft.
The system is designed to perform dynamic RCS measurements of high-speed low observable flying targets from aircraft and helicopters to small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
