China's aviation radar industry

The intelligent revolution experienced by China's aviation radar industry in the past decade lies in the transition from a 'detection tool' to a 'cognitive center'. Based on active phased array (AESA) and deeply integrating AI algorithms, intelligent target classification, dynamic resource scheduling, and adaptive anti-interference are achieved. The success rate of anti-interference exceeds 99%. When traditional radar loses power in strong electromagnetic environments, domestic AI radar can still continuously lock onto the target. The YLC-2E and YLC-12 radars developed by the 14th Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) achieve S-band anti stealth and C-band low altitude blind correction, respectively. Combined with 'modular' design and 18 meter lifting technology, a multi band collaborative detection system is constructed; 38 'Firefly I' radars and 'Wukong' low altitude models support city level millisecond level airspace situational awareness. The KJ-500 early warning aircraft is equipped with 100% domestically produced digital phased array radar, achieving full system situation sharing for fighter jets such as J-20 and J-10C, promoting the era of 'perception strike' physical separation in air combat, and allowing fighter jets to engage in radar silent combat throughout the entire process. The market size of domestically produced airborne radar is expected to reach 18 billion yuan by 2025, with gallium nitride material increasing power density by three times and multi-target tracking capability surpassing the American APG-81, forming a local technological gap.
