[K디펜스] 200km 밖에서 1㎡ 물건 탐지..'세계 톱5' 반열 / 머니투데이방송

"South Korea has finally joined the ranks of elite fighter nations." This is the assessment recently presented by foreign military media outlets as they focus on the domestically produced AESA radar, the APY-016K, which is installed on the KF-21 Borame. The argument is that South Korea has risen to the ranks of "elite fighter nations" by independently developing AESA fire control radars for fighter jets, a capability previously possessed by only a handful of nations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Israel. According to a report by Defense Security Asia (DSA) on the 6th, the APY-016K has emerged as a key element poised to change the strategic landscape of the Indo-Pacific air power competition. The APY-016K is an AESA radar jointly developed by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and Hanwha Systems for the Korean fighter jet, the KF-21 Borame. AESA radars are advanced radars that electronically steer beams using thousands of transmit/receive modules, and are considered a core piece of equipment that determines the performance of modern fighter jets.
