Description

The GNEYS-5S is a Soviet airborne target detection (search) radar.

Vehicles equipped with this radar

General info / usage

The GNEYS-5S only a target detection radar, so cannot track targets or provide a lead indicator. It does not scan for targets; instead radar blips update instantly and continuously on the radar display, providing an accurate indication of where the targets are. As a trade-off, the radar has a short range of only 8 km and relatively narrow detection angles. Due to the high amount of ground clutter the radar receives, and the band width, the radar is only useful at high altitude.

Comparison with analogues

Compared to other target detection radars the GNEYS-5S has a poor detection range of only 8 km. It also has a fairly poor ±30° azimuth scan angle, but the elevation scan angle (±20°) is very good. The radar display also update instantly unlike most other radars.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Instantly updating radar display

Cons:

  • Poor range of 8 km
  • Easily cluttered
  • Low radar band

History

The GNEYS-5S was developed in 1944 by V. Tikhomirov. It had two different displays, one for the pilot which directed him towards the target and one for the radar officer who got a bigger overview.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
