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.

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:

  • Easily cluttered

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.
