RF missiles: US and Canada will create six firefighter radar on an area of ​​2500 ha

In general, the US military intends to build six enabled radar stations (OTHR) in the US and Canada, and the total area of ​​objects will be approximately 2500 hectares. About it reports Defense One. Raytheon Technologies, a representative of Raytheon Technologies, said that the initial architecture provides for the purchase of four long -range radars and two RLS with military Canada.

"For reasons of operational safety, we want to limit information about specific placement, but the first two systems are planned to be placed in the Northwest of the United States," said Air Force representative Anne Stefanek. Regarding the placement of new radar in Canada, they will probably be built in the province of Ontario, although the final decision to choose a place will be made by spring next year.

Viewers say that current American radars, designed to defense the country, have not been designed to detect the winged low -flight missiles that Russia used to attack Ukraine. North America Air Force Defense Command (Norad), a combined American-Canadian command that manages radars, has repeatedly received complaints about deficiencies in detection when it missed Chinese reconnaissance balls and other unknown objects that penetrated the aerial US space.

Therefore, the command hopes that the Construction Program of Construction Radars, which will be integrated with existing radars, will fill some of these gaps. "Othr will help fill the gaps in the existing infrastructure, allowing us to better identify and track threats, as well as combine this data into a global integrated picture that will provide the best options for persons who make decisions," the norad representative reads.

According to Ferraro, Russia has a "very urgent threat" that has not been in the past, and it is that Moscow can start the winged rocket over the North Pole through Canada and get into either Canada or in the United States. "Such rockets will be approaching at low altitude and will be able to maneuver in flight, which is significantly different from intercontinental ballistic missiles of ten years ago," Ferraro explained.

To detect them, it is planned to use the next generation enabled radar, which reflects the radio waves from the ionosphere, and does not look directly at the target. Thus, Otr is the only American radar that can meet the expected requirements of the program. Earlier it was reported that in order to protect the Crimean bridge from drones of drones, Russian designers have developed a compact radar station capable of detecting sea drones.
