( KWIC Dec.23 Yihong Zhang ) China is in the process of working on the new generation of the multi-functional fire control radar system and the active radar-guided air-to-air missiles. No. 607 Institute (in Wuxi City of Jiangsu Province) is in charge of all the development work. With its export model named AMR1, the active radar-guided air-to-air missile can be launched over 100 kilometers away. In the meantime, No.607 Institute is also in the process of developing the new generation of the airborne pulse Doppler radar system. Equipped with the same flat plate antenna as the one used in the JL10A, the new radar system can track a maximum of fifteen targets and can attack four to six targets at the same time. With the maximum detection range of 104 kilometers, the fire control radar system can guide the AMR1 long-range air-to-air missiles. No.607 Institute has also developed the JL10A pulse Doppler fire control radar system which is installed in the JH7/FBC1 fighter bomber. When the system is used to search a target, its look-up range is 80 kilometers while its look-down range 54 kilometers. When tracking a target, the system has its look-up range of 40 kilometers and its look-down range of 32 kilometers. Its scan volume azimuth is +/-60 degrees and its working frequency is X wave band. With a total of eleven working patterns, the system is able to simultaneously track four targets in the space. In addition, it can also guide the semi-active radar-guided missiles produced in Russia, like the R27 etc..
