Radar data from open source literature was used to create the database in 1965 and was subsequently moved from a manual to a computer-based system in 1984. Over the years it has continued to grow as more information has become available and currently contains over 23,500 lines of data, detailing more than 10,300 different types of radar and related systems deployed globally. It may be purchased through the contact address.

Radar

Compiled solely from open source literature, the REDB is, in military jargon unclassified and therefore will not infringe upon any aspect of national or military security.

note

The REDB consists of a series of identical two-dimensional files covering the parametric data of emitters manufactured in the following countries since 1940. Argentina, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, The Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, North Korea, Norway, Romania, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the U.S.A. Obsolete emitters are held in a separate file such that they may still be accessed for historical research.

The Radar Manufacturing World

Map

The emitters are defined by their parametric modes. Each line of data is a mode. There are 68 data fields and up to 25 data source fields. The data fields cover all transmitted parametric values in minimum and maximum terms, including intra-pulse information, along with each emitter's true identity, aliases, origin and manufacturer. Other fields cover platform installation, associated weapons, types of antenna, range and elevation achieved against specific target cross sections, and useful comments.

The data sets are carried as Microsoft Excel worksheets and all the tools applicable to Excel can be deployed.

Related platform databases are also available that contain global warships, auxiliaries, patrol vessels and submarines. These data sets carry individual platform identities by ownership, class, displacement, type, name and pennant number along with building time-scales, electronic warfare and radar equipment installations. The listing also includes projected requirements.

A major report on Chinese military radar systems has been prepared with a cut-off date of February 2008. It is presented in pdf format on CDROM and takes the form of a series of Chapters and Sections dealing with landbased, maritime, fixed and rotary wing airborne, missile head and satellite based systems. This report is extensively illustrated in full colour, has detailed emitter parameter data and is supported by 13 Annexures. All enquiries should be directed via the email address below.
