El radar AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) y su tecnología se aplicará a la mayoría de los próximos programas de defensa de Corea del Sur, como FFX Batch III, KDDX, KF-21 y L-SAM. El nuevo radar de Hanwha Systems mejorará las capacidades operacionales antiaéreas y antibuque.

El ejército coreano y la DTaQ (Agencia de Defensa para Tecnología y Calidad) explicaron que los buques anteriores y sus sistemas de radares giratorios no resultaban del todo eficaces para detectar amenazas aéreas entrantes, como aviones de combate y misiles a muy alta velocidad, por lo que Corea del Sur desarrolló su propio radar no giratorio AESA.

Dentro del propio país y en el extranjero hubo preocupaciones de que el desarrollo y despliegue de radares AESA en Corea del Sur era un desafío después de que Estados Unidos se negara a proporcionar a la transferencia técnica de conocimientos relacionados con AESA, pero Corea se ha convertido en el 12º país del mundo que desarrolló su propio radar AESA en 2020, cuatro años después de que la ADD (Agencia para el Desarrollo de la Defensa) y Hanwha Systems iniciaran sus proyectos de desarrollo. El desarrollo inicial del radar AESA por parte de Hanwha Systems fue para el proyecto de caza furtivo conocido como KF-21.

“SPEIR provides a 360-degree EO/IR suite of sensors to enable passive detection and tracking of maritime threats and significantly improve shipboard situational awareness,” said Rachel Cosgray, a program manager with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). “Passive threat detection will allow ships to reduce the use of radars and other active systems that can be detected by adversaries. The improved situational awareness will also help to improve international relations by providing recorded documentation of any actual or perceived incidents at sea.”

Current EO/IR sensors were designed with a single mission, or supporting a specific weapon system, in mind. SPEIR is designed to support a wide variety of tasks for defending the vessel and ship operations, including providing alerts and warnings to various operators and supporting navigation while leveraging state-of-the-art EO/IR technology for high sensor performance.

Estas cosas me molan.

Lo de superresolución ya no es magia en estos momentos, pero en video no tanto. Se obtiene procesando varias imágenes seguidas de la misma toma y con los cálculos pertinentes(que me pierdo) sobre el desplazamiento a nivel subpixel (sic) y el número de imágenes suficientes se pueden obtener fácilmente los resultados. Si consigues que el algoritmo, una vez tengas la pila de imágenes suficientes, se ejecute con el HW&SW que puedas o te inventes en 1/30 de segundo...¡tadá! Ya tienes el video "near realtime". MOOOOOLA. Obviamente las zonas no comunes anteriores de la pila pierden calidad, pero siendo video se pueden hacer truquitos alimonándolo con los previamente creados y marranadas de software y algoritmia mas rarunos.
