The Elta 2052 is an X-Band airborne active electronically scanned array Fire Control Radar (FCR) designed for air-to-air superiority and strike missions based on fully solid-state Active Electronically Scanning Array (AESA) technology for fighter aircraft. It has been fitted for the SEPECAT Jaguar^[1] as part of Indian Air Force (IAF) DARIN III upgrade program.^[2] It has also been fitted for HAL Tejas,^[3] and described as suitable for use on the F-15, MiG-29, Mirage 2000 and FA-50 Block 20. The EL/M-2052 is an advanced Airborne Fire Control Radar (FCR) designed for air superiority and advanced strike missions.

The FCR is based on fully solid-state active phased array technology. The radar has multi-target tracking capability of up to 64 targets.^[4] The EL/M-2052 radar incorporates operational feedback from Israeli Air Force combat pilots.^{[citation needed]}

The radar introduces improvements to the air-to-air, air-to-ground and air-to-sea operation modes of the aircraft. In the air-to-air mode, the radar enables long-range multi-target detection and enables several simultaneous weapon deliveries in combat engagements.^[5]

In air-to-ground missions, the radar provides very high resolution mapping (SAR), surface moving target detection and tracking over RBM, DBS and SAR maps in addition to A/G ranging. In Air-to-Sea missions the radar provides long-range target detection and tracking, including target classification capabilities (RS, ISAR).^[6]

Controversy

A Chinese company, NAV Technologies in Beijing has marketed a radar similar to the 2052. It is said to have caused an investigation in Washington for a connection between Israel and Beijing. Elta denies this. No further news on this radar has been heard.^[7]
