RWR: 10
THREAT: HIGH
ASSOCIATED SAM: S-300 / SA-10
In-DCS Unit View:
Originators Designation: 30N6E
NATO Reporting Name: Flap Lid
Description: An I/J-Band multi-function phased-array trailer-mounted engagement radar with digital beam steering for use with the SA-10 “Grumble” theatre defence missile. The operators and command staff for the SA-10 are positioned in a cabin to the rear of the radar cabin.
Flap Lid, like the AN/MPQ-53, uses a 10,000 element transmission type of space feeded phased-array, with a complex monopulse horn feed into the rear plane of the antenna, using a microwave lens. The Flap Lid's antenna stows flat on the roof of the radar cabin, which was initially deployed on a trailer towed by a Ural-357, KrAZ-255 or KrAZ-260 6x6 tractor. The whole radar cabin is mounted on a turntable and used to slew the phased array to cover a 60 or 100 degree sector of interest.
There are two versions of this radar, Flap Lid A and Flap Lid B. Flap Lid A is associated with the deployable SA-10A variant of the “Grumble” missile and takes the form of a trailer-mounted, semi-mobile equipment. The Flap Lid A antenna is mounted on a tower to increase the radar's effectiveness against low-flying targets. Flap Lid B, which is truck mounted, supports the fully mobile SA-10B version of the missile which appears to be designated as the S-300 air defence system (Russian designator: 90Ж6). Within the SA-10 system, Flap Lid is used in conjunction with the Big Bird surveillance and Clam Shell target identification/location radars.
