Export designation Zhuk-MFE
Formerly known as FGM29F AKA N010MF
Identical to radar N031 Sokol
Further development on N031 Sokol and Zhuk-MF have been discontinued.
Zhuk-MFE unified airborne multifunction radar with phased array antenna is intended for the aircraft of frontline aviation.
Operation modes:
air-to-air
Target detection and measurement of range to targets flying above the aircraft or against the land (sea-surface) background within a radar scan zone.
Single target track.
Simultaneous track of up to 20 targets within a scan zone in the track-while-scan mode and support to simultaneous attack against up 4 targets (“dangerous targets” or targets selected by pilot).
Support close maneuvering combat (submodes: Vertical, HUD field-of-view, Sighting, Boresight, Slewable).
Detection of helicopters, including the hovering ones, and attack against them.
Recognition of target classes and target number determination.
Air-to-surface
Real beam mapping, Doppler beam sharpening mapping, focused synthetic aperture mapping.
Scale expansion and map freezing.
Simultaneous track of 2 ground targets.
Sea-surface search
Detection of ground-and sea-surface moving targets, track of them.
Air-to-ground ranging.
Carrier velocity measurement.
Information support to low altitude flight.
Target designation data, illumination and missile correction data for the R-27R1 (R1E) air-to-air missiles.
Target designation data and missile correction data for the RVV-AE air-to-air missiles.
