Type 756 Radar

Last updated

Type 756 radar is a Chinese navigational radar developed in the 1970s by Shanghai 4th Radio Factory. Type 756 radar is a dual band radar that utilizes S and X bands, and the utilization of S-band on the navigational radar is the first in China. [1] Type 756 radar is used by both Chinese merchant ships and ships of Chinese navy. The solid state radar digitally displays range and bearing on large display and the maximum range is 96 nautical miles. [1]

Peoples Liberation Army Navy maritime warfare branch of Chinas military

The People's Liberation Army Navy, also known as the PLA Navy, is the naval warfare branch of the People's Liberation Army, which is the armed wing of the Communist Party of China and, by default, the national armed forces of the People's Republic of China. The PLAN can trace its lineage to naval units fighting during the Chinese Civil War and was established in September 1950. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, the Soviet Union provided assistance to the PLAN in the form of naval advisers and export of equipment and technology. Until the late 1980s, the PLAN was largely a riverine and littoral force. However, by the 1990s, following the fall of the Soviet Union and a shift towards a more forward-oriented foreign and security policy, the leaders of the Chinese military were freed from worrying over land border disputes, and instead turned their attention towards the seas. This led to the development of the People's Liberation Army Navy into a green-water navy by 2009. Before the 1990s the PLAN had traditionally played a subordinate role to the People's Liberation Army Ground Force.

The Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier is a class of fixed-wing aircraft carriers operated by the Russian and Chinese navies. Originally designed for the Soviet Navy, the Kuznetsov-class ships use a ski-jump to launch high-performance conventional aircraft in a STOBAR configuration. The design represented a major advance in Soviet fleet aviation over the Kiev-class carriers, which could only launch VSTOL aircraft. Two ships were originally laid down at the Nikolayev South Shipyard in the Ukrainian SSR, followed by the first of the Ulyanovsk-class nuclear-powered supercarriers.

Radar navigation

Marine and aviation radar systems can provide very useful navigation information in a variety of situations. When a vessel is within radar range of land or special radar aids to navigation, the navigator can take distances and angular bearings to charted objects and use these to establish arcs of position and lines of position on a chart. A fix consisting of only radar information is called a radar fix.

Type 751 radar is a Chinese navigational radar used by Chinese merchant ships and ships of Chinese navy, and it is the first navigational radar developed by Shanghai 4th Radio Factory, which subsequently also developed many other Chinese navigational radars after this humble beginning. Development begun in October 1963, with a design team led by the deputy general engineer Mr. Zhang Yuan-Zhen (张元震) and Engineer Gu Xie-Xiang (顾燮祥). First sample was completed by the end of 1964, and in September 1965, the radar was installed on the Chinese naval ship Luoyang.

Type 752 radar is a Chinese navigational radar used by Chinese merchant ships and ships of Chinese navy. Developed by Shanghai 4th Radio Factory in the mid-1960s, it’s the first Chinese navigational radar that utilizes transistors. The only vacuum tubes used in this radar system were in the transmitter and display. Development begun in 1965 and was completed in the following year. Om 1969, an improved version Type 752-Jia (752甲) was developed. Type 752 radar utilizes slotted array antenna, which replaced the parabolic antenna previously used on earlier radars and the maximum range is 48 nautical miles. In addition to navigation and surface search, Type 762 onboard Chinese naval vessels is also used as low altitude surveillance radar. In addition to Shanghai 4th Radio Factory, Type 752 radar is also manufactured by Shanghai 101st factory and by the end of 1990s, a total of 1705 were produced.

Type 753 radar is a Chinese navigational radar used by Chinese merchant ships and ships of Chinese navy. Developed by Shanghai 4th Radio Factory in the early 1970s, Type 753 radar is fully transistorized, with a maximum range of 48 nautical miles. In 1979, efforts were made to improve MTBF of this radar, resulting in drastic increase of MTBF, from the original 107 hours in 1978 to 406 hours in 1980. In 1981, the radar achieved a mile stone of continuously operating 1000 hours without failure.
