Kronos 3D

Kronos 3D is a multi-mission, active electronically scanned array (AESA), family of radar for strategic surveillance and tactical air defence, designed to protect vital, civil and military assets and expeditionary forces through immediate detection and accurate tracking of all air targets, flying from very low to high altitude.

Kronos is designed to detect, track and identify targets and to provide the weapon system with target indication. The naval version counts two configurations, one with a smaller antenna available for corvettes, patrol vessels and small frigates starting from 400t; one with a wider antenna (known as Multi Functional Radar Active, MFRA) for frigates and aircraft carriers. Kronos, in the naval configuration, is able to counter supersonic, diving and sea-skimming missiles, as well as novel threats like small manoeuvring crafts or submarines. It can be integrated in every combat management system and is completely remotely controlled.
