AN/APG-85
The AN/APG-85 is an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system designed by Northrop Grumman for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. The AN/APG-85 is a further development of the AN/APG-81 and is planned be installed in all three variants of the F-35 aircraft from Lot 17 and onwards, which are planned to enter production in 2025. In air-to-air mode, the AN/APG-85 provides long-range detection and tracking of air targets, including aircraft, missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In air-to-ground mode, the radar provides high-resolution imaging of ground targets, including enemy installations, vehicles, and other targets of interest. The high-resolution SAR imaging capabilities of the AN/APG-85 are particularly useful for reconnaissance missions, providing detailed images of targets for further analysis. The AN/APG-85 is designed for easy integration with other aircraft systems, including electronic warfare systems, weapons, and communication systems. This allows for seamless integration with the overall aircraft systems and provides a high level of situational awareness for the pilot. According to the production plan, F-35 aircraft acquired by Poland, Belgium and Finland will feature the new equipment. References
