China Showcases Advanced Radar Technology at World Radar Expo
The 11th World Radio Detection and Ranging Expo highlights China's innovations in radar systems for modern military applications.
The 11th World Radio Detection and Ranging Expo (World Radar Expo) took place from May 17 to May 19, 2025, in Hefei, East China's Anhui Province, featuring state-of-the-art radar technology developed by the state-owned China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC).
The event has underscored the increasing importance of radar systems in contemporary military operations and the ever-evolving electromagnetic spectrum dominance.
Among the prominent exhibits were various advanced radar systems, including the JY-27V high-mobility meter-wave air surveillance radar.
This newly introduced radar system is designed to detect stealth aircraft, which, despite their advanced technologies, often remain vulnerable to lower-frequency meter-wave radars due to their limited stealth capabilities against these waves.
Recent conflicts globally have highlighted the strategic significance of radar technology in warfare.
The capabilities demonstrated at the expo align with the growing need for effective countermeasures against low, slow, and small aerial threats, such as drones.
The YLC-12 C-band medium- and low-altitude multirole radar was highlighted for its proficiency in detecting these challenging targets, showcasing adaptability and resilience in complex electromagnetic environments.
CETC's extensive research has resulted in the Sky Watcher series of early warning radars, which include innovative microwave active arrays and services aimed at improving detection accuracy and operational mobility.
The JY-27V radar’s large array design facilitates rapid deployment and retraction within minutes, enhancing its utility on dynamic battlefields.
The mobile command vehicle presented by CETC’s 28th Research Institute is designed to facilitate joint operations across diverse military branches.
It enables all-domain situational awareness and collaborative action control by integrating intelligence from various sources, such as battlefield radars and drones.
This system can assess threats in real time, generating interception and strike plans with high precision and speed.
The expo revealed that the integration of advanced technology, including big data analytics and machine learning, plays a crucial role in contemporary military strategy and operations.
Information captured from various sensors can now be processed rapidly to support decision-making on the battlefield, with a complete cycle from detection to strategic planning taking mere seconds.
In light of recent lessons learned from regional conflicts, the emphasis on developing comprehensive systems that support joint systematic warfare reflects a significant advancement in military technology.
Achieving such integration requires robust battlefield communications and advanced decision-making technologies, positioning China’s radar capabilities at the forefront of global military innovations.
