Cyrano radar family

These radars were originally used on the Mirage III C and Saab 35 Draken, and then in constantly evolving variants on different models of aircraft from Dassault Aviation and SEPECAT.

The monopulse radar Cyrano I is located in the nose of the aircraft, in a pressurized enclosure.

The transmitter, with a peak power of 300 kW in the band (λ = 3 cm), is a 4J 50 type magnetron.

The radar has analog electronics responsible for processing the signal, telemetry, deviation measurements, antenna controls, as well as the navigation commands to the missiles before and after firing.

It includes functions for detection, tracking, automatic navigation, missile guidance, and ground and contour mapping.
