The Indonesian Navy (Tentera Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) will equip a total of four Ahmad Yani (Van Speijk)-class guided missile frigates and one Kapitan Pattimura (Parchim I)-class corvette with low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) naval radars.

The radars will be built by Indonesian naval sensor manufacturer PT Infra RCS, company officials told IHS Jane’s on April 11, 2014.

The company describes its equipment, the IRCS LPI Radar, as a stealthy sea-based X-band (SBX) radar with frequency modulated continuous wave technology.

“It has a maximum power output of only 10 W, making it quiet and virtually invisible to radar warning receivers on enemy vessels”, said Prihatno Susanto, Technical Advisor for the company. “This allows our warships to detect hostile surface combatants without being discovered”.

The IRCS LPI Radar has an effective range of 24 n miles and is equipped with tracking software known as Maritime Tracking Aid that allows for automatic radar plotting aid functionality. The system’s antenna rotates at 20 rpm and has a gain of about 30dB.

The radar is available as a stand-alone system but can also be integrated with a vessel’s electronic chart display and information system (IRCS) and combat management system.
