The Clam Shell is a low altitude FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) search and acquisition radar designed to detect and track approaching and receding low radar cross section (RCS) targets, particularly cruise missiles. The system will detect targets at extremely low altitudes in ground clutter under intense ECM conditions. This system is described as fully automatic and provides target track information for the fire control system of the static SA-10A or mobile SA-10B Grumble area defence SAM. Approaching and receding target velocity, range and bearing are provided, with selectable 1 or 6 degree vertical beamwidths, and selectable beam polarisation. An issue for the Western electronic warfare community is that the Clam Shell uses FMCW techniques, while many older and established radar warning receivers (RWRs) and trackbreaker jammers (ECM) may not have the capability to detect and jam this system. FMCW systems are generally credited with excellent resistance to conventional jamming techniques, and excellent clutter and chaff rejection, both points stressed in the manufacturer"s document. As this system is now being marketed worldwide, with China and India reported as initial export customers, it is likely that it will find other regional users in time. Aircraft not equipped with suitable RWR and ECM will be highly vulnerable to this capable area defence SAM system. --------------- ---------------
