Don-2N Anti-Ballistic Missile and Space Vehicle Tracking Radar

Designed to detect, track and measure the co-ordinates of ballistic missiles and space vehicles, the Don-2N pulse radar comprises four, fixed, 16 m diameter, phased-array antennas, a digital signal processing subsystem and a `high-capacity, multiprocessor’ system control computer system that is based on the Elbrus-2 equipment. Functionally, the radar automatically detects targets, measures their co-ordinates, determines their trajectories and discriminates re-entry vehicles from decoys in real time. The equipment’s system control computer is described as being able to execute up to 1 billion operations per second and countermeasures proofing is provided via frequency agility and adaptive control of the phased-array antennas.

Unique opportunities of “DON – 2N” were evidently shown to results of work in the international experiment with detection of the small space objects, spent under program “ODERAX” during which with US Shuttle in a free space microsatellites – metal spheres in diameter of 5,10 and 15 centimeters were thrown out. “DON – 2N” – unique from everything involved in the world of radar-tracking means, could find out and construct a trajectory of the smallest space object – ball in diameter of 2 inches (5 sm).
