Pakistani Saab-2000 Erieye AEW&C at Dubai Air Show 2011

The Saab-2000 Erieye AEW&C (airborne early warning and control aircraft) of the Pakistan Air Force at the Dubai Air Show 2011.

PAF has purchased four fully functional Saab-2000 Erieye AEW&C aircraft and one training aircraft. Pakistan Air Force received its first Erieye in October 2009. All the Erieye systems along with ground stations were delivered by the end of 2010.
The starboard side windows were removed from the Pakistani Saab-2000 Erieye AEW&C to outfitte them with 5 mission operator consoles.

The 200 solid state module, PS-890 Erieye active phased array pulse Doppler radar can become operational just 3 minutes after the take-off and provides an effective surveillance area of 500,000km².


From standard operational altitude of 6000m (19,685 feets), PS-890 Erieye radar has detection range of 450km and tracking range of 350km against fighter jets.

The Pakistani Saab-2000 AEW&C uses of new generation radar transmit/receive modules which generate around 60% extra output. Higher operating ceiling of 9,150 ma and increased radar output allows Pakistani Erieye AEW&C to detect both air and maritime targets much longer ranges then the first and second  generation Erieye systems.
The Pakistani Erieye can detect hovering helicopters and track small naval targets to a range of 350km. Its S-band radar offers much more better anti-jamming capability then the L-and radars.
Sabb-2000 AEW&C can provide surveillance in 160° broadside sector on both sides of the AEW&C. Erieye has capability to search the targets in the 20° sectors fore and aft of the Saab-2000 AEW&C but its can not track its targets in forward and aft directions.
The Saab-2000 is also outfitted with the Saab Avitronics HES-21 electronic support measures (ESM) and self-protection suite. The self-protection system (SPS) consists of  Saab Avitronics LWS-310 laser warning system, Saab Avitronics MAW-300 missile launch and approach warner (MAW) , chaff and flare dispensing system (CFDS).

The Saab-2000 Erieye AEW&C a can reach operating ceiling of over 30,000ft (9,150m) in 15 minutes and has an endurance of 9.5 hours.
