World Defense Bulletin
World Defense Bulletin
In this Science and Technology short from World Defense Bulletin, we analyze the technological clash between the $1.1 billion US AN/FPS-132 Solid-State Phased-Array Radar and the extreme speed of advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles like the Fattah-1 and Kheibar Shekan. We break down the science of why even a radar with a 5,000 km tracking range struggles to provide enough reaction time for Patriot and THAAD interceptors against modern high-speed threats.
