RWR: 3 THREAT: MEDIUM ASSOCIATED SAM: S-125 / SA-3 Originator's Designation: S-125 Newa Band: I-Band ALIC Code: 123 Description The Low Blow is a family of I band radar used with the SA-3 Goa surface to air missile system. The name Low Blow reflects the radar’s ability to guide missiles toward low flying targets with heavy clutter. The Low Blow use pairs of electromechanically scanning trough antennas mounted orthogonally, but to improve low-angle performance the troughs are mounted at 45º from the horizontal. The antennas are mounted in an upside down “V” to reduce ground clutter. Between the two troughs is a Lobe-On-Receive-Only mode antenna. When the trough antennas acquire a target the system can be switched to a LORO mode...

RWR: 2 THREAT: MEDIUM ASSOCIATED SAM: S-75 / SA-2 Originator's Designation: PW S-75 Band: ALIC Code: 126 Description The Fan Song is a series of target detection and guidance radars developed for use with the SA-2 Guideline surface to air missile system. Six of these radars have been identified, Fan Song A-F. The Fan Song can handle up to six targets at once and guide three missiles at a time. The missile must pass through the guidance beam within a few seconds of launch to be acquired and steered towards the target. There is a limitation in the amount of steering information that that missile can receive. All Fan Songs contain a Track While Scan radar which scans a designated sector with two flapping fan beams from two orthogonal...
