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 transmitting from the central dish.
