Type 348 Radar

The Type 346 radar is Chinese shipborne Active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. It entered service with the People's Liberation Army Navy aboard the Type 052C destroyers in 2004; the radar was used in conjunction with the HQ-9 SAM.

Nomenclature

The radar mounted on the Type 052C has been called both the Type 346 and the Type 348.. It is not certain which designation belongs to the indigenous Chinese system described in this article, and which was given to a system imported to China from the Kvant Design Bureau of Ukraine. The Kvant radar operated in the C band and had a range of only 150–160 km.^[1]
