Description

The AF902 is a fire control system and search/tracking radar designed and manufactured in China by the Company NORINCO. The system is used with the Type 90 35mm anti-aircraft twin-gun or the SHORAD TY-90 or PL-9C missiles. The AF902 has two tracking systems, target searching radar and an electro-optical passive tracking director. The electro-optical tracking system uses high-resolution optical/infrared TV for passive tracking in clear weather. The advantage of continuing tracking without emitting radar signals increases its survivability when facing enemy anti-radiation missiles (ARMs). The AF902 can be ready to be used in 8 minutes and leave his combat position in less than 5 minutes.
