    Fact Sheet - Tin Shield

    Uploaded by

    Nick Numlk
    The document summarizes the specifications and capabilities of the Tin Shield radar system. It operates in the S band frequency range of 2000-3000 MHz with a pulse width of 6-12 us. The radar can detect a 0.1 sqm target at up to 94.5 nautical miles and track 100 targets with over 48 dB of clutter rejection. While primarily used as the acquisition radar for the S-300P air defense system, the Tin Shield has also been widely employed as a general purpose medium/high altitude search radar.

    Descriptions
    The Tin Shield is semimobile and towed by a KrAZ-255 or -260 tractor, it can be deployed or stowed
    in one hour, or two with the mast. The design uses a large paraboloid cylindrical section primary
    reflector and a linear element array deployed on a pair of booms to provide electronic beam
    steering in elevation from -20 to +30 degrees, the antenna can perform a full 360 degree sweep in 5
    to 10 seconds. With a transmitter peak power rating cited between 1.23 MegaWatts and 350
    kiloWatts, the manufacturer claims the ability to detect a 0.1 square metre RCS target at 300 ft AGL
    out to 24.8 nautical miles, and at medium to high altitudes to 94.5 nautical miles. Clutter rejection is
    claimed to exceed 48 dB, and the system can track 100 targets. An IFF system is integrated in the
    radar.

    The Tin Shield family of radars is diverse and over 1,000 have been built, with many variants widely
    exported. While the radar is best known as the acquisition component for the S-
    300P/PM/PMU/PMU1 SA-10/20 Grumble/Gargoyle SAM system, it has also been widely used as a
    general purpose medium/high altitude search radar. The radar is most commonly seen in its basic
    towed configuration, but can also be mounted on the 40V6M or 40V6MD mast system. It has been
    largely supplanted in newer S-300P/S-400 configurations by the LEMZ 96L6E.
