OVERVIEW: The Podsolnukh-E (Sunflower-E) radar is a semi-permament, over-the-horizon surface wave radar used to detect surface and airborne targets and operated in the HF band.

DETAILS: The Podsolnukh OTH capable of detecting and tracking stealth fifth generation airplanes or low observable airborne and surface targets. The gigantic radar antenna is five kilometers long and five meters tall. The system is capable of simultaneously tracking 200 surface or 100 aerial targets. 

Fequency: 					3-30 MHz (A Band (NATO), HF Band (IEEE)))  
Power output: 		 			?? kW(average); ?? W (peak) 
PRF:						?? pps  (approx)	
Range Resolution:				?? m (range), unknown degrees (azimuth) 					
On/Off time:					unknown seconds
Deploy/Stow Time	 			10 days

Effective Range:				8-243 nm; 15-450 km (surface)
						108-161 nm; 200-300 km (aircraft over 9842 ft altitude)  


NOTES: As of 2013 three over-the-horizon Podsolnukh radars are currently in service with the Russian Armed Forces, and are deployed to the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan and the Caspian Sea.
