OVERVIEW: The JY-27A WIDE MAT is a transportable, long-range 3-D counter-very-low-observable (CVLO), active phased array surveillance radar operating in the A (NATO) or VHF (IEEE) band

DETAILS: The JY-27A is a 3-D VHF radar employing an active phased array antenna with agile wave beam scanning.  It is advertised as being capable of detecting stealth aircraft at a range of up to 270 nm.   It is also advertised as being capable of providing TBM early warning.  It can track up to 500 targets.

Unlike most VHF radars, the JY-27A is capable of tracking low elevation targets.  It reportedly has good anti- jamming characteristics.  The radar allegedly has a missile guidance capability, but this is not confirmed.
