The Beriev A-100 is a future Russian early warning aircraft based on the Ilyushin Il-76MD-90A transport aircraft and is intended to replace its predecessor, the Beriev A-50 . A newly developed active phased array radar is to be used, which can locate aircraft up to a distance of 600 km and ships up to a distance of 400 km. In addition, cruise missiles and stealth aircraft should be recognized.
development
So far, a prototype has been completed, the cell of which was branched off in 2014 from the Ulyanovsk production of the Il-78M-90A tanker , transported to Taganrog on the Sea of Azov , where it was converted into the A-100. A second cell followed in 2015. The first flight with registration number 7865 took place from Taganrog on November 18, 2017, the first series copies are to be handed over to the Russian air force in 2020 as of November 2017 .
construction
In addition to the new radar and the larger wingspan, the exterior of the A-100 differs from the A-50 by the omission of the stabilizing fins behind the main landing gear bulges, containers, presumably for electronic reconnaissance , under the wings near the wing tips, a multitude of blade antennas on the horizontal stabilizer and an antenna directly above the cockpit, which is believed to be used for satellite communications. The different antennas and communication systems are intended to enable the machine to exchange information between all of its own aircraft in an armed conflict, a task that has so far been taken over by aircraft of the Tupolev Tu-214SR type .
