Gold hood radar system
At the summit of the Kolomannsberg there are two radomes of the air traffic control radar system Goldhaube for the air surveillance of the Austrian Armed Forces , which is why the summit is a restricted area. In military jargon, the higher, older radar is called "Object R", the lower-lying new one "Object H".
The RAT-31S phased array device, installed in 1983, has a square antenna with an area of 16 m² and can actively detect aircraft up to 300 km away with a 360 ° all-round search and 10 revolutions per minute. The second radar tower , newly installed in 2003, carries the most powerful radar in Austria with a range of up to 500 km and a height detection of 30 km. This type of radar ( RAT-31DL ) also works with the phased array technology and can monitor 360 ° at around 6 revolutions per minute. In the 19 m diameter radome is the rectangular primary radar antenna with an area of 77 m² (11 m × 7 m). The connected secondary radar records transponder signals from aircraft at a distance of up to 450 km.
