CZK - RPL-5 (mobilní letištní přistávací radiolokační systém)

On the basis of the experience with an airport shuttle radar RPL-4 formed by his modernized version of the amended and new kit:
RPL-5.

The main "visible" change in the use of surveillance (primary)radar has also been supplemented by the secondary radar of the Russian production Koreň.

The new kit, RPL-5 was created by supplementing the surveillance (primary) radar secondary radar ("Koreň") with digital processing of its signals and the complement rdst R-832M. ( RL and RP, and the parameters are as for RPL-4A).

The composition of the airport radiolokačního system RPL-5 :
 Overview (primary) radar RL-5
* Tatra 148VNM with the transmission of a frame:
- The antenna unit ETC/RL ( "B")
* Trailer PV 2418 with the transmission frame and the pallets:
- The instrument unit PJ/RL ( "AND")
- Generator)-30-3-400l been ( "G")

 Secondary radar SRL-5/RS-5* Tatra 148VNM with přepr. frame, 2 pom. frames and crane
- Antenna SRL (dual band, dual power supply)
- Antenna control transponder
- The instrument unit PJ/SRL ( "C")

 Landing RP-5* Tatra 148VNM with the transmission of a frame:
- The antenna unit of the AJ/RP ( "E")
* Trailer PV 2418 with the transmission of a frame:
- The instrument unit PJ/FP ( "D")
- Generator)-30-3-400l been ( "G")

 the Management of the workplace Used-5* Trailer PV 2418 with the transmission frame and the pallets:
- Management of the workplace PJ/Used ( "F")
- Generator)-30-3-400l been ( "G")

 Instruments SRL are in isotermickém matches, the other part of the circuits for the digital processing and display of it are in the management of the workplace. The antenna unit SRL is at the antenna unit RL. Another change is the installation of the cabinets rdst R-832M of sources on the rear face walls of the instrument units RL, RP and Used. (a backup set of R-832M and RTL-11). SRL allows you to track aircraft equipped odpovídači, working in the international standard, in the standard of the USSR and the system of active response. Transmitter is pulsed at a frequency of 1.03 GHz. Signals SRL is displayed on the IKO in Used and safe workplace in PJ/ RL. In parallel is connected to the control IKO in PJ/SRL.
( The assemblies of RSP has been ranked as the identification means of the automatic marker ( ARP-6, ARP-9; ARP-11).

After fitting this system on the bc. at the airport and WERE served as the main - stationary and RPL-4A on the cars was as a backup.

I take the liberty here to insert a photo of RPL-5,which originates from the official website of 21.zTL Čáslav.
I am sure that this picture comes from the summer of 1999. Back then we took for the story to the ATM. Photographer still waiting up together with a friend let's finish the camouflage net. You in those containers, not because of camouflage,but it's the shading due to overheating vybaní. In the containers used to be actually very hot and was very uncomfortable when Aproarch "blind" due to overheating. Otherwise in 1999 was to Čáslavy delivered modernized RPL-5,which had no containers air-conditioned..

(Interesting is the "spider" antenna ZA-12 and the "new" antenna of the secondary RL)
