OVERVIEW: The HQ-64/LY-60 engagement radar is primarily a Continuous Wave X-band illuminator for the monopulse semi-active homing LY-60 missile round.

DETAILS: The simplicity of the fixed single horn feed makes it unlikely that this radar includes a monopulse precision angle tracking capability often seen in Russian CW tracker/illuminator designs.

NOTES: The HQ-64/LY-60 engagement radar was first displayed publicly in late 2008. It is a reverse engineered Aspide Mk.1 (AIM-7 derivative).
