Abstract :
An overview is presented of an ongoing study and development program which aims at the realisation of next generation radar systems for fighter aircraft. An important part of the study is the design, test, and evaluation of a breadboard array with about 100 active radiators. The array configuration, the test system, and some preliminary results are presented
