Type 347 Radar

Type 347 Radar

The Type 347G "Rice Lamp" I-band fire-control radar is found on older Chinese Navy ships, in conjection with the Type 76A dual-37mm automatic AAA gun. Typically, the system includes 2 Type 347G fire-control radar with optical director, and 4 Type 76A guns. They're used on the Luda, Luhu, Luhai, Jiangwei class surface warships, as well as the Houjian, Houxin, and Haiging class patrol boats. [http://www.sinodefence.com/navy/weapon/type76aaaa.asp]

In the 1980s, China imported the OTOBreda (now OTO-Melara) Twin Fast Forty AAA [http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNIT_4cm-70_Breda.htm] and Selenia (now AMS) SPG-74 (RTN-20X) fire control system from Italy for evaluation. Although the Chinese navy didn't deploy the twin-40mm AAA, there are some similarities between the Type 347 and the SPG-74 radar, leading some commentators to claim that the Type 347 is based on SPG-74 technology.

The distinct recognition characteristic of the Type 347 radar is the inverse cassegrain antenna with twisted polarization.

The improved variant, LR66 is found on Type 730 CIWS, J band tracking. There seems to be other variants of this design and is marketed by both CETC and XRINT (Xi'an Research Institute of Navigation Technology)/西安导航技术研究所/第二十研究所
