Mikhail Kaplin, an engineer at Vega assures that the radar’s small size do not affect the scanning accuracy.

"Its resolution is 0.1 meter. That means if the distance between two objects is more than 10 cm, we can classify them as different assets even from 20 kilometers", explained the engineer.

The International Aviation & Space Salon (MAKS-2019) took place in Zhukovsky, Moscow Region, from August 27 to September 1. The show attracted at least half a million visitors.

Mil.Press publishes news about the exhibit in the thematic section MAKS.
