/tass/. The Chinese Electronic Technology Group for the first time presented its 10-meter SLC-18 space radar at the International Airshow China in Zhuhai in the south of the country. As the Global Times newspaper reported on Friday, this development attracted a lot of attention from visitors.

The SLC-18 is a radar station with an active phased array antenna. It is designed to track objects in low Earth orbit. This technology allows you to predict the trajectory of spacecraft and collect data about them.

The SLC-18 radar is capable of detecting satellites, identifying them and cataloging them, and then sending them to the command center. According to local experts, it will help China "take precautions to avoid the "intrusive glances" of foreign satellites."

"In the past, only strong military powers with the technical power and the necessary economic and industrial basis could track space objects. It was difficult for developing countries to do this," said Sun Lei, Deputy General Manager of the Chinese technology company CETE Guorui Group.

As he clarified, SLC-18 is a land-based technology with relatively low costs that can be used by countries participating in the projects of the One Belt, One Road initiative. The radar is made entirely in China, including microchips. This is a modular design that can be modified if necessary.

The largest aviation and space salon in China is held in the seaside city of Zhuhai with the participation of companies from many countries. Russian defense enterprises are constantly participating in it. The main topics of the exhibition are military and civil aircraft, space, navigation and radar equipment, aviation weapons, rocket engines, fire control and air defense systems. This year it takes place from November 8 to 13.
