The new Vega Premier AESA radar in the dome will have electronic steering in elevation while azimuth is control by the rotation of the dome. The array will rotate once every 5 seconds, thus improving the radar\u2019s ability to track fast moving targets.<\/p>\n

The A-100 Premier will make her maiden flight by 2018, a defense source told Russian media.<\/p>\n
