Radar
The Pantsir-SM incorporates an advanced active electronically scanned array radar (AESA), greatly enhancing its detection capabilities. With an impressive detection range of 75 km, it surpasses the original Pantsir-S1, which only had a range of 30 km. Moreover, this radar boasts increased resistance to jamming, further enhancing its effectiveness.

General Radar information:

• Detection Range: 75km (the search radar most likely is able to extend its range much further with 75km being its base.)
• Coverage: 360°
• Target Engagement Speed:
• • 2,000m/s (for 57E6M)
• • 1,800 (for 57E6M-E)
• • 1,000 m/s (for TKB-1055)
• Search azimuth: 90°
• Target Detection: 40 incoming targets.
• Simultaneous Tracking: more information needed

Which radar are you talking about here?
As per this source

AESA radar is search radar, with range of 70km against a “small target”, while the track radar is 40km (and while not confirmed here, it is a prime example of a reflection type PESA antenne).

Congratulations, the tracked Pantsir SM shall grace our hangars.

I’m glad to see we got the tracked one, has access to smokes and better mobility, definitely a force to be reckoned with.

While I understand this thread is kind of dormant since the SM-SV was added, that definetely doesn’t mean there isn’t room for more suggestions.

Speaking of, since ARMS are added and there are plans to give the U.S even better AGMS, and other nations possibly, there should be high consideration for letting current and possibly future Pantsir variants to use their autonomous scanning mode with the tracking radar without requiring a “hard lock”. I understand that could possibly be a bit janky given how target tracking works when the tracking director is active, but it should definitely be considered moving forward
