The radar has a range of 250 km when in early warning mode - substantially further than the IBIS-150's 130 km range - and 150 km in target designation mode. "The IBIS-200 radar is designed to deal with all kinds of fixed-wing aircraft, attack helicopters, UAVs, air-to-surface missiles, cruise missiles invading from medium, low or ultra-low altitude," according to Norinco marketing literature. Two years later, Norinco is marketing the system with the IBIS-200 radar, which it describes as a medium-range/high-altitude S-band system with "high survivability" and "a good anti-jamming and counter-reconnaissance performance". At the time Norinco said the system was in the final stages of development. Norinco unveiled the original Sky Dragon surface-to-air missile (SAM) system at the Eurosatory show in 2012 with the mobile IBIS-150 (or IBIS150) radar supporting the launcher vehicles, which each had four missiles. (Norinco)The IBIS-200 is now being marketed as the target designation radar for the Sky Dragon 50. The IBIS-200 is now being marketed as the target designation radar for the Sky Dragon 50.
China's Norinco marketed an improved version of its Sky Dragon 50 medium-range air defence system at the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) show, held in Pretoria from 17-21 September.
