Type 91 sensors and radar height above the sea

The hull and sensor fit remain undecided, with possible common systems or an Australian-related option discussed. No firm cost is given.

Question

What sensors might Type 91 carry, and what would the ships cost?

Short answer

The hull and sensor fit remain undecided, with possible common systems or an Australian-related option discussed. No firm cost is given.

Notes

The hull has not yet been selected in this assessment, so both sensor fit and cost remain unsettled. Possible choices include the sensors planned for the CCV or air-defence hub, or a different radar altogether. Discussions involving the Australian Type 26 sensor fit remain tentative. The suggestion of a vessel around 1,500 tons is tied to radar installation requirements, including the need to keep some radar equipment sufficiently far above salt water.
