Pakistani media refer to the radar on the nose of the KJ-600 as "searface searth radar", which means surface search radar, and believe it is mainly used to detect ground, sea surface, and low-altitude targets. However, the size of the antenna of this radar is very large, visually close to 1.5 meters, which seems to be a bit of overkill just for filling in blind spots. If it is combined with the S/UHF radar inside a back-mounted radome, sharing the same console and coordinates, wouldn't it form a three-band radar?
