1. Radar system for an aircraft for in use at least detecting another airborne object within a region surrounding the aircraft, wherein the system comprises at least one subsystem comprising:

  • at least one transmitter for transmitting an electromagnetic probe signal;

    a phased array of receivers for simultaneously receiving reflections of the transmitted probe signal and for generating receiving signals which each represent a received reflection of the probe signal; and

    a signal processing unit for processing each of the receiving signals for obtaining information about a detected airborne object within the region surrounding the aircraft, wherein the subsystem is arranged to transmit by means of the transmitter the probe signal such that the probe signal covers a zone of interest which is static with respect to the aircraft and wherein the subsystem is arranged to detect by means of the phased array of receivers and the signal processing means an airborne object in the zone of interest.
