Abstract：With the development of detection technology of radar and the need of information war, modern military equipments are facing the higher demand of performance. And ground radar is becoming larger with more units and with better maneuverability and stability. However, automatic docking technology for radar antenna units restricts the maneuverability of ground radar. In this paper, in light of the automatic docking experience of large components and the actual requirements of ground radar for references, the characteristics of radar antenna automatic docking technology are analyzed. 3 key technologies are introduced, namely, automatic pose adjustment system, large-scale metrology and compliant docking technology. Meanwhile, research progress of these three technologies is introduced in detail. Finally, the development of automatic docking technology for radar antenna is summarized and its prospect is given.
