Anytime

Now I know why im confused so is the web and you guys eheh, http://www.search.com/reference/List_of_anti-tank_guided_missiles whats on BS AT-9 or AT-16?

Understand but im confused see the wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT-9_Spiral-2

The only thing that could own the F-22!! Thanks pilotasso

Got a pic? Looks like it"s on the nose to me?? Be suprised if it could hit jack if it was on the tail? Here"s a vid, can't find any pics. http://cops.zive.net/c-board/file/Vikhrinaction_erdem.avi

On the tail?

Basically all those little transmitters combine to form a beam out in front of the radar, giving similar or better performance than a classic rdr. Also to steer the radar, the software slows the transmission down on some of the transmitters thus forming the beam at a different angle. It does nothing simulataneous, what it does it time share, due to the software controlled steering. If you start performing STT on targets you"ll most likely reduce your scan volume or slow it down. It"s all give and take, plus it always depends on how much money you have to spend. <- all ways the limiting factor! ;) The other benefit of the beam forming out in front of the radar is that you can stand in front of it and not get fried. The guys operating this baby said I could stand in front of it, but I still declined there offer :) http://www.lockheedmartin.com/wms/findPage.do?dsp=fec&ci=11432&rsbci=5&fti=0&ti=0&sc=400

In a perfect world you could range it, but how much power is being outputed, what frequency, what modulation, who know's what else can be varied. So bottom line is, shoot down the bearing line and pray :) or turn your radar on, or better still your wingmans. hehe

Lost me! :pilotfly: Queued by data link yes. ESM yes, but bearing only. TWS yes, but still able to search at the same time. STT, not sure if search is still available, imagine in a limited. Link below has interesting performance info on the CAPTOR. http://www.eurofighter-typhoon.co.uk/Eurofighter/sensors.html

Without search? To see something you have to scan, but given the AESA radars can jump frequencies very quickly it is very difficult to detect the radar with ESM, and jam it for that matter.

Basically, with an active array each element has an emitter source, while the passive array still has one RF source and needs a wave guide etc. And btw just because it's a phased array doesn't mean it will necessarially out peform a conventional radar, take the SPY1D for example, pitafull down low where it counts, and that's one big array.

Be suprised if they are IR Missile launch detectors, it's not covering the full hemisphere. Very impressive jet, does it have a hi bandwidth antijam datalink? It'll be not much better than a 3rd Gen fighter without it.

Ya just in case it slips hehe :)

A couple of strike aircraft that weren"t listed that should be considered in my book: - F-111 (Must be plenty of info available by now); - Tornado; and - A6 - F14 :) Fingers crossed

Yes I read in Janes defence weekly the new radar has a detection range of about 80km for a targert of 0.02m2. That puts the F-22 very close before it even has a chance of being detected, not to mention the 22s wingman closing in for a datalink shot. Bit like the raptors in Jurasic Park ;)

Nice, what's the detection range for small RCS targets?

Hoff cough cough, that aint no Hoff. Must be before your time.

There's only one man who can stop the airwolf, bluethunder, A-Team, Bob and his mate in their tracks!

And on the net its ... The only problem with German is that it doesn't sound very sexy, lucky for Octoberfest :beer:

You two are so old school !! :) You won"t see analogue guages on many new jets/helo's these days. The 2 I work on, one being fbw, simply have no need for them. http://www.australianaerospace.com.au/Portals/3/Tiger/Gallery/9.jpg (count the joysticks in the Battle Captains seat) AT

lol hehe I'm sure they know what they're doing pilotasso, it"ll be all ok :pilotfly: It's gotta be one of the sexiest fighters around with out question. ps Shameless mac plug, have a look at the iPhone just being announced now.

"yet" does that mean it"s going to happen? :pilotfly:

You"ll find the sensors on most modern military choppers if you look harder enough. http://www.ausaero.com.au/Portals/3/Tiger/Gallery/12.jpg http://www.ausaero.com.au/Portals/3/MRH90/large/nh90-gallery-06.jpg

Nice to know it's an environmentally friendly jet, even as it's dropping those nukes :D

Sounds like a sales pitch to me ;) Similar to the one below. http://www.defensetech.org/archives/000976.html http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/745557.cms

Given all the detail BS is implementing, like the electrical system discussed here, will BS include checklists in the copkpit (on MFDs), that is if the real deal does?
