F-14B Radar scan elevation angle max?

What is the maximum elevation scan angle of the radar?

How many degrees of total angle is the value 8 bars ??

< = -..°/+..° =...° ?

8 bars ?

F-14B (1987)

AN/AWG-9

~ 210km

-65°/+65° <130°

- ? °/+ ?° <??°

Nice

"The EL BARS selector knob also has four settings, 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars. 1 bar being 2.3°, 2 bars 3.6°, 4 bars 6.3° and 8 bars 11.5°. The reason for the elevation coverage not equalling one bar times the number of bars being that the bars overlap slightly."

Total angle is 11,5° ?

Or is -11,5°/+11.5° =23° total for the elevation angle ?

The 8 bars scan covers 11,5 degrees.

Since the beam is only 2,3 you can’t cover 23 degrees with 8 bars. :smilewink:

Nice

Do you know the "-" and "+" exact values ?

< = -..°/+..° =11,5° ?

HB ?

The elevation control moves the elevation position of the bottom bar of the elevation scan pattern relative to zero elevation. It can move from -76° to +54°.

Straight out of the heatblur manual for the elevation control.

lol

I note that you are a beginner who confuses the mechanical elevation of the radar with the vertical electronic angle of research express in "bar"..

We know that 8 bar = 11.5 ° of total angle opening, now I would like to know how is distributed the 11.5 ° in positive and negative of the vertical angle?

The question that is asked here to more specialized people and to know what are the negative and positive values of the maximum vertical angle of the radar AN/AWG-9 ?

F-14B (1987)

AN/AWG-9

Detection max range (4m2 target in the best conditions): ~ 210km

Horizontal maximum search angle: -65°/+65° <130°

Vertical maximum search angle: - ? °/+ ? ° <11,5°

The vertical search volume is centered around commanded elevation. 5,75° above and 5,75° below.

Super

THANKS SIR :thumbup:
