In the last hour reading that topic, i learned more about SARH and radar operation then in the last year.

GGTharos Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 "Main difference been Phoenix and AMRAAM TWS is Tomcat was designed as an integrated weapon system (missile and radar developed by Hughes) with TWS missile messages imbedded in the radar pulses whereas AMRAAM was a missile designed for use on a variety of radars and therefore in need of a separate datalink to direct the missile to a point in space where the seeker went active. The devil's in the details. They both operate on the same principle, there's no separate transmitter for the AIM-120. The M-Link is transmitted on the radar beam. That's not to say that integration would be easy, it never is. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

The M-Link is transmitted on the radar beam. That's not to say that integration would be easy, it never is. Good point. Maybe by datalink he didn't meant a separate transmitter. Is it possible that besides software updates, installation of additional radar modules would be required?

lunaticfringe Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 AMRAAM integration on an F-14D could seem possible with just a simple software upgrade (I'm not aware what updates needed to be done on the F-15E for AMRAAM integration), but I'm not convinced that it's a simple software upgrade for the AWG-9. Do you have any info to back that claim? I have a former coder from the relevant NAVAIR program office as a pal, who is now with the Flight Vehicle Performance group as my source. It had the bus (which covers the onboard handling of the weapon), which means that between the AN/AWG-15F or H-versions, the solve is likely in there, although Fairchild (and DTIC.mil) aren't talking contents, and I don't have later B manuals enough for software to the F and/or H updates to see the change orders (which, if the symbology isn't included, it's going to drop hints). Even that, unfortunately, wouldn't necessarily show what we want, because there are plenty of modes on the -14A that weren't illustrated in the AAA-1, but we know to have been there (all of the A/G stuff)- those come up in tech materials that I've not seen available as of yet. I have, however, left a message with my guy and we'll see when he's back in the office on Monday if he can provide the relevant details. One recent article involving some Tomcat people claimed that they had to choose between AMRAAM integration and LANTIRN and chose the latter based on the expected future mission types (A2G rather than air-superiority). If anything, it wasn't an expensive upgrade and it could be done fleet wide (A/B/D) unlike (I presume) the AMRAAM support. Pretty much. By the time you get to AMRAAM qualification, you've got three sets of jets in the fleet: AWG-9 w/AWG-15 (pre -F) AWG-9 w/AWG-15 (-F or -H) APG-71 By the time you start talking unit cost for upgrades to all remaining As to get common, plus -1553B standardized, rails across the fleet, you're looking at diminishing returns. Then you start looking at numbers of Bs and Ds, deciding if that is worth the capability when they already have the money spent on Phoenix C rounds (because at this point, C is still outranging AMRAAM A/B, and Sparrow range overlaps the latter two). You're not building anymore airframes, so you can't decrease the cost by larger volumes, and you're really seeing a timeline come together for its end of service life (2010 or less). Thus, its easier to buy into systems you can field across the entire fleet for a lower cost with a higher probability of use, because you're just waiting on the F/A-18E/F to become available as the real replacement to the A-6.

captain_dalan Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 A bit off topic but can anyone tell me if the RIO was also in charge of firing the missiles? Or if the final decision was up to the pilot to make? Phoenix missile yes. Big red launch button in the back seat. Sparrows also. Not sure for the winders. Pilot stick does have its own overrides though. I just don't know how the driver selects between Phoenix and Sparrow, as they seam both on the same switch position..... maybe there is a separate press or detent option?

I think you have to select the appropriate station on the ACM panel to do this. 1
