Zeus67 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Hello folks, As the title says, here I am going to post about the changes that are being made to the RDI radar. My goal is to reach 80% fidelity since 100% is not realistic for obvious reasons. Okay the upcoming changes are: Radar antenna azimuth sector search (used when the selected search azimuth is less than 60º). (enabled) Radar antenna elevation. (enabled) Radar antenna stabilization (both roll and pitch). Requires radar antenna elevation. (enabled) Radar PRF selection. Target lock limitations. Requires radar PRF selection. IFF interrogation. Requires radar PRF selection. (enabled) Super 530D launch limitations. Requires target lock limitations. Autolock. Requires target lock limitations. Auto STT. Requires target lock limitations. Doppler filtering. Target Lost Memory. NCTR. Requires PRF selection. Radar screen realignment and upgrade. Includes symbology and TDC. Warm-up period. (enabled) Now you have to warm the radar for 2 minutes if you use the Pre Heat option. 3 if you don't. Built-in test. Unfortunately the A/G modes are not possible at this time since they require A/G radar support. They will be incorporated when the A/G radar support becomes available.

joey45 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thank you. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

YoYo Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Nice! Maybe good idea is to implement real time for warm up from ramp (cold and dark) start also?

myHelljumper Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Ok, does it needs the A/G radar support by ED, seams like a simple functionality ? Wasn't there a ground avoidance mode ?

I know we are all greedy ungratefull inpatient bastards ^^ but... Eta? :joystick: Ground avoidance has nothing to do with A-G, that's why I didn't mention it. I don't think it needs anything from A/G radar, my understanding is ground avoidance is merely something that checks if there is any obstacle in front of the aircraft and send pull commands to the flight controls if something is detected that risk a ground collision. This is much different from low altitude penetration mode that maps the ground in order to allow very low flying.

Zeus67 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) What are the RDI Air/Ground capabilities ? Terrain mapping and Terrain avoidance. In this case terrain avoidance is a subset of terrain mapping. It color codes terrain above and below the aircraft's altitude. Green for below, red for above. It is a really good feature in low level flight. It also warns you when you get too close to terrain below or on the sides. One interesting feature is that while you cannot lock a target in this mode, if you enter this mode with a locked target you don't lose the lock. So you can ambush high flying aircraft by flying low.

The only thing this radar cannot do is discriminate ground contacts.
