Will F-18C have EW/SA combined with TAMMAC?

IDK what TAMMAC is.

 

The F/A-18C has an SA page which will display Link-16, radar tracks (not bricks), RWR data, waypoints, pre-planed points, SAM rings, etc

 

SAM rings? Uuuuu.

 

Now that is going to be very useful for SEAD missions. :)

So that means once we get the SA page the EW page is quite obsolete for situational awareness, right?

Basically. But it's already kind of "obsolete", since you can put the EW / RWR data onto the HUD.

Not quite, at the moment, since the HUD only shows a limited amount of contacts.

TAMMAC--Tactical aircraft moving map capability.

I mean to combine digital map and SA data to display。Just like the AV-8BEW page in the legend

I found more evidence that the TMSMAC will not exist in the DCS F-18C. There is a paragraph in NMF 000: "MAP Modes/Data Products. After AFC 327, each of the map modes (CHRT, DTED, and CIB) provides a different plan-view map/image. The actual presentation and availability of the The respective images and associated area coverage for each mode are dependent on the map (theater) data loaded in the DMS or installed on the mission Card. Each plan-view map, regardless of mode, presents an image that can support moving map capability and/or slew mode functions. When toggling through the different modes, different map images are available providing the mode specific data is loaded/available for That particular modes and scale. The map modes and their associated data products are:

1. Chart (CHRT) mode provides a plan-view color map derived from Compressed ARC Digitized Raster Graphics (CADRG). This chart product replaces the Compressed Aeronautical Chart (CAC) map data currently used in the existing map (AN/ASQ-196 ).

2. Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) mode provides a plan-view, panchromatic (gray scale), terrain plot with slope shading.

3. Controlled Image Base (CIB) mode provides a plan-view panchromatic image derived from a variety of mission planning, command, control, communications, and intelligence systems."

The HSI that exists in the game is only MAP. This is the model before AFC 327. It is not an upgrade to LOT 20, as LOT 12 and up later upgraded AFC 327.

The TAMMAC avionics subsystem provides a moving map capability to enhance operational effectiveness and survivability and addresses supportability/obsolescence issues facing existing moving map and data storage systems currently deployed.

TAMMAC effectively replaces three separate Weapons Replaceable Assemblies (WRAs), including the AN/ASQ-196 DVMS which consists of two WRAs; the Digital Map Computer (DMC) and the Digital Memory Unit (DMU), and the AN/ASQ-194 DSS which is a single WRA.

The TAMMAC subsystem consists of a new MU-1119/A Advanced Memory Unit (AMU), a new CP-2414/A digital map computer and a High Speed Interface Bus (HSIB) which connects the two. The DMC is a functional replacement for the existing DVMS. Data Transfer Devices (DTDs) used in conjunction with TAMMAC for transferring data to and from ground-based stations are Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) cards or PC cards. Ground-based stations that process data for TAMMAC include the Tactical Automated Mission Planning System (TAMPS) and the Automated Maintenance Environment (AME). Theater data is installed on the maploading card using TAMPS.

AV-8B plus can display radar threat symbols in EHSD and combine them with TAMMAC. (See figure below)

 

Can DCS F-18C combine SA/EW with TAMMAC?

The F-18C's CIB should be able to display images like the AV-8B.
