Missing RWR feature.

[Beamscanner]

The ALR-67(V2) was added to the Hornet with the "Engineering Change Procedure ECP-510".

This RWR upgrade added the following: "INS stabilization for accurate display in high g maneuvers and during high roll maneuvers."

 

Engineering Change Procedure ECP-510 took place in the early-mid 1990s.

What this means is that the RWR symbols should move to counter the aircraft's own movement after initial detection.

 

ie during a high g turn, the symbol should smoothly slide in clock position to continue to match the bearing of its last detection.

+1. We need that badly. AFAIK, our Hornet and Harrier both have the AN/ALR-67(V2), so it should work like it does in the Harrier, I believe, which appears to be implementing INS stabilization.

In before the guy that claims we shouldn't bother with that icky ECM/EW stuff.

[Jak525]

Agreed. RWR is useless when maneuvering without this, if anything it causes more confusion.

Didn't the 88's HUD box do the same thing? I'm sensing a pattern here.

Well, we don't have INS really modeled in the first place...

Yea seems like this would be an easy enough function ( given general description) to emulate, to represent the an/alr67 v2.

 

Given its 21st century hornet it would certainly be using that rwr

I think there are a few different elements that update slowly but should be stabilized in between refreshes, datalink contacts on the SA page also come to mind.

Perhaps ED will revisit this when working on the F-16 RWR

Then it's a wrong order. False world.

Agreed, but in spite of logic, and 'fair' they appear to be working on the Viper systems and then porting them over to the Hornet in spite of these types of things being 'on the radar' for some time.

Video evidence from VFA-105. 

 

Watch the movement of the RWR track - "2" while the pilot makes a right hand bank (9:14-9:20)

 

VFA-105 did not transition to the Super Hornet until 2006. So this is likely the ALR-67(v2), and is not the ALR-67(v3).

Good point, I submitted that clip among others several times that got added to an "open" bug report about the RWR having mixed features from before and after CONFIG/IDENT 92A and thus being wrong both ways, but didn't think about mentioning stabilization.
