Hello guys,

 

For some time now I am looking for some basic information on the Rafales Optronique Secteur Frontal System but since I don't speak french it is very hard for me to find any hard data or footage of what I am looking for

to me the left ball shaped IRST looks kinda like it could pan and tilt like a FLIR camera.

 

Does anybody know if the OSF can move by panning and tilting like a turret so that you can "look around" with it? Like a FLIR system ball turret does for example:

 

I am looking for quite some time now for information regarding this but sadly I could not find any footage or any written source that says this.

 

Has anybody some info regarding this or some video footage of it moving?

 

Cheers.

osf ir sensor is gimballed, you can see a bit of the turntable base poking out on the starboard side

spf quotes +/-90 deg azimuth coverage, and rotates in elevation for retraction
