Hornet_Driver Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 How is radar able to distinguish a target that is moving 90 degrees relative to you from background stuff?
Blinky.ben Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 As for how DCS works I can’t really speak for. However as for GMTI which is the A/G radar mode that would be using Doppler, It works fairly different to A/A radar mode for lots of reasons. But without going into depth in real world normally a speed of around 6-8knots is required to detect a contact. So even if it is in a notch so to speak it will be very short lived due to it not travelling in a perfect notched circle around the aircraft. As for MAP mode it wouldn’t use Doppler so this is an entirely different mode altogether.
