tomcatter Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 A very clear explanation, so thanks,. Just a doubt, when the missile changes it´s PRF, it is to a higher frequency? Thanks for share your knowledge with us.
GGTharos Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 The PRF will usually go from HPRF to MPRF for terminal guidance. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
shagrat Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Ok, I'm wrong ( no expert, definitely) it is the data link feed guiding the missile, mixed that up, but I understood METEOR ( with Typhoon and Gripen) is the first dual-link missile. As you said the missile can get updates during flight, I understood even change targets through the 2-way link. Now as the data link is a "picture" generated, updated and shared by all aircraft on the same net, the wingmen can use their radar to update target information well out of engagememt range of the enemy aircraft, and relay the target data to the METEOR through the data link...

shagrat Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 ...I can't find the video about that EF2000, showing that capability. Ok, I guess it won't be already implemented, as the METEOR suffered considerable delays, but current schedule is "until" 2017, as far as I've read. Still I'm quite shure other aircraft and updated missile will quickly implement similar features.

GGTharos Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 M-Link and the data-link that's fed to the aircraft are not the same thing. So, maybe newest missiles can use a proper data-link, I don't know. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
shagrat Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) I guess they just use the data-link feed for updated picture and the M-link to update the missile course... At least that would make sense. Anyway, with the current estimates of NEZ for the METEOR of more than 3 times higher than "normal" missiles, it is an impressive stand off weapon... more like a cruise missile on steroids against air targets. :D Edited October 4, 2014 by shagrat Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 11 | Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 64GB | GeForce RTX 4090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)

Python Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I agree, I like it more as it is, I guess the Swedish air force care more about functionality than aesthetics... weird ;) Also, my post seemed to disappear during the down time, but an F-15D crashed close to home in Lincolnshire (UK) yesterday, the single pilot got out okay. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-29544064 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Emu Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) No ... nothing like that at all for the 120 or the Meteor. Typhoons have used an AIM-120C5 with 3rd party designation if that's what we're talking about. The firing aircraft has remained passive throughout. http://ukarmedforcescommentary.blogspot.co.uk/p/eurofighter-typhoon.html Here's a more official link: http://www.eurofighter.com/news-and-events/2009/04/unique-amraam-firing-with-eurofighter-typhoon News | Apr 1, 2009 Yesterday we saw the success of a unique AMRAAM firing trial at Moron Air base in Southern Spain. The trial was the result of close cooperation between the Spanish and British Flight Test Centres of EADS CASA and BAE Systems, under guidance of Eurofighter GmbH, using Eurofighter Typhoons IPA4 and IPA5 - Spanish and British aircraft respectively. The objective of the testing was to fire the AMRAAM missile from a Eurofighter Typhoon whilst its radar was in passive mode and thus “invisible” for Electronic Support Measures (ESM) Systems. The necessary target data for the missile was acquired by the radar of a second Eurofighter Typhoon and transmitted using the Multi Functional Information Distribution System (MIDS). Both aircraft were separated by quite a distance in range. This scenario is especially relevant for Eurofighter Typhoon’s Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air combat capability against high level threats, including Low Observable aircraft. Spain’s IPA4 led the trial as the “firer”, while IPA5 as the “cooperator” illuminated the target with its radar active. This trial is the first known testing of its kind and is the first missile firing that Spain has participated in as part of the Eurofighter Typhoon programme, building on their previous flight test work which includes Meteor environmental testing and air-to-ground weapon trials. The complex test was meticulously planned over several months and involved a large team of experts from across all partner nations as well as the US, who provided support for the exercise. The trial took place at a closed range in Southern Spain using a Mirach drone. The 2-way link on the Meteors will also tell the launch party when the seeker has acquired the target and is self-guiding. Not sure whether it's the same for AMRAAMs. Edited October 11, 2014 by Emu
GripenNG Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I actually think the Gripen E cockpit looks better, especially the HUD. Maybe it's just the photos. I have to say that the standard three displays look a lot better than the WAD option. But maybe it´s just because its still in photoshop. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Snooze-81st-vFS

nscode Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 A tragic event not far from where I live today. A brand new SkyLeader 600 crashed during an opening ceremony for a new private airport. The airport owner who flew it and one passenger were killed. The crash was captured on video that can be found here. Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Yurgon Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 A tragic event not far from where I live today. A brand new SkyLeader 600 crashed during an opening ceremony for a new private airport. The airport owner who flew it and one passenger were killed. The crash was captured on video that can be found here. RIP :( What happened? In the video it looks like a steady climb until full right rudder kicks in, causing the plane to plummet to the ground from too low an altitude to recover. Pilot error or malfunction? :confused: Or was it climbing too steeply all along, not gaining enough airspeed?
