hachiman Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Hi. I have 2 parts to this question. 1) How does a Radar Guided Sam work. You get what I call a single system SAM like a Tunguska or OSA which does all the work, but then you get a Multiple part system like the S-300 which is huge and made up of many parts. So whats the difference between the single and multi part systems? What do the different radars like’ Search, Tracking and Fire Control do?? 2) Does anyone have a list of each of the component parts of the Multi Part Systems? So what is needed to make a complete system out of the various parts? Thanx
Megagoth1702 Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Usually what you need is: Search Radar Track Radar Launcher. The BUK11's launchers have a tracking radar built in them, so all they need in addition is a search radar to properly function. I am not sure at the moment what the command centers are there for.:-/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] System specs:2500k @ 4.6 GHz 8GB RAM HD7950 OC'd Win7 x64 Posting tracks to make your DCS better - attention bump incoming!
Eddie Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Have a read through the various bit of info available on the net. Starting with the link below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_guidance Not all info is available to the public, especially when it comes to system specifics, but it's good enough for you to gain a reasonable understanding of the basics.
maturin Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 The S-300 paints you with both Search radars (this keeps changing in patches), and only turns on the Tracking radar when the missile is launched. It only needs a TR and one SR to kill you, so unless you kill both search radars (pretty much impossible to do if defended properly), you need to wait to be fired upon in order to hit the TR. And then there's the Buk, whose launchers can engage at shorter range even when the search radar is destroyed. And no site can operate if the Command unit is dead.
