Su30mki has a trump card for next gen warfare.
And who said that only DAS like individual system can give awareness of the threat,last I read some DARE data days after the ew was tested,it said the ew suite for Tejas is developed in keeping the mind of the fast changing world,they they described the ew suite,how the engine integrates the data from every ew sensor,and projects a unified picture of threat to deal with.....
Rafale doesn't have DAS, data fusion is the key,what else you think is " integrated" in the EW suite Mayavi being developed for LCA MK2.....IRST and IRPOD is also an important element for the early detection and tracking.....
First of all let me tell you something DAS is MAWS working at MWIR,its best performance for any small heat signature such as a2a missile is not more than 5-6 miles and for an aircraft 10-15 miles,their were reports that it detected a ballastic missile launch,but no one is so nut that he will compare a ballastic missile with an a2a missile......DAS(system) has got several additional software modes and system integration which functions close to short range IRST(LIKE OLS27)(due to functioning which at Mid wave) gives the 360 situational awareness in the WVR fight.....it has little to no use in the long range fight and a dedicated IRST working at Long range infra red is more needed in early detection and tracking,given the IRST is also cued with the radar(for the range)..And missile launch detection has been with the MAWS...
Finally something sensible. Americans haven't invented something out of ordinary . They have simply connected existing sensors in a more streamlined fashion which go well with stealth aircrafts. Similarly Spectra of rafale is also a better of fusion of existing sensors.
What is the difference bw IRST and MAW itself,modes???and,the hardware theyand the detection principle?AN/AR56 maw sensor which was tested on the f22 also had IRST like feature,and so is the new MAW on spectra Rafale ...As I said earlier,it has IRST modes but for long range,it don't work on Long range infra red wavelength and thus it's range is restricted,in the brochures of NORTHROP itself ,they claim it gives superior situational awareness in the WVR fight and only when cued with the radar it can detect the target at long ranges,which again suggests it is inferior to the irsts on various American and Western aircrafts. In no way A Mid way infrared gonna detect an aircraft at long ranges(100km=62miles). Six ordinary MAWS are definitely not the DAS,but the DAS itself is a derivation from the MAWS.... ..
However keeping all the sensors inside and integrating each other to picture an integrated video was first done by them.....as per the requirements....
It's wrong , As an example In Rafale It's OSF is the primary Air to Air sensor and Radar is primary air to ground sensor .
Have Read about three types of MAWS . Each have its own shortcomings .
most of these mighty Pvt chetoos sellers do that including there God Kalyani.... these Pvt chetoos sellers and there tattu's in establishment make millions and billions for themselves and there looser kids enjoying comfortable life abroad.... Rest are given 24*7 Hindu Muslim , and Chanda in name of wages, jobs and employment.
No the Radar is primary sensor and IRST is secondary,Rafale carries various pods to carry out a2g missions...for ex talios for the LGB missions ,and other recce pods.
Shouldn't jump to conclusions and numbers like that let them release the values for AAM . An IRBMs exhaust plume is many orders of magnitude more than that of an AAM.
Cant say about J-20 or F-35, but this is how much bigger it is compared to Tejas radome (comparing size of cockpit), which reportedly has same sized as Rafale.
Its myth that GaN radars can detect stealth.
Somewhat wrong assessment .
"detection of A2A at 400miles",I don't have emoji option here but that sure attracts those in every form.....
