Mk2 may have , test regarding it are ongoing ,but no chest thumping before engine of 110+on ,see some maturity

eots update amca mk2

 

[India Super Power]

Can someone say what's difference between eots, das and irst
I basically now about irst but still
But I am noob in this case

 

[Dark Sorrow]

eots update amca mk2

Dude avoid posting infotainment as reference. They have nothing to loose if they report incorrectly.
Let their be some official reporting by DRDO or IAF or GoI or allied agencies.

Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system (sometimes known as infrared sighting and tracking) is a method for detecting and tracking objects which give off infrared radiation (see Infrared signature) such as jet aircraft and helicopters. They can be forward-looking to all-round situation awareness.
Distributed Aperture System (DAS), which composes of several IR sensors (6 in case F-35) around the aircraft for full spherical coverage, providing day/night imaging and acting as an IRST and missile approach warning system. It is IRST with additional missile approach warning system that is generally implemented in software. In DAS output of several sensors in IR-sensor combined (sensor fusion) and acted upon.
Electro Optical Tracking System (ETOS) is another name for Distributed Aperture System (DAS) but nowadays ETOS refer to advanced version of DAS which contains all features of DAS with additional feautres such as day TV (very high resolution day camera) and Eye Safe Laser range finder and beam directing optical channels as payloads and UV imagery.

Difference between DAS and ETOS is very slim. Its more of a marketing term.

eots update amca mk2

This is why I've trust issues with idrw
Electro optical targetting system will be used in mk1 amca too as we saw in the model
But this report mentions it for mk2 specifically lol

Which IDRW article?

Anyways, after I posted the zoomed image EOTS discovery suddenly such article popup means they must’ve cooked this up after it got some attention on Twitter.

How do you reduce RCS for Radar radome?
One needs Radar radome to be transparent to RF-waves and radar are perfect RF-reflection source.

yeah that kind of surface is called as fss (frequency selective surface). research on this field was being carried out in nit trichy (not sure which nit)

hope this helps

I had earlier explored frequency selective surface .
The conundrum I'm facing is that lets consider Uttam AESA which is an X-Band Radar with C-Band LOS RF-communication interface and Ku-Band satellite communication interface. The radome you design must have minimum interference with these bands. If hostile aircraft also uses X-Band radar then radome will be transperent to incoming RF-waves and your radar will act as perfect refelector.

How do we counter this?

I was also thinking this

the bulge of your radar will be seen in enemy radar whatever you use either fss or normal radome

AFAIK, AESA radars are mounted at an angle for this reason only.
FSS is for ground based radars.

Ab sab EOTS par charcha karenge

Life mein alpha bhai jaisi positivity chahiye....kuch bhi ho, aage sab acha hoga...yeh aane wala hai, wo development mein hai, isko display pe lagaya tha
