silent one Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I seem to remember reading in the f/a 18 features list that ground radar will be implemented. Now worryingly when I read the features list I cant seem to find a reference to this. Likely Im looking in the wrong places. But it makes me nervous after the wait for Nevada after A10 preorder. Is there any news about a time line for this? I dont understand why so little is said about the ground radar. Its fundamental to the platform.

Beamscanner Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Ground radar API was created. But it wont be integrated into the DCS AN/APG-73 radar until after the early access release of the DCS: F/A-18C. Right now they are working on the A2A portion of the APG-73 RWS, STT, and ACM modes which will be available with the release of the jet in EA.

Speedbrake Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Ground Moving Objects I remember the old Jane's F/A-18C simulation and there being the capability to pick up ground and sea moving objects. Is this part of the future radar capability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this part of the future radar capability? Ground and Sea mode will be coming. The question is, will we be getting the APG-73 Phase II with SAR imaging....

So I am trying to temper my expectations until we get the official word from ED or Wags.

Beamscanner Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I believe EXP 3 is otherwise known as "Medium Resolution SAR" MAP = Real Beam Mapping (Likely includes option for Doppler beam Sharpening on the sides of the RBM) EXP 1 & 2 = Doppler Beam Sharpening (different resolutions / doppler/range bin processing) EXP 3 = Medium Resolution SAR (range fixed) SEA = Surface Search GMT = Ground Moving Target (likely includes indication and tracking) PVU = Precision Velocity Update AGR = Air to Ground Ranging TA = Terrain Avoidance IRA = :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_Dragon Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Not yet, meanwhile some personal working on other weapons and systems on the F/A-18C, ground radar technology has not been update a progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 As Wags stated in an older mini update the guy who was responsible for the A/G-Radar left ED, so they had to hire a new guy. I assume the A/G Radar will be one of the last tasks to finish the hornet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
