TomOnSteam Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 There are some interesting upgrades coming to the new Warthog - one of which is a radar pod - rumored to be the https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104604/anasq-236-radar-pod/ source: How much of a beast will the A-10 be with a synthetic radar pod for detecting ground targets?! I would love this for my warthog :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panton41 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Most likely not: 1) It's only for the F-15E. 2) It's more for recce than anything else. 3) It's so heavily classified the USAF won't even publicly say how many they have.

QuiGon Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 1) It's only for the F-15E. Not anymore. The A-10C is getting it as well now: https://www.businessinsider.com/air-force-a10-warthog-sensor-weapons-upgrade-including-new-bomb-2019-9?r=DE&IR=T I don't see this being a realistic option for DCS though... Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Ziptie Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Not anymore.

While Combat Aircraft reported that the A-10 was set to receive "a Synthetic Aperture Radar pod," Worley told Task & Purpose that ACC has "only conducted initial suitability studies and [has] not yet made a final determination." Not just yet.....
