feefifofum Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 On the left side of the VTB you will see an indication of your antenna's vertical steering and the raster pattern.

D4n Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Aaaah yes sorry I forgot!

feefifofum Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Per Wikipedia (the leading authority on military technology :lol: ) yes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_Doppler_Multifunction.

myHelljumper Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 RDM developed by Thomson-CSF, now called Thales; evolved into the RDI/RDY. Our mirage have the RDI, not the RDM.

myHelljumper Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The RDI was born from the RDM per my amazing source. :thumbup: The RDI doesn't have its own page. That's correct, RDM was quickly replaced by the RDI because the pilots called it "Radar De Merde" (i will let you google translate that ;)) but I'm sure you amazing source also does not say that :D.

jojo Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The RDI was born from the RDM per my amazing source. :thumbup: The RDI doesn't have its own page. No. The RDM is LRF radar, which can guide Super 530F missile borrowed from Mirage F1 (French Mirage 2000C #1 to #37), or Super 530D with CWI option (export Mirage 2000E). Export RDM were more sophisticated with more options (air to sea, DBS etc...) It was a stop gap pending RDI development which was the first true French look down/ shoot down radar. RDI was a new Doppler HRF radar. Only common point is it fits into Mirage 2000C nose. Mirage fanatic !

feefifofum Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) :lol: Like I said, the foremost source of correct information on military technology. I understand they are different RADAR systems, but I'm sure they took some things they learned from the RDM and applied them to the RDI, which is all that was intended to imply. The RDI doesn't have its own wiki page, and the RDY page doesn't reference the RDI at all, hence the decision to link the RDM page. Point was it was indeed developed by Thomson/Thales. I know enough French not to require translate for that one...good stuff. ;) Edited March 14, 2018 by feefifofum THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Radar De Merde" LOL, what exactly was the problem(s) ? From what I read on other sources, IRL the typical detection range is lower too. That's like advertised car's average fuel consumption :lol: RDY is Mirage 2000-5 radar, designed to work with Fox 3 Mica missile, and multi-targeting capable. It can automatically switch between high, med and low PRF depending on range & elevation settings or targets maneuvers. But it isn't just a new radar, it's a whole new weapon system. Mirage fanatic !
