THE KING Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Can an AWACS be jammed by an airborne ECM jammer or is it’s own radar strong enough not to get spoofed? If it can be jammed, will we eventually see it in DCS? Edited January 29, 2021 by THE KING 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what distance can it see individual aircraft that are flying close together? Cmptohocah=CMPTOHOCAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisFX Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I came to ask a question about whether multiple AWACS units spread out could triangulate a jammed unit's position by seeing which azimuth both units detected the jammed threat. This is definitely the question that needs to be answered first!

GGTharos Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) You can do that with a single aircraft.

Sure it can be, it's just that your jammer isn't going to since its purpose is to deal with threat radars. SOJs are not in-game so AWACS do not get jammed - even then, SOJs would be more likely to be aimed at threats as well.
