Hornet_Driver Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 How is radar able to distinguish a target that is moving 90 degrees relative to you from background stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky.ben Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 As for how DCS works I can’t really speak for. However as for GMTI which is the A/G radar mode that would be using Doppler, It works fairly different to A/A radar mode for lots of reasons. But without going into depth in real world normally a speed of around 6-8knots is required to detect a contact. So even if it is in a notch so to speak it will be very short lived due to it not travelling in a perfect notched circle around the aircraft. As for MAP mode it wouldn’t use Doppler so this is an entirely different mode altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
