Bravo One Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hello, I notice that the time to loose a bandit tagged as "system target" is very fast, like 5 seconds, what makes hard shoot diferent targets on a different bearing. Is there anyway to set the time that the target will disappear on the radar after you stop send waves on him? The hornet does that but I couldn't find on the viper. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florence201 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Depends if you’re in RWS or TWS. TWS will build/maintain a track file as long as it sees the contact every 6.2 seconds. Otherwise it will drop it [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederf Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I did a test where a bugged TWS target was removed by trigger and counted until track was lost. It was ~6.5 second which is too fast. Same when TWS/STT. You're not really changing anything when shooting AIM-120 on an extrapolated v no track though. AIM-120 is already doing a sort of extrapolation of target intercept and should perform approximately equal whether radar is updating the missile based on coast data or not providing updates at all.

Edit: Oh, maybe it's "extrapolated [velocity], [with] no [radar] track"? Edited May 4, 2021 by Machalot "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic.
