Development of ECRS Mk.1 only started in June 2020. There was no physical ECRS Mk.1 at that date.

Yes this is what I meant when I said it’s too old
is there any difference ingame between mk 1 and mk 2
??
MK.1 have ±90° FOV MK.2 have ±100° FOV
Technically speaking, pretty sure all the sources referring to ECRS having ground NCTR are german or are from material covering the ECRS Mk1.
Unrelated, but please take a look when you have time everyone!

What I wonder, if the radar resolution is good enough to identify specific tank types, there shouldn’t really be anything stopping it from detecting stationary ground vehicles as well right? It can identify them based on shape and not just movement after all.
Tho I doubt we’ll be able to report that, both because we don’t have any sources for it and Indras CEO gave an interview this year where she said that the radar can track moving targets specifically
It can automatically identify stationary targets. The bug report mentions that high resolution SAR is used in conjunction with automatic target recognition software to detect and classify targets.
SAR (Synthetic aperture radar) basically makes an image out of the radar returns.
So as long as the radar has high enough resolution, and software capable of scanning the SAR returns and identifying various targets and what they are, then it can ID stationary targets just fine.
SAR is actually one of the many methods used for NCTR on jets as well.
Thanks for confirming my thoughts. I do wonder if we’ll get that capability in game tho
Against stationary targets, probs not for a bit, since all SAR radars already in-game are missing their SAR functions. Against moving targets? Maybe/hopefully.

Fairly certain CAPTOR-M can do that to a certain degree. I’m sure CAPTOR-E is going to do it better
Made this, not much hope it’ll last long though, seeing as gaijin seems dead set on telling German players to kick rocks once again.
German Eurofighter (AESA) should be given ECRS Mk0 or ECRS Mk2

Could Gaijin contact Hendsolt’s EW and Radar comunication manager to clarify the MK1 radar FoR compared to the MK0 and MK2?
I did yesterday, waiting for reply
