Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 1)

But that paper only mentions target classification…

So IR only for the ships? Interesting
The Japanese GCS IR guidance kits were refused to be added because it couldn’t be proven the IR seeker could track ground targets, do Hammers have a document specifically saying the IR can track ground targets?

Right which is then furthered by the manufacturer claiming “identification”.

Let me help you here;


So you see the paper is in discussion of SAR imagery and its development, it is talking in reference to Brimstone (would be wild to mention in a SAR paper when it can’t do it)?

And yes it turns out you can iteratively improve on something.

Cool arguing in bad faith then.

Nah, I just haven’t seen any worthwhile sources outside of the NATO dictionary.

Time to bug report hammers only being able to use IR for stationary targets 🤣

  • “valid and non-valid targets”… so like whether it’s a car or a tank?
  • “valid and non-valid targets”… so like whether it’s a T-64 or a Leopard?

Any of those comments could be correct based on the insufficient detail in that paragraph, so don’t got making snarky comments.

Also @Gunjob already gave you the NATO definitions of these terms:

Your example falls under detection (the first step): “separating targets from other objects [i.e. trees]”. From the sources provided Brimstone undeniably has at least target recognition (the third step). So we can drop this rubbish about it only being able to tell tanks apart from trees.

Did the MMW seeker change from Brimstone 1 through 3?

Yes.

  • Brimstone 1 - MMW Seeker
  • DMS Brimstone 1 - New MMW / SAL seeker
  • Brimstone 2 - Improved MMW / SAL seeker
  • Brimstone 3 - IIRC there were further seeker improvements but would need to double check.

You were given sources that did backup Gunjob’s point whilst not really providing anything to back your own. Arguing like this simply makes no sense and it sort of falls into being disrespectful, please try to respect the time that Tech Mods willingly put into the forums as they have plenty of things to take care of already.

they would have to do that for every scan pattern, on every radar they gace TWS+
thats the problem, if you hard code it its going to be a pain in the ass to change something about it or even adding new planes/ radars that would get that feature

Proving me right again and again.
Its language issues on your sides not understanding clear sources of the english language. Stay with french sources

Well then gaijin needs to make tws++ with some esa radar code spiced in, i believe gaijin can do it, maybe by christmas.

nah they are working exclusively on TVC for Jets until christmas for the F22

so where is your source that states that:

The NATO document literally shows you what type Brimstone uses and explains it in great details.

In the quotation in the message.

That one’s a dud.

Honestly, while I applaud @Gunjob , @DevilO6 and others for the effort- @Mulatu_Astatke didn’t even know Brimstone did not have and IR seeker at the start of this discussion.

If one of his core beliefs is that a missile he doesn’t even understand isn’t capable of ATR, then let him think that, there is no point in arguing with an ideologue.

If it had IR we could have FnF Brimstones…Alas it was never implemented
