Quick question with the D or DI viggen, would the rwr be digital in real life or would it still the the same “analog” systen as it currently is in-game
Digital more so, not really well known how its displayed
Thats with the U95 pod
I’d guess that with Gripen’s MFD in JA37D/Di (and with general software update it received) the RWR should be providing more information in fully digital sense while still being limited to 4 detection sensors.
This report uses all i can find on it and if we use this report then we can guess as to what it should be but even then we are missing info for both of the reports as its classified
I have some videos of live footage from this screen working in JA37D
I think ive seen it but if you can send it again that’d be useful
I had 1-2 more videos presenting the MFD but I cant find them. They mightve been deleted by now
So not only should the JA 37C/D radar act as a sort of “active MAW” but it should also provide better rwr detection through datalink with ranging and possible identification.
The reason for the “bad” rwr was the fact that everything was working together to be displayed on the TI in a modern sensor fusion type deal.
This is why having the TI not modeled properly is such an issue and needs to be fixed at least for simulator battles.

Also sorry for not keeping up with this forum, I’m quite busy and not active enough on the game to post a lot of the time lol…
I dont think this is 100% right as it seems to suggest TWS is 1996 when Ericsson proved it was pre 1983
What is the source for it?
The source is International air power review 14
Probs has some basis then but im not hugely trusting it and plus is extremely vague in some of it
It’s vague because it was published in 2004, when the Viggen was still techincally in service.
Yeah so really the info probs is best guesses as even to this day they wont tell us details (ive tried)
Well the thing about these books is they aren’t really “guessed” and they do have accurate information on the aircraft that were in service at the time usually such as the MIG-29, if anything it was probably from talking to engineers and maybe pilots as those 2 groups contributed to the link shown below the image (lots of good info there, AEF.se is my goat), so reaching SMEs wouldn’t be impossible especially at the time.
That’s all educated guessing though, and what is in there does line up with the datalink entry on AEF for the most part.
Also, the reason they can’t give out archives for the JA 37C atleast is because part 2 of the SFI is physically not present in the archives, I’m pretty sure this has been brought up before but the JA 37D is too new to declassify and the JA 37C is not present, leading to a hard dilemma.
