Maybe it prioritizes the strongest ARH seeker type signal?
And EW too advanced for implementation on modern aircraft, everything is too classified to do anything. All we have is vague stuff like “significant upgrade” or “performed well” (well it might be a bit more specific but hardly enough to implement)
How the J(M)'s IEWS works is it measures the direction and change in direction of signals on it’s RWR and MAWS, along with signal intensity to find the heading of the missile, it then deploys countermeasures based on that. So presumably it uses more CMs the more directly and closer a missile comes to it, or not deploying CMs if it doesn’t have the energy to hit. It also has the usual sensor fusion for identifying if a missile is a fox 2 or 3 for choosing the CM type to deploy, although, given that it has AN/ALE-45Js and not AN/ALE-47s, i’m assuming countermeasures for this would have to be loaded by dispenser.
The actual threat priority for the pilot is a lot more complex then that, with them messing around with a lot of AI stuff for it.

What MAWS does it have? Any specs?
at a glance i dont immediately see any MAWS sensors, at least nothing front facing
The F-15J(M) has the J/APQ-1 Approach Warning Receiver. It’s a multi-purpose rear facing radar based system, capable of detecting planes or missiles approaching from the rear hemisphere. The sensor is located in the black balls at the tail of the plane. It is only a rear facing system, with the radar or IRST pod capable of covering the forward hemisphere. (The Radar only mentions identifying incoming missiles, it’s not clear if it works for defensive sensor fusion on the J(M), although i doubt it does)
It’s specs are classified still.

And the A-10 is just… it’s indescribable…
I still can’t fathom that chain of events lol
If something moves they shoot at it, it’s that simple
Like T rex in Jurassic Park, they also share walnut size brain

You mean T-55’s?
Wallet warriors at their finest
Nope
Yeah, should see them in Sim. Its scary
No, if it moves like a T-55 it is a T-55. If it has tracks like a T-55 it is a T-55
I wonder if we will ever see the F-16C Block 50 PoBIT with PIDS+ I know in real life some Air National Guard Squadrons have equipped PIDS+ onto their aging F-16C Block 50s I just dont know whether they are recieving the PoBIT upgrade or not

Hopefully we can get them, I mean I don’t see why they wouldn’t be compatible
I just hope they fix PIDS on the F-16AM Block 15 as it should retain every weapon put on the regular pylon aka AGM-65, AIM-120, AIM-9, etc

On the topic of F-16’s, maybe we can hope for this lol
