RAH-66 Comanche missing avionics

You think IRCM also? And it’s 130 countermeasures right?

It won’t get 130 countermeasures, documents just say it has M-130 dispensers it doesn’t give a definitive number so reasonably it would either be 1 or 2 dispensers. Each M-130 dispenser has 30 total countermeasures. The amount of chaff and flare is up to the crew since it is configurable. So really it should end up with either 30 or 60 CM’s.

Not an effective ircm tho, just that disco ball thing that doesn’t do anything to irccm missiles that every fighter and sam would be using at this br

It’s the same IR Jammer that the MH-60L DAP and AH-64’s has which from what I’ve is passable. By far not the best but also can come in handy a few times.

It surely isn’t Ka-50 IRCM, but I’m hoping it even gets it. Is it staying at 10.3? (I don’t remember what the ground or other mode Br it is).

Right then this is just ridiculous now

Clearly they just don’t care about modelling this thing correctly.

Just watch them come back do the same with the M-130 report now.

With the ability of the RWR (ALR-39A(V)1) to identify emitters, it could be set up to (Active, Covert, Standby, Off) automatically to activate only in response to a relevant IR threat being detected, so the power could be provided activating the Noise source (Arc Lamp) should it be needed by the pilot.

AAQ-8 -1

Also the ALQ-144(V)3 is literally installed on the AH-64A. So it does exist on a real vehicle, and as an aside, the mention of both high and low frequency modulation means it is likely able to inject the appropriate signals to defeat some types of IRCCM.

“This was not implemented on a real vehicle”

Oh that is glorious BS and they know it.

Should we dig back out the Yak-141 and it’s entire sensor suite and weapons which were never implemented onto a real vehicle?

Also, don’t the SU-57 and F-35 have DIRCM? If IRCM contradicts the concept of stealth aircraft then why does the two most flaunted stealth aircraft in current existence have IRCM built into them?

Like, this is really well known.

Any insight?

oh, also neat patent explaining how the ALQ-144 works.

Potentially we could ask for most variants, if they consider the following. I think it might be a good idea to ask for the -114N since We’re only getting the HEAT warheads for the hydra’s.

More reports all are live, now.
