that’s the thing, they don’t need to do it in real time, they train the AI over time.
in the same way a radar can see the difference between a missile or a plane. they don’t need to find that out on the spot, they know how they look beforehand.
Yes but amount of computing power required to search for the patterns in that noise in real time is above of what current jets have
it really isn’t, because they don’t need to decipher the entire thing on the fly, just the last little bit as the main portion is already in a dataset of a trained AI.
Yes, one day we will see AI on a jet that can solve that, it’s already kinda planned for 6generation jets. But not for now
Are you implying that sequence is pre-programmed? If so - no it’s random and generated on a go.
For last specific part I even have a doc somewhere I believe, maybe I will dig it out later.
Gripen already has it. i think more jets have it than you realize.
not the sequence, the general pattern, you don’t need the exact decipher as you don’t need all the “data” it contains, you just need to know that its there to begin with. if you compare to the password, you don’t need to solve the password, you just have to know that’s its there and how big it is to know its not worth trying to guess so you have to go a different rout to gain access.
I’ll look into it, what’s the variant?
C/D and a bit more modern on the E
for the last part:
rwr also improves/improved so it isn’t that easy to say, that it is unspottable.
You could take the sum of all signals from directions over multiple bandwithds etc.
It isn’t easy for sure, but don’t forget that development happens in all areas.
So far, that parts of physics/maths are literally secret and stuff^^

no it’s not, my Phone can do it
you’re never scanning all Bands, you’ll have your Reciever(s) Fitered to the Frequency band(s) that you’re expecting to see something in, and it doesn’t matter if that radar is sending in the X band like a CASTOR-E (AESA) or the S band like a USN ship, as long as you can recieve this band you will always be able to pick up the direction of that Sending radar
you’re not looking for rare patterns in an otherwise jungle like Band, you’re looking at a band that nothing else uses and any contact there will be a Radar, you don’t even need to look for a specific pattern then unless you want to definitely Identify the Specific Radar that’s looking at you
the reason why the rumour came up that they’re invisible to RWR is because AESA radars have to use different frequency bands than older PD radars to function, those bands were entirely filtered out on older RWR designs
Not really. AESA can be detected by RWRs.
No and yes. Emitters can work independently. But it’s not 1 frequency per emitter. You need to have several of them at the same frequency to do get interference between the waves which allows to form a beam.
Most of the LPI modes are through signal’s waveforms, scanning patterns and beam patterns
And don’t even dream. The radar dev wont do it and would end up with some nonsense. Which is what happens when they don’t pay to get a radar consultant from all the premium F4S, F5, 23ML sales.

Considering the simplifications already done for the sake of gameplay/balance/etc, I would not expect AESA to have any specific or advanced features. I’d imagine it’d have smaller notch windows and still be susceptible to multipathing.
Essentially a better PD radar with insane scan rate. I would like for it to also have the same TWS the F-14A had at launch but that’s copium from me.
The Pantsir already has PESA modeled, AESA will probably be the same thing but slightly better
That is my expectation as well.
There’s also the ASRAD’s radar.
yea but thag thing doesn’t have AESA modelled
it’s modelled as a Bad PD radar
Which kinda goes back to, AESA will probably be modeled for planes to be just a PD radar of some sort.
@someweirdname
It is just very small vertical scan. Upgraded HARD 3D has 36 degree scan, but i dont know about PS-91 (Swedish designation for base HARD 3D radar)
AESA =/= frequency switching.
Many AESA can frequency switch, but that’s also a feature of some non-AESA radars.
yea but not scanning in multiple frequencies at the same time, that only AESA can do because PESA and Parabolic Antenna based radars both lack the Amount of antennas required for using multiple Frequencies at once
