Additional information;
basically all radars showing up as “PD” on Gripen
The RWR classes pretty much every fighter radar as F for fighter (or PD currently) rather than identifying the specific radar set and aircraft that it is attached to.
(E.g mig-29/su-27 show up as PD now rather than M29)

According to the source, the library has 10,000 stored emission modes. I don’t see why that would be necessary if anything within a certain range is just considered “F” for fighter.

Will the 0.5GHz count as low band? As Gripen has a low band antenne. It is C band
I believe this is the current data-mined info, and then on dev server Mig-29/Su-27 just show up as PD. Perhaps two separate issues?
So some of these I don’t believe are gripen specific (Though as F-8s are one of few aircraft with decent-ish sarh’s at 10.7 it would be good to know).
So upgrade to C will be confirmed. Hard do say about elevation, but wingtips sensor might suggest it did got ± 90 option
TLDR:
all threats show up as “PD” or “F” instead of specific threats.
and the JAS39C is stil using the AR830 instead of the new BOW-21
Here is a better picture of the system from Saab themselves;
@Gunjob @Necronomica The BOL pods are part of the EWS-39 upgrade. It cannot have BOL without BOW-21 upgrade to go with, and MAWS.
I think that specific image is the prototype version as it has MAW.
They seem to be a part of EWS 39
The in service JAS39C does not have a MAW system.
I have some appointments today and then tonight I will begin working on a report @Panther2995 @Gunjob @Necronomica
Allow me some time to compile information and test the in-game RWR limits.

EWS 39 is like other system like President-S or smth else. If the customer wants MAWS or low band antenna on his gripen, then he will have it.
Something the Gripen MAWS should do is determine if a radar or IR missile is launched and then deploy either flares or chaff as needed.

Celcius Tech makes the RWR and chaff / flare pods
RWR look-like that
