Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

Yeah the top one looks very much like what we see on Stormer HVM
The 30cm flat seems to be the class used on LML and Rapid Ranger and a Yagi type one is now on the MANPAD

Chance we can get the orange training/safety filter removed from the targeting head some day?
Emitter’s supposed to look like this in combat conditions

That would have to be a report with proof it has to be removed. Considering it covers what seems to be the laser, it has some basis.
Can make a report for it tomorrow.
If only i could read whats here

I wonder if the Ozelot might have IFF as well. In the TSA 1400 brochure, there’s a photo of the Ozelot, just as there is of the Stormer HVM, etc. The Ozelot already has ADAD, and I think it would make sense for it to have the same IFF system as well. Looking for the IFF antenna might help too.

Thanks, that will be enough proof to get it removed.

Out of curiosity, where do you get all of this?
You always seem to have the best picture/source for any situation.

Ozelot might not have it, as it is designed to work in tandem with command vehicle, that has it on radar

Wait do you have more info on that radar? I’m 99% sure the ASRAD doesn’t get an IFF in game and it uses the same radar system

ASRAD has IFF.

As for data. Both use HARD radar, but if the back-to-back IFF antenna is the same, i have no idea.

This?

I dunno. Probably years of experience searching for obscure reference pics for military equipment. I used to do a fair bit of 3D modelling for video games/sims, so have spent many an hour looking for the right ref for a detail I wanted to do.
Maybe Google’s algorithms just know the kinds of things I’m looking for by this point 😄

Im kind of late, but still.
If you scroll up a little you can see the picture of Stormer, that after being cross referenced confirmed it is equipped with low profile IFF antenna, therfore cementing the fact Stormer is equipped with it.
Other Stormers can be seen fitted with it, including the one in the video where Thales representative tells it has IFF.

Now that we have the picture of IFF, i realised the the cut in the antenna is there, so it can fit over ADAD when it is elevating

Cheers added to the report.

Stormer HVM should not have blanking plate
