a computer chip is only capable of process only one instruction at a time. That means, at a specific time, the aircraft electronic system can only provide position of one target. Then how is it possible for an F-15’s radar can keep track as many targets and launch many missles each homing independently its own target.
I saw this somwhere and i couldnt come up with a answer, help please:)

i saw absalon in the summer fitted with a terma radar (scanter 4100 or something similar). for getting smart-s mk2 they have to wait a little.

What radars are fitted to the two new Danish Flexible Support Ships of the Absalon class?
I dont seem to be able to find any info.
Or are they still waiting for the down-select decision for the three smaller OPV type ships?
Thanks in advance for any info.
One SMART-S Mk2 air search radar and two Ceros 200 fire control radars for each ship.
