What radar would that be? I saw something about scaling up MiG-23MLD radar for Su-27 failed, but that was it.

Hmm according to Overscan’s long lost guide on avionics.

The original Su-27 Myech radar were supposed to be ESA, with similar capability as Zaslon OR slotted planar array which based on Experimental Soyuz radar. Both systems however soon proven to be too demanding and problematic for Soviet electronics industry at that time. Thus the design team went back to cassegrainian system.

The overinterpretation of why PAKFA carrying dumb bombs really amuses me.

Why slotted array? I think such upgrade would definitely comprise a phased array radar.

Cheaper than ESA like bars. Plus better management in sidelobe (not as extensive as true ESA but still) compared to cassegrain antenna.

In other hand NIIP offers Pero.

Perhaps an Irbis-E back end on a Zaslon Array.. or even on a new Gimbal Array?

Seems unlikely for gimballed array. Irbis backend is more possible.

One thing i would love to see is return of 1.4m diameter Zaslon-M array 😀 With Irbis backend and transmitter.. it’s gonna be monster.

Doesn’t make any difference. The statement you made stated ‘same range regardless of altitude’, therefore it doesn’t permit a comparison. Altitude affects both jet and rocket range massively. Jet engines are more efficient at altitude on top of the reduced drag.

How massive ? Give me one example.

The thing is that Jet engine powered missile will always be more efficient compared to rocket..higher ISP Thus can compensate any lower L/D ratio at lower altitude thus still able to complete mission in Lo-Lo-Lo trajectory. That is the base of my statement.

Range is the function of Trajector a higher range is likely achieved with Hi-Hi Profile with Dive Trajectory.

Tsikron as they mentioned in that document , The Scramjet is not effecient at low altitude and they have used the concept of seperating warhead , the engine detaches with the warhead and the warhead flies to the target self correcting itself.

Well only for rockets and ramjets though.

Turbojets or turbofan powered missile may have same range regardless altitude as they can actively adjust the engine according to expected operational condition.

I am not sure which book you are referring to. There are tons of such books at the USAF library apart from libraries owned by DoD & Pentagon. I suspect some books are available in the open but I do not know which book you are referring to.

All books i mentioned are in AIAA Library. Simple google search and you’ll find this

Na Shneydor’s book

There are many more which can even help you make your own program for simulating missile kinematics.

Did I ever say that I am here to criticize your work?

Then for what purpose you’re asking me those maths ? Getting away ? Shut me down ? Insults ? i think those three laters are more probable.

How is calling someone an “end user” be defined as “Cancerous” and ” not constructive”?? An end user in this case refers to a pilot. I thought it was a given, but clearly you did not understand it so you label my post as something condescending? That’s rich.

You know.. One behavior i see in military forums when someone got cornered and things went technical is suddenly asked for information to get away and hope to shut down the questioner. That is the cancerous behavior. It usually ended with insults such as “You’re not end user thereby you don’t know nor have rights to get into technical things”

If i were in your position.. I will make use the information provided, find the books, read it.. make something out of it. Show the result here.

Not everything lies in the “secret” or “end user” wall. If you really willing to do the search.. you will find the required information. But that if you really interested in missile design anyway.

Simulations are nothing but mathematical models. Tactical Guidance Research and Evaluation System (TiGRES) is one of those premier institutes that carries out such simulations. Simulations are being made on a regular basis but never shared, even with people from the [US] Air Force unless they themselves are involved in either using those missiles or in MRO.

Then what ? Treating guided missile as magic bullet ?

The best and closest way to understand missile guidance and performance to me would be relying on mathematical models provided by books. and i see no reason why i shouldn’t because those books are written by experts in the field. Some books are even provide source codes for missile guidance simulation program. All need to do is someone to make use of it.

I would be happy to share you another book which like Paul Zachary’s Tactical and Strategic missile Guidance and M Shyednor’s book on missile guidance. Both which im unable to make use with as it contain heavier amount of maths than

You need feedback about what – the book or your calculations ?

Everything…Feel free to criticize my spreadsheet. and of course show yours.. I give my source.i want to see how you use it.

I want more people to make use of that book. I want to see more and more excel spreadsheet being made based on it. Not suddenly shouting “Hey you must be end user to do this blablabla” I found that behavior cancerous and not constructive.
