Its in the HUD, but the gun pipper line is not on the Gripen.

Okay the first one does show the pipper line on target!

Any idea on what kind of data transfer rate can be achieved on L-Band aesa array ?

Same as Link 16.

Its based on Russian assistance and out of country components.

SD-10 has range 70 km against head-on target.
SD-10A range is increased to ‘greater than 70 km’.

There were ‘only’ 70 F-14B and 55 F-14D, majority USN used F-14A.

AWG-9 radar ranges are 215 km vs 5m2 detection.
Against a single target this reduces to 116 km over +/-65°.
In multi-target this reduces to 96 km over +/-20°.
Performance was excellent over water and ‘degraded’ over land.

Against a bomber is 333 km search and 244 km in TWS.

The F-14D/APG-71 max range is given as 370 km.

None of the F-14-series carried AMRAAM (it was integrated on the F-14D, but never carried)

Although an older radar, this explains why the Eurofighter Captor uses its fast mechanical scanning TWS over entire arc.

Yet more crystal ball gazing and Dubai Air Show speculation?:

UAE is looking at

1) New fighters – either Rafale or additional F-16E/F or a mix
2) AEW – Probably E-2D or Boeing 737 (I doubt this will be resolved this year – they have only just received Saab 340 from Sweden. I’m guessing they will wait for E-2D to become operational).
3) Trainer – They cancelled the announcement for the M-346 15 minutes before the press briefing in 2009.
4) CH-47F
5) AH-64D Block III

However the UH-60M, C-17A and C-130J, A310MRTT orders are out of way.
