    Crobato, I dont understand why would China need AEGIs secrets, From what I understand IMHO it is a Computer system which bring all the data to one screen type stuff, it fuses all the sensor information of your ships et al.

    Any country with a good base in software and hardware can make one like that suited for its own.

    I dont mean to me rude but its more than just having some software and hardware capability. After 12 years of helping build Naval C2 its simply not as simple as you would indicate. Infact its much harder. Fusing sensors is not the same as fusing sensor data.

    We have been predicting this for a couple of years.

    We have heard other information that confirms this.

    Not the Orb-32 radar then?

    MWS-20 would be the correct Missile warning system?
    TDS-FA Would be the correct Radar warning system?

    «Bekas-01», «Bekas-02» and «Bekas-07» radios

    How do these differ from the R-862 family?

    The only difference i can see that they are used on helicopters whilst the R-862/3 are used on fighters and bombers.

    The Bekas family claim to be a longer range unit as well.

    I have another similiar question on Algerian MiG-21s.

    HUD – ?
    Main Radar – ?
    Comms – R-862 perhaps
    Flares – ASO-21
    Jammer – ?
    Radar Warning Reciever -Sirena-3M: Airborne radar warning receiver
    Electro optic targeting device – None?

    Ok so I have worked them all out now 🙂

    But I am still struggling with two big fleets

    Belgium F-16s
    Turkish F-16s

    Anyone know what radios are mounted on these?

    Anyone?

    THanks!

    I believe now that the Turks use the Aselsan radio on their CN-235s and F-16s.

    Another question:

    I see that Rohde and Schwarz supply airborne radios on the following platforms:

    F/A-18 – Anyone know which country?
    MiG-29 – Anyone know which country?
    A109 – ?
    Apache – ?
    NH-90 – numerous European
    CN-235 – ?
    BlackHawk – ?
    ALX – ?
    AMX – Brazil
    C-130 – ?
    JAS 39 – Sweden
    F-16 – ?
    F-5 – ?
    Gazelle – ?
    Puma – ?
    Super Lynx – ?
    Tiger – Germany
    NH-90 – Germany
    EF2000 – Spain, Italy, Germany, UK
    Mirage 2000 – Brazil
    SU-30 – Malaysia
    Hawk 63 – UAE

    Anyone got any thoughts on the blanks?

    I would imagine Link 16 NATO compatiable stuff…

    The first two items certainly.

    The third set unlikely. I believe they have Link 11 but would be somewhat surprised if they had Link 16.

    Does anyone know what Datalinks the following TURKISH aircraft might have? And who might have supplied the datalink module.

    B737-700 Peace Eagle
    ATR 72ASW
    KC-135R
    SH-60 (S-70B-28)
    AB 212ASW

    Here is another question for you.

    Do the JAS 37’s also have TIDLS or just the JAS 39s?

    in reply to: Hungarian Grippen Datalinks #2523283

    The Hungarian jets have both. All export Gripen have both and the new deliveres and upgraded ones in the Swedish Airforce.

    This enables Hungarian pilots to use TIDLS (Tactical Information Datalink System) between themselves while at the same time use Link16 with other NATO jets. TIDLS autonomously share sensordata with other wingmen and display it on the screens. The links complement each other very well.

    Thank you, thats very useful.
    So they have both TIDLS and Link 16 units on each plane?

    What will now happen to sikorsky…….

    $2bn worth of market in the US military for the next 10 years.
    $22bn Internationally.

    There is too much competition and FMS is going to go down. WIth a pullout of iraq the main source of funding is going to disappear.

    There isnt room for Sikorsky. Expect it to be sold.

    That’s interesting Scorps. I don’t get to talk to many AMI folk, but EF GmbH said that Italy were looking at Crosseye or Crosseye/TRD the last time I spoke to them about it, so I’d be interested in your source.

    My understanding is that Italy has a Towed Decoy on one wing and Crosseye on the other wing.
