Beams that intersect interact. It prevents beam crossing.

I doubt you’d be offered unfettered access to the Growler and it’s subcomponents. You’d be better off using Flankers to tote around EW kit, considering they have much better excess energy ratios. It’s not the size of fighter that makes it survivable, no, it’s how much excess energy you have and how you use it. This is why the LCA is not going to replace medium and heavy fighters anytime soon.

You could very well make a satellite do that, but you’re dependent on orbits for anything below geosynchronous. I have a feeling they’re talking about their optical sensors; everything about them and their function is classified. Most of the satellite imagery being used by the military is 1-meter resolution. The CIA uses the sharper images for obvious reasons.

What aircraft were lost in Afghanistan since 2001 by what causes and what is the trend?!

At least 11 helicopters were officially downed by hostile fire.

Seems like the other 120º of coverage is going to be at an awful premium. Maybe they should tackle the air-to-air missile first, then worry about rear facing radar beams and so forth.

That would lead one to suspect the program is still in the closet.

A fair bit of work was done on the aircraft’s fly-by-wire system. Some of the hardware was exhibited at a defence show a few years back.

Displayed, when, 20-25 years ago? The program has been dead for 19. 🙂
