    the future isnt specific, just probable
    todays stealth will be countermeaseured but as with other countries designing stealth craft, it develops to higher level

    for specific, i thought my placing yourself in 1990 and looking back and forward 20 years would have a very specific result as to the developing stealth

    i think its best to keep it very simple and basic for overg
    perhaps you should reread his posts he does question it
    its the only conclusion that makes sense to his aesa blindness

    there is no sense posting something like this for him
    “The AN/APG-79 is derived from technology developed by Boeing and Raytheon for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. The radar has an antenna that consists of a matrix of programmable transmit-receive (T/R) modules, which can act cooperatively or individually, allowing the system to act as a “low probability of intercept” radar; a precision jammer; or an ELINT system to locate and target emitters. Functions can be performed simultaneously by allocating blocks of T/R modules to each function; the AN/APG-79 is “multimode” in a very strong sense, since it can actually operate in several modes at the same time, tracking an aerial target while mapping out ground targets. Astonishingly, the high degree of parallelism allows the front-seater and the back-seater to effectively each have their own radar. An AESA is so capable that it is really not entirely accurate to call it a “radar”, since it is more than that.”

    why was my post personal and your post wasnt, it seems subjective

    resarch is exactly what we have asked you to do, it is boring to just keep saying you’re wrong
    pesa is one beam, aesa can use multibeams by using small groups of transmitters in the antenna

    perhaps aesa will makes sense to you when your favorite plane gets it

    you are wrong
    it has been explained
    me neither, i just like pointing out your error
    most people accept it when they’re wrong, some just keep on rabbiting on

    Methinks you get paid by LM & Boeing…

    methinks he left you pointless, only left to make nonsense posts :diablo:

    I meant what good is it to track something that will strike you five minutes later somewhere and there is nothing you can do about it.

    maybe you should look at projected weapon systems for the time frame of hypersonics aircraft
    [ for one, hypersonic weapons are a first step to the hyper plane ]

    Will it?
    Would you care to expand on the exact detailed knowledge that statement is based on?

    get a grip lad, you only need to look at the last 20 years and project that forward
    or for pessimists, put yourself in 1990 and the look back 20 years to 70’s and compare that to now

    well the navy is switching from boeing to LM and senior ex-navy career paths have already been mapped out with boeing, so there will be a transitional period as there is a shift to LM $ handshakes

    but again its a badly writen story, the c model and b models are compatable to navy, not the a model
    the navair high price was based on JET projections, which everyone think is suss, as someone here pointed out, it even included unrelated costs to get a higher number
    its no wonder that…
    “Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz told Defense News he has determined the operating cost figures in the NavAir study “are suspect.”

    but the navair/jet report did make the anti-f-35 fanboys happy for a bit

    why do you think the 18 with AN/ALQ-214 is better ea wise to the 35 with AN/ASQ-239
    as i havent really seen a decent write up on the 239 and i put my hand up as a pleb

    edit, i’ll do some reading first, i think i’m starting to get my head around it, totally different systems for a start. i’ll ask some questions if i get stuck
    re the f-35 radar, i read a post from someone in defense and he said it does some un-named tricky stuff over the apg-79 and qualifies as a weapon

    NGJ is actually planned to be on Growlers as an upgrade, not a replacement.

    One of the key elements of the F-35 is that every A2G hardpoint is prewired to handle a NGJ pod. Think of NGJ taking multi-role to the next level. You will no longer need a dedicated EW/EA aircraft.

    i know, i meant when used on f-35 as a replacement to the growler
    not just for ngj pods, the hardpoints are wired to take large volume data, future proof so that they wont need rewiring for new toys, ‘wire’ is probably optic

    leaving the pods aside for a moment, we do agree that jammers is a generic word for ew/ea systems and that the f-35 has better ‘jammers’ than the teens ?

    I know, I was referring to the current lack of internal jammers in the F-22 and F-35.

    Here is the USN’s Open Solicitation for the NGJ. Lots of info here.

    http://www.navair.navy.mil/doing_business/open_solicitations/solicitation_view_action.cfm?Sol_No=N00019-09-R-0238

    arent the ng-pods to make more dedicated ew/jamming platforms to replace growlers etc
    these links are average but give an overview

    And an AESA based radar can changes modes hundreds of times per second.

    The US is not staying with a Radar-based jammer in it fighters as the only option. It is already finalizing the design of the NGJ (Next Generation Jammer). It is an AESA-based jamming pod that will be carried in a 1/3/5 pod configuration. The F-35 is already prewired to use this when it comes online. There is also reserve space int eh leading edge sensor bays for active EW if that feature is ever needed on the F-35.

    i think you mistyped the first part, you would know the teens use aesa and internal jammers
