i’m more of the boob and air intake kinda guy
though a tight bomb bay isnt bad either and very appreciated
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
well put your not-simple argument to me and i will try to answer in same
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
what? it has never stopped you from posting
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.
arent the ng-pods to make more dedicated ew/jamming platforms to replace growlers etc
these links are average but give an overview

the ew/jammers on the f-35

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
