None that I know of, but I haven’t spent a lot of time looking. But if there is no open-source link to a fact, does that automatically mean it isn’t true?
Textbooks, reference books, conference papers, press briefings and plain old-fashioned one-on-one discussions and interviews can be full of facts that never appear on free internet pages.
Having made it to the ‘magic’ retirement age of 65, such things are now of little professional concern to me. But just for the record, the AESA radar planned for the Gripen is due to have an ISAR mode. It’s been reported in the defence press.
Well, glad to see that you still visit here!
I should have made it clearer that I was replying to jackjack the very same way he replies to every french poster. I in no way implied that Phoon/Gripen would never get ISAR once they get an AESA, just that he is claiming things without basis while at a same time asking for a link for everything “we” say.
And while we’re on the radar issue, I wouldn’t be surprised if the EF/Gripen jumped directly to GaN antennaes, given the timeframe.
