    Dude
    NATO and US sends its AWACS all over the world on operations, I dont think India will be doing that, I think 20 AWACS is over kill, even the Russians dont have that many….and they are the largest country in the world…

    Oh now you have converted it into a “Purchased” category? When did the purchase take place? :rolleyes:

    will purchase, sign for, or order, what ever word you would like to use, granted the planes are not flying the white cresent just yet, but seems like its a matter of time, with respect can we stick to the subject of its capabilities?

    By the way, I opened a Erieye thread, maybe we should all take this chat there!?

    bear in mind though that these complex airborne systems do have some
    amt of downtime, generally the more sw-intensive the product the less the MTBF.

    PAF_fan, the phalcon being a large strategic platform, india plans to build up a tier-2 system perhaps on Embraer platform to cover areas and times the phalcons are not available. with a 5000km land border and 5000km of sea border even 20 a/c are not enough for india to sustain hi-intensity ops all over the place.

    Er….thats strange, even the US has only 25 E-3s and NATO only 18……and they are both bigger then India and conduct many, many more operations……..

    Please no flamers of ANY nationality!

    Can people post info on how 7 AWACS can be used (2 permanantly on station covering northern and southern Pakistan)

    Solid information on its capabilities.

    Can for instance the ericsson radar be integrated with Pakistans ericsson Giraffe ground radar systems, C4i and datalinked to our future JF-17s to give a fully integrated netcentric warfare capability?

    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, it was meant for Golden Arrow

    😀

    Its ok, no offence taken, your right though Indian/Pakistani media are quite unreliable when it comes to defence reporting, but news of this deal is now on yahoo and Swedish press…….

    Looks like it is finally 7 Erieyes for the PAF……..good news at last!

    So 7 aircraft is ok

    3 per air area covering 2 areas = 6

    plus one always in repair/refurb

    Can anyone please answer, are 7 Erieyes enough to keep 2 permanantly on station?

    From Jane’s Electronic Mission Aircraft

    Erieye

    Frequency: 3.1-3.3 GHz
    Beamwidth: 0.7º (azimuth); 9º (elevation)
    Clutter suppression: >80 dB
    Angular coverage: 360º (optimised 120º sectors port and starboard)
    Range: 150 km (low-altitude cruise missile); 300 km (surface ship – radar horizon limited); 350 km (fighter aircraft); 450 km (instrumented)
    Track capacity: up to 300

    Thanks Victor, do you have the same for Phalcon?

    If you are going to compare range I suppose you are using the same Sigma and D values, where Sigma is the radar cross section and D is a constant used to remove false echoes. So out of curiosity (and since I don’t work at any of these manufacturers and have access to this kind of classified information);

    What Sigma and what D has been used when the Phalcon range is being measured? Same question goes for the Erieye.

    Easy dude, lets not overcomplicate matters, it was a very simple question, respective ranges for each system, and it seems Eriye has a longer range (if you belive the links I posted) or Phalcon has a longer range (if you belive Indian press reports)

    Right, but every western source (that we have found so far) gives a range of between 100-200 miles, while ericsson and fas give Erieye a range of 450km , so Erieye could potentially outrange Phalcon….

    Be they delivered or not delivered, I simply asked for a comparison of range, if Erieye is better then Phalcon or vice versa, thats the case full stop, irrespective if it ever serves in the PAF or not, this is an aviation forum after all…..
