Nah, Amraam is not BVR, not the current version. Gripen will not use the BVR version of Amraam that is under development in the States. Like I said, Gripen will use METEOR. and in fact the first jet to do so.

nope sorry it’s 4 + 2. I corrected myself…..

No BVR missiles yet. This will be the METEOR missile, during 2005 the Gripen will perform live fire tests of this new European missile.

It can hold 4 of them. (plus 2 sidewinder or IRIS-T also new European missile.)

I have never seen any info on how many targets it can track at once. it is however multimode, can work passive, and of course with the datalink,
radar nfo can be fed from other jets/awacs or ground stations without giving away the position of the engaging jet/missile.

For air-to-air operations, the PS-05/A offers long-range search; multiple-target track-while-scan; multiple priority-target tracking, single target tracking, raid assessment, AMRAAM mid-course update, close combat search and auto-acquisition.the position of the engaging jet/missile.

Much closer to a complete sale is the ERIEYE Airborn Radar by Ericsson Microwave systems. And radar is considered a defensive system which
is not as sensitive to export as a fighter/bomber jet.

Btw, with the news of the interest of Gripen jets at least one
israeli newspaper claim this will shift the power-balance and pose a
serious threat to the Israeli nation. But of course they equip India…
