I plead guilty.

But again, having a degree (I am not questioning lukos’ qualifications) does not prevent you to be biased (no more than a few days ago I had a short discussion with an aerodynamics student denying some Rafale performance. He solely based his arguments on F-16 E-M charts, I’m not gonna explain why it is irrelevant and bad faithful), and reading many of lukos’ posts kinda made me skeptical on his assumptions.

Interested in explanations 😉

Depends on the cause.

praobably a hydraylics leak.

a data based are used, because otherwise the jammer will overload itself trying to retransmitted everything it received from background noise
it doesn’t matter how fast you can converting a analogue signal to digital one, you still have to analyse it, there is no way around it, think about it, what is the difference between a deceptive jammer and a noise jammer? , a deceptive jammer try to fool enemy’s radar into bealiving the jamming signal is the reflected signal while still created false information in the jamming signal
both side will have to deal with multiple wavelength, coding and random scan pattern , PRF but the radar side know exactly what it send out, thus it doesn’t have to waste time trying to separate signal from noise, the tracking of target required range, velocity the first are calculated by taking : speed multiple with time, the second are calculated by looking at the doppler shift

you are trying to argue that a ECM system which doesn’t know the frequency, scan pattern, PRF rate, waveforms, coding.. etc from the start, can somehow magically analysis, modify, and retransmitted enemy radat signal faster than the reflected signal can come back to the radar source, that is simply nonsense, it like saying it easier for someone to guess the password than for the owner to know his own password

Agree, but.
Thats where the notion of repetitive patterns is coming in (remember when i said not 1000 different wavelengths?)
Patterns can be recorded and compared using massive parallel correlators…

RIP.
It was first delivery flight of MSN 023. Plane was sensed to go to Turkey, but was tested by a six spanish people crew. 4 of them are dead, one in serious state, another in very serious state.
Best to families and colleagues.

well the photo probably taken before the shot, unless you can prove otherwise

i already copy pasted the discussion i had with the pilot. If any of you is going to PAS 15 btw, he will be there. Oh and btw i work with Defesanet, the news agency he is working for in Brazil. easy find.

Depends on the range of the missile and the seeker. Meteor is capable of real world intercepts at well over 100km and has a narrow-beam ARH seeker, so after a minute or more of flight time, that narrow band seeker needs an update and the advantage of the two-way link is to inform the firing aircraft when the ARH seeker has lock allowing them to go fully defensive and evade anything coming back the other way. In the case of ASRAAMs and MICA IRs with wide-angle IIR seekers and real world ranges of 30km head-on, I doubt an update during the few seconds of flight between firing and automatic target acquisition is very useful, especially when the firing aircraft will point the missile towards the target anyway. The CAMM (M/L) on the other hand is based on the same missile, is vertically launched and has a narrow-beam ARH seeker, so knowing where to aim that beam is necessary.

It’s now ‘over 20nm’ IIRC, so what will it be next year? Over 30nm perhaps? We’re also arguing about the details of a non-shot here, i.e. not a live fire. I could nail a domestic cat to the pylon of a Tucano, detect the approximate position of Mirage on my six, and simulate a launch, and still have demonstrated the same capability as this test did.

The first time i said way over 10 nm. After checking data could be disseminated on the net i say 20nm

The range of the MICA VL is 20km, the range of CAMM (L/M) is 25km and that’s only 10% longer than the ASRAAM an is weighed down by a datalink. I could also mention CAMM-ER at this point but I’ll leave that topic. It’s kinematically the best short range AAM on the market..

vs (MBDA site)

CAMM for future Air operations
The same CAMM missile design for Navies and Armies is easily adaptable by MBDA for Air Force use on
Fast Jets. With MBDA’s experience from ASRAAM and Meteor ensuring world class performance will be
achieved. MBDA has been working with the MoD on assessing how CAMM technology could be used to
sustain or enhance the Royal Air Force’s ASRAAM capability in the future

And…

The UK Ministry of Defense is funding an MBDA study of future family of
‘anti-air’ weapons known as the Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAMM). The new weapon will utilize the airframe and some of the components used with the Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile (ASRAAM) and introduce advanced
and enhanced capabilities for aircraft currently deploying this short range, heat seeking missile. But CAMM will be aimed at more applications than AAM

CAMM shares some components and aerodynamics with ASRAAM, but it is IMPROVED. You can’t conclude the range of missiles from their evolutions in another environment. Flawed logic.
