Also notice that terrain following radar, nape of the earth flight, in weather, are old stuff. The USAF and the Navy have been doing such operationally since 1966 and Vietnam. The Lybian air raid and GWI did dramatically demonstrate that massive low alt penetration was a rather costly endeavor.
Hmm i would like to have numbers… (i) of hat was called “low altitude” (ii) of percentile of loss in both low/medium altitude vs number of missions…
Can somebody give us an update of which of these feateares (Eurofighter picture above) are founded and when they are planed to be implementated ?
Radar, helmet (done), new computers, scalp/SS, new DASS for sure. T3 are plumbed for conformal tanks. No TVC, dunno about passive RWR, no TF mode on AESA. (anyone know which type of terrain following use US fighters, digital maps or radar or both?). Brimstone evolutions (crazyly expensive and overspecialized imho) come to my mind.
