I don't really understand why you brought EO-DAS into this . But what I can make out is you meant 1) SPECTRA is =equal to or better than EO-DAS 2) Euro-DAS dosen't gives all-round coverage . 3) F18G which is a dedicated EW platform is inferior to Rafale in Electronic attack...

One thing is clear 99.999% of members support Rafale/Eurofighter to win 0.1% support Gripen (includes me as well) and i feel isolated on Mig35 ,me being the only one to support fulcrums . If rafale wins , will ask Sancho to throw a party to everyone . If Mig35/Gripen wins - I would do same

Nope , Eurofighter was the first one to have this capability , PIRATE on typhoon = F-OSF of rafale EURO-DASS + PRAETORIAN = SPECTRA TAD active Decoy on typhoon = ? ? ? ? You can even compare system by system wrt to location and function I have highlighted concerned text with...

Are you sure about the highlighted part - esp the hardware Low volume terminal , because Thales vice president for communications & navigation says something different . According to Thales , MIDS-LVT is not exportable and has certain hardware specifications for LVTs standardized by group...

Reminds me of F18c , mini hornet sort of

Ishan , You should ask this question to Desiman , he has much better contacts . His parents are/were in MoD i remember he told once . He will be in much better position to answer . Personally i feel one of the cheaper jets will make it to short-list to keep other companies at toe and offer...

Lets see whose crystal ball prediction comes true Gripen, Mig35 , F18, go thru . My assessment

DBC would like to hear about that "mission planning suite " and two doubts in specific regarding the procurement of American hardware . First - Regarding some of the sensitive COSMEC encrypted technology . MIDS-LVT which is approved for NATO and allied forces only , how does US...

Hm Finally , got it . Here is post - http://www.defence.pk/forums/india-defence/49798-india-set-discuss-overhaul-su-30-fighter-jets-russia.html#post717116 And this is the link from NPO-SATURN official release ( Russian lang use ENG button on rt side ) ÍÏÎ "ÑÀÒÓÐÍ" I guess manufacturer's word...

Anathema , regarding 117 or 117s engine compatibility with MKI . In Feb or March i remember Sancho and I had same discussion - I had same opinion , but sancho had a link from Manufacturer's website saying 117s is offered for upgrade to MKI . Let me search for it , ask sancho as well .

Depends on what basis your evaluation is Rafale is ahead in some and lacks in some mission . With regards to EW suite if you take whole spectrum for comparison like -Electronic Attack comprising (ARM (Anti Radiation Munitions),Directed Energy Weapons,EM Jamming/ECM,EM Deception -Electronic...

There is difference between 3 terms Passive detection , Surveillance , EW . Look what article says There are two issues with Red Part One - If you are talking of cancelling waves , means onboard-jammers come into picture Second Spectra has cryptoanalytic+spectrum analysis gear on board...

Anathema Basically TMS will have input from LWS,RWR,ELS and will identify/prioritize the threat as per their threat capability algorithms and a display on main screen will be generated , further CMDS will be employed to neutralize it . That is in short TMS This tactical battle-field picture...

O yes , that article was indeed by Sen-gupta . Hope he has some credible source behind the article

Sri Mayawi will go on-board IsAF f-35 and InAF LCAmk2 + Su30mki . It is not a part of LCAmk1 or MKI currently . Currently work-sharing is 60:40 btw DARE lab Banglore : ELBIT system Israel . Advantages are many fold Firstly the DAS1 ( Defensive aid suite one) on LCA and current MKi is...

Anathema , it was not Prasoon . rather it was Force magazine article that started that rumor . And that particular Photo-shopped image of mki with weapon bays emerged . Wing surface + Fuselage based finely blended conformal antennae can be added but weapon bays is just too much to believe .

Thanks for the article Sancho , But the two articles definitely have some mistakes One - The bold part is not true , MKI never used TV in exercise . That is info what I have Second about Rafale , i have my doubts Rafale never had a single face-off with MKI and for that matter F16...

No , its not blind . It has a tracker which keeps the missile trajectory in alignment with target acquired . The missile itself is fired from LTU(launching tube unit) after the target is locked on before launch , what we commonly refer as LOBL(Lock on before launch ) LOBL is achieved by...

Anathema , The news is in main stream media also . I was away for 2 weeks so did not check the posts on forum LiveFist - The Best of Indian Defence: Dassault Reiterates Pitch To IAF For 40 Fast-Track Rafales someone must have posted this above article for sure before , Shiv aroor writes same...

Correction , it has to be 180 out of phase for wavefront to be in destructive interference . Wave-superposition to be precise to produce phase cancellation (phase cancellation) or destructive interaction (destructive interference). To add Active cancellation on SPECTRA is as hyped as...
