lol the moment Sancho and Prateek come to an agreement on the capabilities in the MRCA thread I will start a thread
what is the equivalent of the PIRATE on the Rafale ?
LOL, not going to happen, because he don't even read his own sources properly, that's why I have to correct him so often.
PIRATE on EF => FSO on Rafale
DASS/ PRETOREAN on EF => SPECTRA on Rafale
But both systems are more capable on the Rafale, FSO incorporates a TV channel that gives Rafale pilots the advantage to visually identify enemy fighters at way longer range. That's the way they often are able to make the first BVR shot and that's said to be the way how they shot down the EFs during ATLC.
SPECTRA incorporates also interferometry techs, which allows Rafale pilots to geolocate enemy radars, be it from fighters, or ground threats. Combined with MICA IR and AASM, it gives the Rafale pilot the advantage to attack an enemy, without using the radar and giving away it's position.
I hate to agree but RAFALE indeed seems to have achieved better fusion of sensors..
However in case of EF- Since development is till on, So final product will turn out better than Rafale.

The problem is EFT is a highly evolving platform and no one knows for sure if a particular capability that is promised is actually there on the platform or even if it is there in what phase it is in - integration or testing or live firing etc.
Same is the case with Rafale, though to a lesser extent.
