africaken: Those search ranges are heavily dependant on tbe RCS of the platform Thus theoretical detection is, say 400km, but actual detection range is much shorter Factor in the Gripens RCS of 0.1 (approx) and you see where i am going with this? African Defence Reveiw has an interesting article on this topic Also, i would warn against judging platforms on individual aspects and not looking at them as a whole |

africaken:Gripen E/ D have AESA as well, anyway getting back to the ps-05/A the Mk 4 version has a 120km range for targets with an RCS of 0.1m2, the SU 30 has an RCS of 20m2, so yes the ps-05 Radar will track the Sukhoi at well over 200km. Also the Grip has a more advanced HMI, EW suit, HMD and is also more maneuverable. The Gripen it self has a RCS of 0.1m2 so there's no way the Su30 will be tracking it beyond a range of 120kms. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 10:43am On Dec 25, 2015 |
jln115:it clearly states a ps-05/A MARK 3 not 4 has a detecting not even tracking range of 120 km for a fighter aircraft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS-05/A |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 10:50am On Dec 25, 2015 |
africaken:The Mk 3 can detect targets with an RCS of 0.4 m2 at 120km mate, so my argument still stands. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 10:56am On Dec 25, 2015 |
jln115:for a fighter plane to have a RCS of 0.1m2 ,thats when it does have payload(fuel tanks or ordnance ),so a gripen will still light up like a Christmas tree.also a su-30 can carry more fuel internal doesnt need external fuel tanks,so all it hardpoints can carry AAM |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 11:01am On Dec 25, 2015 |
africaken:Yes I understand, yet it still won't increase the RCS to more than 1m2 (excl fuel tank). Thus the Su30 still won't detect it at 200kms. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 12:00pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
jln115:thats isnt true the RCS is threefold,you never ever put into account also the pylons |

africaken:Ok mate so what us the true RCS of the Gripen? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 1:09pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
jln115:3-4 RCS(m2) |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 1:23pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
africaken:So the Gripens rcs increased by x30..... Well in that case the Su30 should have an RCS of 600m2?? Wouldn't even need a Radar, you'll just see in from 200 km away. 1 Like |
