lionel4power: More than just "weaponized" It uses link-ZA to form a "radar" that allows it to engage air-to-air targets, either for training (by simulating the targets) or for actual combat ATE explains that the radar simulation air-to-air target generation has two modes: Virtual formations can be generated within the system itself and simulated as radar targets. This function allows for single-aircraft radar simulation exercises. Secondly, up to eight co-operating aircraft can acquire each other as radar targets through Link ZA, a digital network protocol that uses one of the Hawk's three Reutech Defence Industries ACR500 U/VHF radios. Link ZA ensures that every aircraft continuously transfers positional data to every other. This data is then processed by the mission computer on the co-operating aircraft in the network to render a real-time radar page. Displayable on any of the six multi-function displays (MFDs) in the LIFT's tandem glass cockpit, the radar page provides the pilot with radar target information, as if the aircraft were fitted with a real fire control radar system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVX-IW8GHF0 In the above video you can see something rarely talked of - a 30mm auto-cannon (Aden gun-pod) mounted on the Hawk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo07sE-UVko In the above video you can see the SAAF Hawk using the 30mm on ground attack, with impressive accuracy 1 Like

Patchesagain:Everything is hush-hush concerning your Hawks. But the Hawks themselves don't have radar I'm I correct? There was actually a time the British used their Hawks as a second line of defense. |

lionel4power: No, the data is transmitted digitally via Link-ZA (data-link) from nearby sensor nodes, be it ground based radar or Gripen and then displayed for the pilot like in any normal jet. I am not sure as to just what capabilities this provides, I would assume it allows the Hawk to employ radar-guided weaponry as it can now feed targeting data to the weapon. I do know however that the Hawk 120 can fire IR missiles as standard. 2 Likes |

i just hope our tucanos and fourth generation fighters wont come in this camo. i am not an expert here, but i dont think a good military power paints its aircrafts in this camouflage. the US and other advanced nations do not paint their fighters in camouflage. if i am wrong, pls correct me.

MiddleDimension: That's the ground attack tactical paint scheme. Air superiority FSBs are generally gray. 2 Likes |
