Hello from Argentina,

I would like if you could add Kfir Block 60 for Argentina
Due this is my first post I am not allowed to put links for further references

Thanks a lot!

Hello mikmyk,

Only for my understanding.

The team proceed with a request of a new platform from a user only if this platform exists or is operational in any country?

Thanks in advance

Just found another loadout problem; British Phantoms FG.1 and FG.2 have no A/G loadouts and FG(R).2 is capable of carrying a recon pod and used as such.

F.3,"F-4J(UK)"s was only used for Air to Air.

I have to add that RAF regarded those FG.1`s as some wery tired airplanes and used them only "ligtly" armed.

By 1980 the RAF Phantoms had been replaced in the strike role by Jaguars and were only serving in the intercept role. So doesn't seem they carried any A/G ordnance.

Have re-assigned this one to Paul, for a subversion of the RAF FGR.2 in the strike role 1969-1977.

Hi Mark

Do you know that you can add and remove weapons, mounts and sensors in the editor? To a large extent these kinds of units are exactly why we added the functions.

Will add these to our to-do list but we do have a good deal in front of it.

Thanks!

Mike

And, of course, I'd be happy to see as many of the specific models as can be added, if the data for them is available.

Rivet Joint: http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Di ... joint.aspx - “The Rivet Joint's modifications are primarily related to its on-board sensor suite, which allows the mission crew to detect, identify and geolocate signals throughout the electromagnetic spectrum.”

EA-6B (ICAP III, ALQ-218 system): http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2 ... stems.html - “The new ALQ-218 receiver is the heart of the ICAP III Prowler, as are the sophisticated algorithms that allow selective-reactive jamming and precision threat geolocation capabilities.”

EA-18G (which also carries the ALQ-218): http://www.militaryaerospace.com/articl ... e-jet.html - “The Growler will also feature the Super Hornet’s new APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, which enables simultaneous tracking and targeting of multiple air and ground targets. Combined with the ICAP III AN/ALQ-218 EW Receiver Suite, which provides precision passive radar threat detection, identification, precision geolocation and jammer control, the Growler will have unprecedented situational awareness.”

F-22A (Software Increment 3.1 fielded in 2012): http://www.defensenews.com/article/2011 ... ction-Line - "This increment is designed to defeat air or surface threats in any threat environment; operational test and evaluation is nearly complete," Knuteson wrote. "So far, precision geolocation accuracy exceeds the requirement by 15%, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) map accuracy exceeds specifications by 55%...”

P-8A: http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2 ... ature.html - The AN/ALQ-240(V)1 electronic support measures system will provide a significant increase in capability for operations in the complex maritime battlespace. The adaptive tuning, precise direction finding and geolocation capabilities of the ALQ-240(V)1 will allow P-8A aircrews to detect and identify radar and other electronic threats to the aircraft and Navy vessels.”

I posted this on the main forum in a thread about the geolocation capabilities of modern ESM systems, but I thought I would post it here too and request a db update. Based on the below links, would it be possible to modify or create these ESM systems to include range information: ALQ-218, ALR-94, ALQ-240(V)1, and "Rivet Joint ESM." The Rivet Joint would probably also require a new a/c version, as the only one currently in the db is good from the 1970s on - when single-aircraft geolocation would have been considered a total pipe dream!
