<type>UPDATE</type>
<summary>Update F-22 Electronic Attack APG-77 from Increment 3.2 </summary>
<detail>

Latest F-22 upgrade brings ability to jam enemy radars

The USA is moving to exploit its lead in AESA technology, and the F-22's Northrop Grumman APG-77(V)1 radar is scheduled to get an electronic attack capability as part of the Increment 3.2 upgrade to be funded from fiscal year 2012.



Or maybe from Increment 3.1 (DOTE 2020):


The F-22A program delivers capability in increments.
Incremental Enhanced Global Strike modernization efforts
include the following current and near-term modernization
efforts:
- Increment 3.1 provided enhanced air-to-ground mission
capability, to include geolocation of selected emitters,
electronic attack, air-to-ground synthetic aperture
radar mapping and designation of surface targets, and
Small Diameter Bomb integration

Increment 3.1 for Block 30 aircraft onward provided improved ground-attack capability through synthetic aperture radar mapping and radio emitter direction finding, electronic attack and Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) integration; testing began in 2009 and the first upgraded aircraft was delivered in 2011.

I would like to ammend my previous post regarding the Brazilian S-70B/SH-16 Seahawk. After failing to find reports on the use of sonobuoys by Brazilian Navy aircraft I submitted a request for information on the topic. I just got the response and it turns out the Brazilian Navy DOES NOT make use of sonobuoys in any of its current aircraft (just helicopters, as its only fixed-wing aircraft is the A-4).

<summary>RN Type 45 Destroyer to have 24 x Sea Ceptor and solely 48 x Aster-30</summary>
<detail>

Could update this unit #3200 - D 35 Dragon [Type 45 Batch 2] (United Kingdom - 2023) -- HYPOTHETICAL UNIT

Type 45 is going to have 24 x Sea Ceptor and 48 xAster-30 (no Aster-15).

"Fitting CAMM onto the Type 45s will give the destroyers a 50% increase in the number of its air defence missiles. Installation will be via 24 additional launcher cells, and the Sea Viper C2 will get a technology upgrade, giving it a major increase in processing power.

The existing 48 Sylver cells on Type 45 will now be solely for the longer-range Aster 30 missile, which is also subject to a recently announced mid-life refresh. This will see the missile remain in service throughout the life of the Type 45s."


Sea Ceptor is also faster than the DB3K version with most accounts crediting it with at least Mach 3 and the Jane's article reiterates that it has significant anti surface capability. (prior request made)

Also in use by Ivory Coast (3x). And Togo the steel-hull variant PHM 33
Second unit (Taouay) delivered. Prob of 3 units. First unit entered service in 2013 (Ferlo)
Sold by Raidco Marine in France
Raidco Marine also exhibits two types of quite similar ships. PHM 33 and RPB 33 are patrol boats with deep-sea surveillance capability. The two ships have the same dimensions. The main difference between the ships resides in the hull material. The PHM 33's hull is made of steel while that of RPB 33 is GRP (Glass-reinforced plastic), a composite material, made. This composite hull enables the RPB 33 to reach the speed of 30 knt, when the PHM 33 can only reach 22 knt. Both of them can be armed up to a 30 mm gun and some 12.7 mm machine gun. One 6.2 m RHIB is also on board.

Hi
Is this correct that the MQ-25A (#4917) has only the Wing Droque Refueling? It seems most AC are using boom, so i'm unable to refuel any AC (F-A-18E, EA_18G, F-35C....)

It seems that it should also refuel F/A-18 with Probe Refueling, see

https://www.aviationtoday.com/2021/06/0 ... refueling/

So it is possible to add probe refueling to the MQ-25A (#4917)
Thank's
Andy

The drogue is the refueling basket the probe is inserted into, hence the term probe and drogue refueling. The receiving aircraft will show probe refueling and the tanker will show has having a drogue. Boom refueling is a separate system and not compatible with probes without modification. If the F/A-18 is not refueling from the MQ-25 (which it should) you may need to post a save in the tech support section.

[morphin]

Thank's for the explanation. The only difference i see is that the MQ-25A has [Wing Droque (Bird Cage)] Refueling indicated, while the other with the same "Generic Buddy Store" (#1891), for example the MV-22B Osprey (#4037) has something different ([Roll-ON/Roll-Off Aerial Refueling Drogue]). I will post a save in the tech support

<summary>Dokdo-Class Amphibious Ship ROKS Marado (LPH-6112) 2021</summary>


<detail>

ROKS Marado has a light displacement of 14,800 tons (19,000 tons full load displacement). It has a length of 200 meters, a beam of 31 meters and a draft of 6.6 meters. The ship has a crew complement of 330 sailors and is capable of carrying 720 marines, 6 MBTs, 7 KAAVs, 2 LCACs, and 7 to 12 helicopters such as the MUH-1s and recently selected MAH helicopters.

It is armed with 4 KVLS cells that launch a total of 16 K-SAAM (surface-to-air missiles) Sea Bow, and 2 Phalanx Block 1Bs close-in weapon systems (CIWS). It also features K-Dagaie NG decoy launching systems with new generation decoys (SEALEM and SEALIR)

Marado features an improved anti-air radar too: It is the fixed EL/M-2248 MF-STAR AESA multifunction surveillance radar produced by Israeli company Elta Systems, which substituted the previous SMART-L multibeam radar by Thales.
In terms of weapon systems, Marado adopted Raytheon’s Phalanx instead of 30mm Goalkeeper fitted aboard Dokdo

In terms of weapon systems, Marado adopted Raytheon’s Phalanx instead of 30mm Goalkeeper fitted aboard Dokdo. It changed the location of the CIWS in the stern, placing it on the upper side. Stark differences come from its localized combat system, such as the LIG Nex1’s SPS-550K 3D air and surface surveillance radar which is also used by Incheon and Daegu-class frigates, not the previous MW-08. Also, Infrared Ray Search and Target (IRST) equipment, SAQ-600K, has been placed to alternate Vampir-MB optronic sight. Defensive guided missiles to intercept anti-ship missiles, Sea Bow (K-SAAM), can be launched from the Korean Vertical Launching System (KVLS) instead of the Rolling Airframe Missiles (RAM).

This is not the thread for this, but you maybe you are doing something wrong, all 4 links work (ie popup a save file dialog for the download for me), try right clicking and your browser should have an option for 'save link as'. Maybe your browser or something else is blocking the underlying http://warfaresims.slitherine.com content for some reason, as the community pack comes from drive.google.com? Only thing I noticed as different.

<type>UPDATE</type>
<summary>DELETE ACTIVE radar seeker of AGM-158C LRASM</summary>
<detail>

An anti-jam GPS guidance system, radio frequency sensor (RFS), and an infrared sensor support guidance and targeting.

Currently in C:MO the missile has an active radar and is easily detected by ESM sensors. The LRASM is a primarily passive missile and that is where its effectiveness lies, so it does not currently perform as expected.

Instead of using an active radar system to locate its targets, LRASM uses a passive sensor to sniff out and home in. LRASM doesn’t emit any electromagnetic signals that would allow the enemy to detect it ahead of time. Instead, the missile turns the tables by homing in on enemy shipboard radars.
