今日空军猛图:首见空3S之10746#。。。长兴的J10达到26架
考古
Claims a new J-10 is received for the 3rd Division, making it the 26th. I am wondering what the total overall number will be.
The modes include ERS - enhanced range search - supposedly better than previous modes like Range while search, up-look search and velocity search range. Haven't heard of this before, it would be interesting looking this up.
TWS - track while search, says it is capable of tracking 10 aerial targets, and also scanning other aerial targets
MTS - multiple target search, can performa high level tracking against 4 targets, I guess, this is needed to concurrently engage multiple targets?
STT - Single target tracking, perform high level tracking vs one target.
Advanced datalink with MRAAM - in TWS, MTS and STT mode, can provide targetting information for 6 medium ranged AAMs
ACM - aerial combat mode - not too sure about this.
Different manufacturers have different names for modes that seem functionally similar. Sometimes you have to match one jargon vs. another. For example, NIIP doesn't call their TWS as TWS but they certainly has some form of 10 target tracking mode.
I have not heard of Extended Range Search before. Velocity Search is something seen in more recent radars, and its basically a "cheat" TWS. I call it a cheat because some are quoting tracking numbers and tracking ranges based on this mode rather than true TWS. In VS, the number of targets tracked is double of that of TWS, and the range is longer. But VS only gives less information per target, mainly velocity.
MTS sounds like the F-16's Situational Awareness mode? Or TWS "bugged" mode? There is a mode where out of the targets tracked, the most threatening ones are priortized and bracketed, so you are tracking the ones most threatening to you.
ACM must be your standard dogfighting modes that are lumped into a single jargon. They usually include Boresight, where the radar just lights up everything ahead of it, and Vertical Scan, where the radar scans in a large vertical band from top to bottom. Finally there is gunsight mode.
The way it sounds here, the plane can engage 6 targets simultaneously on TWS using six missiles with one missile per target, 4 on MTS but at least two of the targets can be engaged with two missiles each, and with STT, perhaps a many as six missiles against a single target.
