KARAT IRST!

 

[Profchaos]

Or is it the thing in our dreams?

What is that?

 

[Agha Sher]

Could the May 1st surprise be the announcement of a partner country?

 

[Sanders]

It could be about the name of the TF-X.

 

[Sanchez]

These two would be the most likely reasons. My bet is on the name. Still think it will be Anatolian Eagle.

 

[buraktunahan]

For it to be a surprise, it has to be something unexpected. I think it wouldn't be a surprise since the name will already be given.

So you can call me "nonsense" but I think the "surprise" MMU will fly on May 1st.

 

[Zafer]

Hürjet didn't take long from roll out to first flight, neither did KFX, TFX is expected to fly by the end of this year but it is not far from being able to fly. The time that will be spent until the first flight will only be fore sake of being prudent.

A very valuable interview. Rather than the May 1 surprise, what pleases me the most is that one of the most authoritative people in the project emphasised that Super Lightning(yeni Şimşek), MMU and ANKA-3 are parts of the same programme with a holistic approach.

The other issue is that probably thousand of engineers between the ages of 25-30 are directly and indirectly involved in the project. When the first block mass production of the MMU starts, a huge team from many disciplines that have experience in this 5th generation fighter jet will still be in their 30s.

edit: By the way, I think the surprise on 1 May is the Naval MMU concept

I hope we have now moved from 640x480 pixels to 1024x768 pixel HD LWIR sensors with together KARAT.

KARAT and EOTS will have 1280x1024. This is i think 100th time it is mentioned in this forum.

Ok dude calm down, I know about EOTS, but when I saw that it was based on KARAT LWIR, my mind went to 1024x768. The 1280x1024 LWIR based sensor is not very common.

Can someone with knowledge compare the specs of turkish EOTS and IRST to western equivalents. Like the ones in f35 or f22?

 

[Boz]

Some fantastic shots that are not being shared.​

 

[Zafer]

FYI

If you have a full frame photo camera you need to be shooting with at least a 50mm lens to get rid of camera distortion, anything lower and you get camera distortion and unreal proportions. 50mm is equal to what the human eye sees. If you have a smaller sensor camera you need to know what your equivalent value to a 50mm full frame lens is and shoot with a higher focal distance lens than that or setting of if you have zoom.

I was just going to ask this exact question, thank you.

A beautiful killer...

This is below TOYGUN specs.

For now KARAT IRST specs is not revealed yet.

F-22 doesn't have any EOTS or IRST.

Only F-35 does.

F-35's old EOTS is 640x512 MWIR.

Can identify and track targets from 90km.

However, F-35 block 4 is supposed to get a new EOTS. (Which should exceed previous capabilities in terms of range and resolution.)

About DAS, watch this video.

The F-35's DAS was flown in military operational exercises in 2011,[4] has demonstrated the ability to detect and track ballistic missiles to ranges exceeding 800 miles (1,300 km),[5] and has also demonstrated the ability to detect and track multiple small suborbital rockets simultaneously in flight.

A DAS test system has also been used to track tank gun firing, but this is "not an F-35 requirement".
