i do have a question rn, this T/R module which you have linked seems to have similar performance to ASELSAN one but like 50 times heavier and lot bigger, maybe the one I have sent is not the whole module?
well it depends, on the stand there was also a cooling system (possibly for MURAD)
Also MURAD uses 30 watt modules, 50 watt for BÜRFİS main radar could be possible.
5-10W these days are too low
Probably, but it is not like TAI doesn't learn anything from the parts which got Akaer presence.
Also a bit safer i would say, as Akaer is a really experienced company with lots of experience in these kinds of projects
I don't think that it will be Dual-Band QWIP-640, TF-X sensors (IR) were developed in scope of NAR project, which would mean a 1280x1024p MCT MWIR sensor.
What kind of advantages would LWIR bring in missile/threat detection? TF-X already has IRST so i guess we don't need it for enemy aircraft detection at frontal sector.
Yes, but IRST's (as in A-A) need to detect and track objects which are a lot cooler compared to something being fired, explosions (and solid fuel propulsion are much much hotter than an aircraft going supersonic) are easier to detect and track because of that.
There is a reason why it is not...
