SAR og AESA radar

Sjekk dette vedr. omtalen av den kansellerte sense-and-avoid radaren i Triton:

Hoke noted that the Triton will enter service with the “most capable airborne radar in naval aviation” as its main sensor. This is a reference to Northrop Grumman’s multi-function active sensor (MFAS), a 360-degree AESA radar that will be the UAV’s main sensor. It has completed 25 surrogate flights on a Gulfstream II focused on “mode maturation and radar stability.” The MFAS will be integrated on a second flight-testMQ-4C aircraft due to fly next spring at Patuxent River.

Jeg har skrevet før om Triton som er en Global Hawk i US Navy farger. Når denne kan fly med en 360 graders AESA radar så burde amerikanerne kunne selge den til våre redningshelikoptre.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration expects to formulate a standard by 2016 that will permit unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to interoperate with manned aircraft using an “electronic means” to see and avoid potential collisions, according to the executive leading the FAA’s effort to introduce UAS into the airspace system.
