You might want to switch to the newer Harriers.

My idea is to use a single system to do both.

If it's close enough to cast a shadow, I think the flying house wins initiative.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

hmm you will need large phased arrays then..... and may I refer to the US members now? my knowledge to this kind of stuff is limited, if you used thales I could help a bit.....

Where are they? I'm using the ones from page 3 of the Planebucket thread, which were the most recent I could locate in there.

I only meant the landed ones:

Voilà

Page 6 of said thread.

I really need to make an index.

Edit: This is of course if you are using Harrier 2s, and not Harriers or Sea Harriers.

Thales has Herakles which is designed to guide Aster. I'm getting ready to switch over to SM-6 ERAM which doesn't need directors, so newer radar is desirable to go along with it. I chose the present drawing, because it looks something like APAR, in general outline, and will give my vessels a somewhat uniform appearance. Being able to guide ESSM is also of great importance.

Now, the new system doesn't have to be as capable as the APAR/S1850M combo. I'm mainly needing it for General Purpose Frigates, and to hopefully squeeze some version of it onto my corvettes, not to mention an as-of-yet-undesigned patrol frigate.

if you use guided weapons only (so no semi-active) you could use an search radar without directors, if I'm not wrong.

ESSM is the big question, there.

Strictly speaking this is true; however typical search sets (L-band, say) have far too wide a beam for this to be a reasonable practice. One would need to revert to WW2-ish Royal Navy practice in having both a search radar and a so-called "target indicator" (really a short-range tight-beam search set).

Well, that's what the APAR/S1850M combo basically is. I just need to find one radar that can do both.
