It would be nice to see some more information regarding the contract for the required specification for radar performance. Otherwise, the MoD will likely be lumbered with aircraft fitted with radars that have such small detection and tracking ranges it makes it pointless.
A range in nautical miles against a “fighter-sized” forward aspect target using RWS (or equivalent), in a clutter-free (look up or look down), no electronic attack (EA) environment and achieving a 50% probability of detection. But that means they'd have to define "fighter sized" and actually state a range...........Two bag fit Typhoon = ???
