When I checked out the shipboard version of EO-DAS it was remarkably good at detecting seagulls and the sun reflecting off clouds, and studiously ignored civvy jets a kilometer or so away. Supposedly the JSF version has better software.

And as we all know, the JSF's wideangle IIR system is unique on any fighter aircraft. Wait, what?



Granted, it can't look through the floor, but it also has two sensors (in one location) instead of six. And it is in service.

The Elbit PAWS-2 is also IIR, with full-spherical coverage, and will be on the JAS 39E/F.
