And that the 'heads-in' mindset along with the likelihood they didn't even realise there was a lighthouse there meant they weren't looking for it.
And if they weren't looking for it, it is possible they weren't monitoring the other sources of information to look for it either. I didn't see if the report has details on the radar range settings. Can the radar range be set separately from the display range?
Does anyone know what sensor configuration the EO/IR turret has? Is the aircraft capable of displaying two video outputs at once?
