Dassault Rafale - Updates and Discussion

Compared to original RBE-2 PESA. The source that I read a while ago, it says 50% increase. Could you provide any source for the claim of 100% increase in range?
Both can be exact since both don't say how this range is counted (distance, surface, volume, number of plot you can deal with ?) and on what object the mesure is done.

Elaborate.

French radar is govern by the same radar equation that govern American or Chinese radars.
By the same physics perhaps ou perhaps not. For example the RBE2 cooling system is known to be very effective. By the same equation ... well. Depends of the knowledge they have of their own device.

Bruh, standard radar equation is same everywhere. Unless french radar is in a alternate universe where radio wave behave differently, it is govern by the same formula.

Uhm ... the formulas were the same at the time of dinos but they had no clue of them.
More seriously, have you heared of simulations ? Do you understand why we need simulations if standard radar equation were sufficient to have a good radar ?
 
Sticking an AESA antenna on it is one thing, the backend modes and intelligence where it matters, is still 80's tech
It won't get GaN radar and a capable backend till the new Radar, next decade

I never said, standard radar equation is sufficient to have a good radar.

It is a response to your comment.
Physics and radar equation is indifferent to the origins of the device. That's all I said.
