Täytyy muistaa että sähköteknisissä laitteissa on yleensä ns nimellisteho sekä erikseen maksimiteho. Jälkimmäinen yleensä hetkellinen ja käytössä vai erityisisaä tapauksissa. Lisäksi veikkaan että tuossa 600kw tehossa on aika paljon kalajuttua. Jos tutka on tasasähkövehje, niin vastaavasti 600V tasajännitteellä Helsingin uusimman ratikkamallin kokonaisteho on 12 kol *45 kW moottoreita...

e. Extremely high powered magnetrons. Some components (such as the isolator) consist of two identical devices in parallel for additional power handling capability. A rough estimate of power is 600 to 800 kW for I-Band and 300 to 400 kW for J-Band.

Tuossa ei kyllä puhuta nyt laitteen ottotehosta sähköjärjestelmästä. Missään tuon kokoisessa koneessa ei ole 600 kW generaattoria. Kyse on tutkan pulssitehosta, joka synnytetään hetkellisesti, mikrosekuntien ajaksi esim magnetronilla tai jollakin lähetinputkella esim kulkuaaltoputki tai klystron (tuohon aikaan ei tainnut olla vielä puolijohdelähettimiä?). Tämä on ihan eri asia kuin sähkölaitteen ottoteho. Tutkan, jonka pulssiteho on esim 6 kW, laitteiston sähkön ottoteho voi olla 1,0 - 1,5 kW sisältäen antennikoneiston.

Siinä komeessa on ollu yhtä paljon rautaa keulassa kun perässäkin. On meinaan aika hulppeat virrat kyseessä, oli sitten hetkellinenkään teho.

Hulppeammalla mielikuvituksella vois luulla että kun tutkan jättää kotiin niin tuolla koneella pääsis poimuajoon =D

Täällä on joku alustavasti lupaavan näköinen Quora-vastaus, jossa on ainakin googlattavaksi komponenttien nimiä.

Radars do not normally emit energy continuously; instead they emit pulses and then go silent so that they can better hear the return signal (and so that there’s a distinct rise & fall that can be used to measure things like the closing velocity of a target, as well as its range).
The ratio between the amount of time that a radar is transmitting, versus being silent, is known as the radar’s duty cycle. This number can change depending on operating modes, what band the radar is operating in, etc, but duty cycles can be as high as around 50% or as low as around 0.01% (emitting only for 1/1000th of the time).
main-qimg-1b8265f2f870438ab4be48772b18116f

By using capacitors, a radar with (eg) 6kW of power being supplied to it can store energy and, at a duty cycle of (eg) 1%, emit 600kW pulses, provided that the circuitry in the radar can handle the instantaneous power. If this is the maximum amount of power that a radar can handle, then it is known as the radar’s peak power. A radar also has an average power, which may represent something like a typical duty cycle of 10% but a much lower pulse power of something like 1kW.
Now, as for the MiG-25; page 72 of “Soviet Spyplanes of the Cold War” by Yefim Gordon states that the MiG-25 had:
  • 2x GSR-12KIS generators which produced 28V DC power
  • 2x SGK-11/1.5KIS or SGK-11/1.5KIS-M generators which produced 200/215V, 400Hz 3-phase AC power
I couldn’t find any data on the GSR-12KIS 28V DC generators, but it’s important to understand that for transmitting large amounts of power, you want / need to use higher voltages. Electrical power = voltage * current. A high voltage and low current will minimise losses to heat, but it can result in electricity jumping across wires and short-circuiting; a low voltage and high enough current meanwhile will result in wires turning red hot and melting. The F-35 for example has 28V DC power supplies for things like its fly-by-wire computers, but for its radar and other high-power systems it uses a 270V DC power system.
As such, it’s very likely that the MiG-25’s radar was powered via its 200/215V AC power network, and fortunately we do have data on these SGK-11/1.5KIS generators. According to this German .pdf document:
  • The SGK-11/1.5KIS weighs 36kg and produces 9.35kW.
  • The SGK-11/1.5KIS-M weighs 36kg and produces 13.6kW.
So it’s likely that the MiG-25’s radar only had a maximum of around 18kW or 27kW to draw upon for its radar. That might sound low compared to the F-35’s 3x 80kW generators, but you have to remember that the F-35 has many more electrically-powered systems than the MiG-25; the F-35 is the only fighter to transmit power to its control surface actuators via electricity (where self-contained pumps control hydraulic actuators) rather than hydraulic pressure. Even the F-22 has less powerful generators than the F-35.
Eli lyhyesti arvio: "So it’s likely that the MiG-25’s radar only had a maximum of around 18kW or 27kW to draw upon for its radar."

Tämä varmaan selventää asiaa. Onko tietoa, käytetäänkö tutkajärjestelmien lähetyapään yhteydessä konkkia? Niiatähän irtoais hetkelliaeati virtaa. Mutta lataus sitte kestää...

Tavallaan se muistuttaa kondensaattorin toimintaa... En taida ehtiä nyt kaivaa tarkkaa kuvausta (käytetään esimerkkinä sitä magnetronilähetintä) tarkkaa toimintaperiaatetta. Pitää kaivella vähän ja koittaa vastata jossain vaiheessa. Onkohan se magnetronin ohjauspiiri RC-piiri, joka värähtelee PRF:n tahdissa ja luovuttaa lähetyshetkellä energiansa pulssin muodostamiseen. Meniköhän se näin.
 
Ja nyt vielä kun takapenkkiläiset putosivat kyydistä kirjaimellisesti, niin viimeisetkin uskottavuudet menivät ''Gropenilta''.

Ja kun Growler pystyy kaikkeen mihinkä Super Hornet pystyy (paitsi laukaisemaan Sidewinderin ja ampumaan tykillä, mikä on pieni ero), niin Boeingin 50 SH + 14 Growler on kyllä vakuuttava tarjous. Saabilla ei ole jakoa Boeingia vastaan tässä sitten millään.
Raaf Growlerit on integroitu myös Aim-9x ohjuksen käyttöön. Pommeja se ei kanna, vaikka aikaisemmin niin sanoin.
Tieto löytyy Australian kuninkaallisten ilmavoimien sivulta: https://www.airforce.gov.au/technology/aircraft/strike/ea-18g-growler

Growleriin voi integroida varmasti samat aseet kuin Superiinkin, ei siinä ole mitään esteitä teknisesti.
 
Onko Growlerin NGJ:n toimivuus päästy toteamaan? Jos ei ole päästy, niin se tarkoittaa 50% suorituskykysakkoa sotapelissä.
Hx:n jälkeen ilmeisesti puuttuvat suorituskyvyt todennetaan lähtömaissa sensitiivisten ominaisuuksien osalta. Ilmeisesti Ilmavoimilta ym.kävi delegaatio USAssa viime syksynä tutkimassa Growleria ja ehkä myös F-35:ä.

Boeing wants to promote the Swiss unmanned aviation industry
Boeing is planning eleven new research projects for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) with partners from Switzerland. Boeing intends to expand the existing UAS ecosystem in Switzerland and develop key technologies for the future of the commercial and military aerospace industry. The engagement is related to the procurement of new fighter jets for the Swiss Army.
Research projects with different topics
As announced by the American aerospace company, Boeing and the Swiss partners will work together on various UAS topics as part of the planned research projects. These include research and technology development, rapid prototyping, flight tests, and regulatory and certification processes. Projects under consideration include the development of detection and avoidance technologies and next-generation air traffic management systems that enable future autonomous aircraft to be safely integrated into the airspace. Boeing is also considering setting up an electric drive test facility, an additive manufacturing (eli 3d-tulostus) excellence center and a UAS testing center, as well as establishing an Aerial Joint Mobility Council to bring research consortia together and share industry knowledge.
Boeing is currently in talks with 10 potential Swiss partners to support the research. Companies that have already signed a letter of intent to collaborate include:

Swiss Aeropole and WindShape: Development of a test facility for environmental tests and certification of UAS flight systems in Payerne, Switzerland.
Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM): Cooperation in the field of microelectronic research and development for universities of applied sciences in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
Swiss Drone Base Camp (SDBC): Cooperation at the UAS Center of Excellence with the Swiss Drone Base Camp at Riviera Airport in Ticino, Switzerland.
University of Applied Sciences for Technology and Architecture in Southern Switzerland (SUPSI): Establishment of a center of excellence for additive manufacturing for manned and unmanned aircraft in Lugano, Switzerland.
 
2016 juttua Naton Euroopan SEADista on kiintoisaa katsella Growler Suomessa -valossa.
"in 2015, the US stated it wanted Europe and Canada to provide 50% of NATO’s SEAD capability and reduce reliance on Washington."
"In 2023 they need to show a viable European SEAD capability with the full 50% force mix ready by 2030." (miten mahtuvat nykymenolla euro-Natomaat tähän aikatauluun?)

EW Europe: NATO to tackle SEAD gap
13th May 2016 - 13:04 by Tim Fish in Rotterdam

NATO is pushing ahead with a programme to fill its capability gap in the suppression of enemy air defence (SEAD).

The programme intends to develop a next generation system that can meet the challenges of combating enemy air defences, such as Russia’s new S-400 system (SA-21) and anti-access area denial (A2AD) systems.

Speaking at EW Europe in Rotterdam, NATO officials said that following the alliance's summit in Wales in 2015, the US stated it wanted Europe and Canada to provide 50% of NATO’s SEAD capability and reduce reliance on Washington.
An initial operating capability is slated for December 2023, just seven years away with a full operational capability in 2030. In 2023 they need to show a viable European SEAD capability with the full 50% force mix ready by 2030.

To do this in just seven years is a challenging timetable. Five European NATO nations are close to signing a letter of intent to establish a SEAD capability and NATO officials investigating this completed a workshop on developing a timetable in early May 2016.
A ‘vision paper’ is being produced in next few weeks that will start the steps moving towards procuring a SEAD capability. Roadmaps also being produced for SEAD and electronic attack that to get deliverables from now to 2023 and 2030.

However, a SEAD capability is not just the aircraft and bombs - it is the entire intelligence gathering, surveillance and targeting network that can enable a more efficient and smarter strike capability.
The plan is to ‘peel back the onion’ of air defence layers to allow aircraft to enter these ever-increasing engagement zones to allow missions to be carried out against a target or to destroy the radar themselves.
Launching a weapon may not destroy a radar but could force it to switch off. There are also jamming activities that can help but high power jamming to defeat a low frequency radar standing off with a Joint Strike Fighter at 1,000km is a challenge.

NATO officials said they want to make sure that existing national SEAD programmes are in-line with what NATO is doing and they want industry to help look at the kind of capabilities they will need in 30 years’ time that can be achieved if work began now.

To get a SEAD capability the NATO officials said they need the right EW database that is shared across the alliance, alongside ‘the whole mission set, tools for planning and activity and information to enable it’.
This includes intelligence, joint precision strike, ISR as well as cyber, which is part of the solution. The threats have to be detected and located - without this there is no mission.

Coordination was highlighted as an issue as future SEAD missions could involve ten nations or more, so this needs to be put together and validated before going to theatre. This includes test, training and synthetic environments to make sure that the SEAD mission works across 20 aircraft types and the mission planning is viable. Information sharing is vital.
According to a timeline shown at EW Europe, following a NATO summit in July 2016, the following April NATO plans to start initial three-year R&D phase. The NATO Industrial Advisory Group will report in December that year followed by another NATO summit in June 2018.
In December 2021, NATO’s SEAD policy will be revised and NIAG will report again before IOC is expected in 2023.

Ilmeisesti tänä vuonna Sigonellaan tulleet 5 kpl NATOn Boeing Phoenix (Global Hawk) koneita, ovat osa tätä luuppia.
 
Boeing Phoenix
"Coming in at over 7 tons and with a longer wingspan than a Boeing 737"
Ei taida jameja tai aargmia tuo tehdä vaan on edelleen pitkäkestoista ISRää. Mutta osa jaettua NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance -luuppia.
"the Phoenix’s sensors collected Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery and Moving Target Information (MTI) data"

Navy Budgets for 8 Ships, 107 Aircraft for Fiscal 2022 Procurement
28 May 2021 Richard R. Burgess

"ARLINGTON, Va. — The Navy Department’s fiscal 2022 budget requests totals $211.7 billion, a $3.8 billion increase over the enacted 2021 budget. The request includes funds for eight battle force ships and 107 aircraft. The Navy Department’s $211.7 billion request is part of the Defense Department’s $715 billion request....

...AIRCRAFT
Funding of aircraft procurement for 2022 totals $16.5 billion, a 15.6% decrease from 2021’s $19.5 billion. Navy aircraft requested for 2022 include 20 F-35C Lightning II strike fighters, five E-2D Advanced Hawkeye battle management aircraft, three CMV-22B Osprey carrier-onboard-delivery aircraft and 36 TH-73A training helicopters. For the Marine Corps, the request includes funds for 17 F-35Bs, six KC-130J Super Hercules tanker/transport aircraft, nine CH-53K King Stallion heavy-lift helicopters, five MV-22B Osprey assault transport tiltrotor aircraft and six MQ-9 extended-range Reaper medium-altitude surveillance unmanned aerial vehicles.

Notably, the budget contains no further funding for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet strike fighter, P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol reconnaissance aircraft, the VH-92A presidential transport helicopter or the training version of the E-6B Mercury strategic communications aircraft. Procurement of these types has been completed, assuming no additions by the Congress. There is no 2022 request for funding for the MQ-4C Triton high-altitude, long-endurance UAV in that there is a pause in procurement while the UAV’s Integrated Functional Capability 4 is matured.

RDT&E funds are programed for the F-35, CH-53E, VH-92A, Next-Generation Jammer, F/A-18E/F Advanced Infrared Search and Track (IRST), and MQ-25 Stingray UAV.

The 2022 budget plan calls for accelerated divestment of legacy F/A-18A-D Hornet strike fighters, moving up the divestment of the 55 on strength from 2024 to 2022 and replacing them in the adversary role with F-16s transferred from the Air Force. Divestment of the RQ-4A Global Hawk Broad-Area Maritime Surveillance-Demonstrator UAV is planned for acceleration from 2023 to 2022, with the savings invested in higher priorities...."

Eli mikäli tehdään MLU2:n aikaistus kuten Hornetin kanssa tehtiin, niin elinkaari riittää meille.
No, ei tuo kyllä oikein tämän kanssa natsaa:


Elinkaarikustannusten näkökulmasta pahin tilanne olisi se, jos pääkäyttäjät luopuisivat hävittäjätyypistä ja Suomi jäisi ainoana maana käyttämään konetta ja maksamaan loppuajan ylläpidosta, mahdollisesti aina 2060-luvulle saakka.

”Ylivoimaisesti kriittisin asia on se, ettemme jää yksin koneen kehittämisen kanssa. Siihen meillä ei ole varaa”, Puranen sanoo."
 
Niin se vain taitaa olla, että nämä 60% entisestä huoltoinfrasta kelpaa ja helppo hyppy taitaa olla paperia ja F-35 on sittenkin se riskittömämpi 2060 kiikaroidessa.
Superin osalta USN on koko show ja se ei näytä jo hyvältä rahan liikkeitä seuraamalla.

As always, it is important to note that this is just a budget proposal and that Congress will have the final say in which of these provisions, if any, get approved in the end. Lawmakers routinely block requests and even insert additional funding for certain aircraft the Pentagon and the various service branches have not asked for.
