Your problem, not mine. When you debate on a subject that you have no experience in, not even at an academic level, you runs a high risk of not understanding what others -- who do have relevant experience -- wrote and said, even when they tries their best to tone down their language.How am I supposed to know what context you're talking about?
Further proof that you do not read or have a reading comprehension problem.I was saying that speed is a compromising factor, and it is (my source agreed). You brought up the rather irrelevant MTI radars yourself.
When you used the 'Pulse-Doppler' phrase, I bet you were full of yourself that you have something over me.
When you mentioned 'Pulse-Doppler', it was YOU who brought up the MTI radar. It was relevant, but you just did not know it.
A pulsed-Doppler radar does not have to be a physically distinct radar. Doppler processing is a MODE OF OPERATION. Whether the radar transmission is pulsed or continuous-wave (CW) is not the point. If a body travels, there is a Doppler component in its radar return. So when you mentioned 'Pulsed-Doppler', you unwittingly brought in the MTI radar because the MTI radar is a dedicated radar designed to maximize the Doppler processing part of the overall radar operation.
Here is the proof that pulsed-Doppler processing is a component of a radar system...

The -66's system does everything listed. It is the radar computer that switches between modes. And that means the PD processing is a component of the -66's many operations. Do you see where you are short in understanding now?The AN/APG-66 is a digital, multimode, fire control radar that is the primary sensor for the F-16 air combat fighter. The detection and false alarm performance of this radar are described when it operates in its medium PRF pulse Doppler downlook mode. Descriptions are included of medium PRF clutter, the AN/APG-66 signal processing, the flight tests used to obtain performance data, a computer simulation of the radar, and the calibration of the simulation. The detection performance presented is based on both flight tests and the output of the flight test calibrated simulation. The false alarm performance is based on flight tests and is accompanied by a discussion of the sources of false alarms.
You are too late in this game of trying to defeat the F-22. The PD argument have been tried yrs ago and so far, nothing in the real world gained any effort at making the Doppler component as a viable defense against 'stealth'.
And your opinion is wrong. Not because I have to refute it, but because it is inapplicable as an argument.Moore's Law is based on observed trend of all electronics and it's widely accepted as the prevailing principle in the electronics industry. To base military advancement on this law is my opinion, and it's an opinion that no one has yet to able to refute with substance and say why would military electronics won't follow it.
Buddy, I am currently in the semiconductor industry, Probe and Functionality testing, and with direct engineering participation in Intel's new 3DXP phase change memory product. I know Moore's Law before you have heard of it.Here I'll give you an article from phys.org to further clarify what Moore's Law really entails
The problem with debating people like you -- who not only do not have relevant experience but is filled with a particular agenda -- is that you people tends to make sweeping claims that takes no considerations into nuances or conditions that are often inside the subjects under discussion.The point is military and civilian market constantly exchanges technologies and they are not far from each other. In some areas, military might have more advanced technologies, but for some areas the civilian markets also have more advanced (more mature) technologies. Good point?
It is extremely rare that the military will come up with a new technology. We are talking about DARPANET kind of rarity. DARPANET became the Internet as we know it today. DARPANET was a true military originated idea and transfer of technology.
What the military does -- most of the time -- is adapting current civilian technologies to suit military needs and in doing so, it creates the illusion that there is a 'military technology' side of technology in general. Military needs are often non-usable for civilians. Not non-applicable, but simply non-usable. Take the afterburner part of the jet engine, for example. No civilian airliner have afterburning engines, and please do not bring up the Concorde.
When I worked for Micron, we have a DRAM line specifically for military applications. There was nothing special about manufacturing from wafer start to functionality testing. The only thing that made the line, to use the cliche 'military grade', is that the client was willing to pay top money for the highest yielding wafers, as in double-digits percentage over what any civilian company would bid in order to secure the supply, the extracted dies would have extra thick encapsulation at Assembly, and extended testing under increased temperature and data injection cycles at Burn-In. We would make the same accommodations to any civilian client willing to pay the same high prices for the same product lines. There were no technological advances in this DRAM line.
So you are wrong in using the word 'constantly'. There is no two-way street here. Just another thing you are wrong about simply because you have no relevant experience but is filled with a particular agenda.
