For Denel, too much water has flown under bridges. SD-10 is here to stay.Period.
Now when we are talking about BVR alternatives in general, first question is why?
This "why" might be either seeker or superior kinematics. When it comes to seeker, do monopulse seekers have an alternative? can anyone please mention that alternative effective at the same ranges at which mono-pulse can.
Once kinematics go beyond 100-150 km, how and who will provide a FCS for a 5m2 RCS, do we have any such platform?
For a bit shorter ranges, because of increasing DRFM, french have worked on Mica, US is still working on 9X-3 and Chinese on PL-10. the best we can hope for is expected node from up north.
