Will be interesting to see what eventually shows up.
Thank you for the explanation. That is one example of the problems caused by the continuous building of the old 1980s design. It cannot longer be adapted.
Do you read anything what the new X-band radar could be?
Some navies use smaller antenna for the short-wave length radars, others have similar-sized antenna. But few use such small antenna as the SPQ-9B. I wonder if its performance is impaired by its position in front of the mast.
