The AN/APQ-120 is a late-60s radar system developed to satisfy the requirements of the F-4E Phantom II. Due to technological and practical limitations, it cannot provide the same wide variety of azimuth and elevation options as modern devices.
And so it begins! With less than a week left before the launch of the Early Access, we start the long journey into a new module: Heatblur’s F-4E Phantom II.
As the release of the F-4E gets closer and closer (still about 330 days ‘till the end of 2024!), I started to put together the first kneeboard pack for the Phantom II.
After the recap of basic notions of intercepts and geometry of Part VI, we now see how things are put into practice.
As the F-4E draws closer, a quick review of the Air-to-Air intercepts with a B-Scope and Pulse mode is in order.
The F-4E radar and avionics have a few incredibly cool features, and this is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting parts of the Phantom Phamiliarisation discussion so far.
