Secret Documents #110: Mirage 2000C Guide Update - Radar Part 2
Added 2021-12-13 12:01:02 +0000 UTCHi folks!
Now comes the interesting part of the radar re-work. As you can see, some of the terminology has changed and there are some new radar modes as well.
An interesting addition is the TAF (Téléaffichage) system, which is a GCI (Ground Control Interception) system that is meant to use ground control stations (airfields, SAM search radars, EWR (Early Warning Radar), etc.) to send guidance information to the pilot in order to intercept threats penetrating the airspace. In practice, TAF works in a similar way to Datalink. The pilot tunes to a specific channel, which is assigned to a specific station. Then, the station displays symbology for the planned trajectory and location of the targets to intercept and displays recommended rules of engagement to follow and an intercept course.
Interestingly, this system was tested on the aircraft but never fielded operationally. TAF can be made available or unavailable via the Mission Editor “Enable TAF GCI Link” option.
