This is a very in-depth subject, and needs to be covered in detail for a good understanding of theory and practice of radar detection and interception.
It will fall into 3 categories:
a. Theory of RADAR.
b. F/a-18C Radar systems
c. Implementation and tactics of BVR intercepts.
For the most part, we will provide good quality videos covering the subjects, and leave it to each pilot to learn the systems and theory in their own time, and concentrate on the last subject as a group. There will be cross over between RADAR and weapons deployment, and individual weapons interaction with RADAR will be covered in the weapons section.
In addition to BVR, we will cover the ACM RADAR modes, which will include gun radar, WACQ, AACQ, Boresight and vertical scan modes.

Videos for BVR RADAR Theory:
RADAR is an acronym for Ranging and Direction finding Acquisition by Radio Waves. This section will cover air to air RADAR, and separate section will cover Air to Surface modes and their use in weapons deployment.
We will begin with basic principles, detailing how RADAR works, and it's limitations.
