Anyone know why it was chosen over Predator/Mariner?


A BAMS radar is cover for the actual design. * A classified ability is
to be fielded. *It was warned of in the website given above. *Look
down radar in a small package is a big deal. *It is not conventional
AWACS look down.

So the only alternative is to surmise the true functional theory. *A
paired aircraft system might be a hidden technology. *A side radar
while it looks to the front allows scanning. So simple side " i forget
the name", radar, front looking.

A speed issue would appear the problem for the aircraft would have to
search. *A large area side radar scan is possible as the size gets
larger. *A paired aircraft can cause the virtual source to enlargen.
Exact radar pulse timing between aircraft is implied.

A larger fleet means a faster scan.

Synthetic aperture radar!

A size of tranmitted pulse allows a like larger area as an aperture.
A larger radar antenna is directly proportional to the image area,
making a scanning possible to contruct the entire area. A literal set
of pixels is constructed.

A large baseline antenna does alter the actual u, secret implied.

A way to do the actual baseline transformation is the hidden
technology.
