I'm not sure the mast would do much since it has to be radar transparent. The USN's preferred solution at the end of the day was flush antennae in a low RCS housing, but this was really expensive, and didn't really work very well in practice since a lot of the antennae ended up vaporware.

Radar transparency is not complicated.

How much can it cost? Unless they cut back on the electronics on the mast, they won't save much.

Q:1.I don't think there will be too many t / R modules in other locations except for the nose part.Can it really find stealth fighters from all directions?Does AESA perform well in detecting stealth fighters?The message I got was that AESA could concentrate all of its power in one direction to detect stealth aircraft
2.Will radar antenna affect stealth capability?Whether installing so many radar antennas will greatly affect its stealth ability?
3.Are aircraft platforms more important or missiles and radars more important?I think if the large radar can find stealth fighters at a long distance, then the fighter team equipped with AWACS and advanced missiles can effectively counter stealth fighters
[/spoiler]
1.Well for the L-band antenna in wing leading edge... the size would be dependent on the available length and frequency. So far however 12 elements per leading edge appears to be practical thus if they are working in Unison that would made about 24 elements. The range however is hotly debated. Common consensus however regards wing leading edge AESA on Su-57 was a mere IFF.
Which is true if it assumed to be working in the same manner as the nose AESA. Problem is that it may not so as far as i see.
The following is a simple "tradeoff" sheet i make mainly to compare or estimate radar performance based Only on 4th root laws
The sheet however includes RCS "scaling" so you can compare radar or "build" a radar based on your reference but works in different wavelength. Top is known parameters for Su-57 nose radar, lower one is "scaled" radar but with less elements and different wavelength.
The important parameter here is the Pulsewidth and the Dwell time. As seen working on L-band, 24 elements. 100 usec of pulsewitdh and 1 Second of beam dwell time.. so the beam would "stay" on particular sector for 1 second... Thus if you have 5 sectors, then your search time would be 5 seconds. One can have considerable range against 0.001 sqm RCS in X-band (about 0.005 sqm in L-band)
If the radar works independently (12 elements)
The range is about 82 Km.
However one may doubt the usefullness of it. Long dwell time does help range BUT.. it may actually lowers the probability of target being detected as target may "escape" before the beam is there. Plus 1 second is considerable time for ESM receiver. Long pulsewidth is helpful.. but It may lowers your minimum range... 100 us pulsewitdh is about 1500m of "dead range" where your radar cannot detect target due to eclipsing.
2.Yes as Radar antenna is a very great reflector. There is Bragg lobes and direct reflection lobes.. thus why stealth fighter or reduced RCS fighter have its radar canted upwards. Otherwise the radome have to be designed to be "frequency selective" so only working frequency of the antenna can enter the radome.
-----------------------
Anyway.. i would release the sheet soon including the description on how to use it.

Well no.. as if it doesnt do any RCS reduction then it wont be shaped the way it is. It just the Russians have different idea on how to do things.

Climate is temperate, moderate and fairly warm all around.
My military specializes in counter insurgency and dealing with strong points and fortifications quite well if that helps.

The necessity of a navy, in the restricted sense of the word, springs, therefore, from the existence of a peaceful shipping, and disappears with it, except in the case of a nation which has aggressive tendencies, and keeps up a navy merely as a branch of the military establishment. 1

Don't neglect amphibious warfare, or you will be unable to seriously impact events beyond the nations you share a land border with. Cruise missiles and air strikes are effectively a bloody nose, it takes an invasion and ground combat to knock out a country.

It's attacking from a radio band that no Soviet or PRC'ian RWR with 1980's tech were ever expected to measure. So the first sign that you are being attacked is you exploding.

This armoured suit is comprised of sheer thickening fluid impregnated ballistic fibres and has a cooling/impact mitigation underlayer. It weights approximately 30lbs.
