How do all those electronic systems crammed onto a warship’s mast manage to work in harmony, while my wireless keyboard stops working just because I put my smart phone next to it?

WIFI bands above Link16 and TACAN at the bottom??
Doubt.

Ten million dollars versus ten dollars.

Flyboys normally demand their stuff to be fitted at the top and they normally get what they demand. This development here is a major departure from decades of tradition. The dish at the top of the left mast, 9 m tall, is a TACAN antenna.

>>106142276
Yes and if you read what it says
> Able to detect radar and communication waves quickly by relocating the TACAN on the bottom and installing the detection antenna on the top
> New TACAN antenna have been changed to a hollow shape which improves flexibility of antenna placement and attachment

Soulless vs SOVL

Lol the ship has a dildo on its head

Because civvie radios are intentionally cucked by meme export control laws.

For good reason, you don't deserve to be able to drown out your neighbors network because you bought a product that allows you up the broadcast power.

You're not responsible enough to be trusted with self control to limit your broadcast output power to levels that would allow others to share the spectrum.

I'm not even talking about making noise, I just mean basic shit like FHSS. I'm shocked it was allowed for Bluetooth at least.

Try some soulmaxxing.

left: single point of failure, more expensive due to requiring custom manufacturing

right: distributed, fault tolerant, cheaper and uses more off the shelf parts

You don't really know anything about defence contracts, do you?

no

hey finally a thread where i can shill this boomer's youtube channel. seems to be an expert in ship/missile radar and jamming

>>106141870 (OP)
Systems engineers (read: PowerPoint engineers) working for big ass corps with 15 different subcontractors doing all the actual work trying to figure out how their dumbass system works because they won’t provide any actual docs and don’t know how it works

>>106141870 (OP)
There is a dude inside at all times fixing shit

That must be some shitty wireless keyboard. I never had a problem of that kind.

your keyboard or battleship

shit done via radio frequency harmonics

It's all milspec. That means it passes military specification, including tests for unintended RF interference both emitting and receiving. Not to mention deliberate jamming.
I mean these battleships run into the billions. If they don't test, it's just a white elephant.

That's a frigate anon. They're also only about $450-500m each. Though the replacement ships are $600-800m each.

Australia just announced they're buying 11 of them. Japan's largest ever export sale for military equipment.

The technobabble is strong with this one.

more than you can afford on your centrelink benefits

Anon, that's a Japanese ship

NTA but so what?

US ships don't use an integrated mast outside of the San Antonio class and the Zumwalt class.

San Antonio class ships are just transport ships (fancy transport ships, but still just moving shit around).

Zumwalts almost don't exit, only 3 were ever made, only 2 are currently active, and they currently do really do much of anything, they're undergoing hypersonic missile upgrades, but even then with only 3 ships they're not a serious part of naval firepower or doctrine.

tldr; the navy wouldn't give 2 shits even if you could triangulate the position of boats that are visible with satellites anyway.

I know they had other boats with some stealth qualities, I am guessing here but I think they might have used ferrite paint (or "iron ball"). I remember the boats well, it was huge, much darker than normal navy coloring and was ugly as sin, and it failed spectacularly to appear on our commercial radar screen. They had forgotten to turn on the echo transponder, that came on later and made it appear more or less as normal. I monitored the PPI and adjusted the gains to try to find it but ended called up senior staff and it is no exaggeration to say they were rather disturbed.

So they have at least some boats with stealth, probably more than we know.
