A Comparative Analysis of the ECRS Mk2 and AN/APG-81 Radars

1/25 Introduction to Modern Air Combat Radars

Modern air combat demands advanced radar systems to navigate complex electromagnetic environments, support multi-role missions, and ensure platform survivability. This thread compares the European Common Radar System Mark X (ECRS Mk2) for the Eurofighter Typhoon and the AN/APG-81 for the F-35 Lightning II, analysing their development, design, and strategic roles. I also examine France’s RBE2 radar, the ECRS Mk2’s prolonged gestation, and optimal air combat applications.
