"Powered by 16 powerbooks in parallel, the radar rotates at 27rpm in defence and 13.5rpm in surveillance mode, and a cooling liquid controls temperature"
16 powerbooks in parallel? Is it a portable radar? :-)
"'As C-flex is based on Windows platform, the crew only needed a three-day crash course. We didn't even need a manual due to its intuitive nature. If anything goes wrong, we can carry out a complete restart in 10 minutes.
'To test a small target, we had two F-16s carry out inbound attack, and we detected them from 62km all the way down to sea level, with automatic tracking kicking in from 59km. Outbound, we tracked them out to 250km at 8km height. Maximum range really is 250km, not just specification."
