User Interface

The sensor display substitutes the old UI radar and compass, and brings a pocketful of new targeting information. We've approached it as a 'situational display' that synthesizes target information from all sensors, threat warnings, and Data Link. Like the old radar, the sensor display displays the situation around you from a top-down perspective.

Action keybinds (default)

R	Select next target (targets are prioritized according to the currently selected weapon and the target threat)
T	Select target under the cursor / center of view
LCTRL + R	Toggle radar on/off

See Custom panels page for more info about controlling the Sensor display.

Mechanics

Active Radar

• only sensor that can be switched ON and OFF.
• only sensor that provides information about a target's speed, altitude, and distance
• to be able to lock on target the radar-guided (ARH) missiles require the radar to be switched ON
• activated radar makes your vehicle detectable by RWR or Passive radars at up to twice the range of your own radar.

RWR and Passive Radar

• detects anyone who has a radar ON at twice the distance of the tracked radar's own range.
• provides unique indication to targets with active radars
• most often the RWR can detect radar threat in 360° field-of-view
• additional passive radar (less common than RWR) allows you to mark the radar threat and use it for targeting your weapons

Infrared sensor

• can only detect 'hot' targets - vehicles that have been heated up by a running engine or fired weapon
• susceptible to environmental conditions (fog)
• often with field-of-view limited to the optics field-of-view
• often coupled with Visual sensor

Visual sensor

• can detect cold targets
• susceptible to environmental conditions (fog, light), in most cases useless at night
• often with field-of-view limited to the optics field-of-view
• often coupled with IR sensor

Laser and strobe tracker

• detect a spot lased by a laser designator or an IR grenade (as a homing beacon)
• usually with a 180° front hemisphere field-of-view

Human sensor

• able to detect and track human targets
• doesn't fully work with data link

Data Link

• with send position capability - broadcasts own position to everyone on the same side who has a receive capability
  • Can be adjusted in-game via vehicleReportOwnPosition, setVehicleReportOwnPosition or in Eden editor vehicle attributes - Electronics & Sensors
• with send capability - broadcasts all targets acquired by own sensor suite to everyone on the same side who has a receive capability
  • Can be adjusted in-game via vehicleReportRemoteTargets, setVehicleReportRemoteTargets or in Eden editor vehicle attributes - Electronics & Sensors
• with receive capability - receives targets from send-enabled units on the same side; the targets will be displayed on Sensor panel - meaning the vehicle has to have the sensor panel in the first place
  • Can be adjusted in-game via vehicleReceiveRemoteTargets, setVehicleReceiveRemoteTargets or in Eden editor vehicle attributes - Electronics & Sensors
• with targeting (sensor) capability - conditioned by the receive capability; adds an ability to mark targets received via data link and achieve an easier lock-on or engage these targets with lock-after-launch ammo.

Sensor Platforms

The AH-9 Pawnee, MH-9 Hummingbird, M-900 helicopters and the Caesar BTT airplane have no sensor systems or Sensor Display
