User Interface

Arma 3 Sensors Sensor Display symbology.png

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
  • with send capability - broadcasts all targets acquired by own sensor suite to everyone on the same side who has a receive capability
  • 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
  • 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
