Let’s speculate about future Rafale capabilities.
We all know that RBE2-AA is one of smallest 4.5th gen antennas, Captor-E mk1 seems to be more advanced at the moment with mk2 around the corner for Tranche 4. Some time ago articles were published about the upcoming Rafale F4, with a new RBE2-XG which should be based on GaN T/R module technology. Do you think this will put Rafale ahead of EF again in terms of radar technology?
