Super Hornet Radar Not Ready For Combat
A U.S. Navy operational evaluation of the APG-79 for the Super Hornet on older software (tape H-3) last summer found that it is "not effective and not suitable for combat operations."
Senior Navy officials say the radar is now using a new software (tape H-4E) for flight-testing.
The report did praised the design as a "quantum leap" in air-to-air capability.
