Comments

Can't find any new range data. The 9LV200 Mk3 has a frequency agile magnetron with a frequency agility bandwith more than 10% more than 100 frequencies. Mk3 has a low sidelobe feed. One 9LV200 tracker can direct 2 guns/ciws simultaneously. Can track sea skimming missiles at 3m - 20m without degradation of performance.

9LV200 Mk3 CWI has an additional integrated X band cassegrain antenna for I band illumination for Sea Sparrow and ESSM missiles. This one is continous wave illumination (additional sensor code) 8 to 12.5 GHz. 9LV200 Mk4 has an extended range (40nm) and is early 2000s tech.

As in #1902, just confirming this is actually an update request?
