The new Sensor system gets enabled by defining a SensorsManagerComponent class inside the vehicle's [[Arma_3_Components|Components]] class.
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
class MyVehicle_F : MyBaseVehicle_F
{
      class Components : Components                 
      {
            class SensorsManagerComponent : SensorTemplatePassiveRadar
            {
            };                                                                                           
      };
};
</syntaxhighlight>


For simplicity the class can inherit from one of the templates that are available in the configFile root, which allows you to only change the properties you need.

User Interface

Arma 3 Sensors Sensor Display symbology.png

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.
