Overview
Vehicle and ammo sensors for target detection and tracking.

> Forum thread
> Configuration
User Interface
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
- Can be adjusted in-game via vehicleReportOwnPosition, setVehicleReportOwnPosition or in Eden editor vehicle attributes - Electronics & Sensors
- with send capability - broadcasts all targets acquired by own sensor suite to everyone on the same side who has a receive capability
- Can be adjusted in-game via vehicleReportRemoteTargets, setVehicleReportRemoteTargets or in Eden editor vehicle attributes - Electronics & Sensors
- 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
- Can be adjusted in-game via vehicleReceiveRemoteTargets, setVehicleReceiveRemoteTargets or in Eden editor vehicle attributes - Electronics & Sensors
- 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.
