Questions about Typhoon CAPTOR radar

[Viktor35440]

We know the CAPTOR-E has three versions:ECRS Mk0,Mk1 and Mk2,Mk0 use the CAPTOR-M's back end and software based on CAPTOR-m software,Does this mean that the upgrade from CAPTOR-M to ECRS Mk0 is only an upgrade in performance data without a change in radar operating mode?

 

[Jackonicko]

ECRS.Mk 0 is based on the Captor-M back end and software, and the MMI is virtually seamless. The operating modes are tweaked to allow full exploitation of the much increased off boresight capabilities, better track 'quality' and new waveforms that the radar permits.

 

[Jackonicko]

Crucially, both Captor M and ECRS.Mk 0 are currently mode- and not task-based. TBM is expected to be introduced on all Captor models.

Albeit factually the ECRS Mk0 software is nevertheless written from scratch and it doesn't directly inherit the extant Captor-M modes.
