RE: avionics

Might be able to help here

Mirage 2000

Sagem SIGMA series inertial nav system = good
sextant topstar 100 gps reciever
thomson csf racal TACAN
thomson csf detexis tpe IMA or could be type 2084 mission computer
Atlis 2 targetting pod
sagem mercator digital map generator
sextant ve130 HUD
thomson csf IMEWS integrated self protection suite = not too well in trials
and Thomson RDY Radar = very good

F-16 Block 60

Synthetic apature radar with capability to track and engage ground and air targets without changing modes and active array antenna = sexy, no one has this yet,
lantrin pod nav and targetting
taws digital terrain system = best and most accurate
ASQ220 comm/nav/id suite = also used in F-22
ALQ - 165 JAMER AND EW pod
1999 update version programmable to counter S-300/400 missiles
ALR 56 radar warning reciever = can locate and identify threats to give guidence to HARM missiles

to be honest most of the EW suite on the Block 60 is classified
but the Mirage 2000 5/9 is no match for it! The UAE will use both
and it is pretty obvious what system they prefer!

SO
