The radar provides all-weather, day or night detection and tracking of aerial targets in an electronic warfare environment for beyond visual range combat and short-range close combat modes. This includes settings designed to maximum performance based target closure rate, automatic designation, and antenna steering. The IRST on the other hand provides shorter range, yet passive aerial target detection based on target infrared signature. Both the radar and IRST can also work cooperatively. The Fulcrum also boasts a Helmet Mounted Sight, or HMS, to cue high-off boresight missiles like the R-73 ‘Archer’.
