AESA, actively scanned electronic array. Among other things, they're harder to detect and jam than older radars, so aircraft don't know if they've been detected and EW techniques aren't as effective.

- jojobas 3y agoAESA is just the way you form and steer the beam and listen for the return. It doesn't automagically mean your beam is less detectable or harder to jam. It's the tricks that are easier to deploy with AESA that achieve that - noise-like signal, higher receiver sensitivity allowing for lower emission power, clever signal processing etc.
