Talk:Giraffe radar

Why is this still called the Ericcson Giraffe if Saab is now the owner of the technology?

Presumably because equipment already existing in inventories isn't renamed. Tomas e (talk) 11:12, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Australia is no longer operating the Sea Giraffe on the ANZAC frigates, it has been replaced by the CEAMOUNT/CEAFAR radar under project SEA1448 Phase 2 : http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/australia/hmas-anzac.htm They will however be using the Naval AMB variant on the Canberra class LHDs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.36.107.146 (talk) 04:49, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 21:03, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect image: "Giraffe S 3D"

The image labelled "1988, a Republic of Singapore Air Force's GIRAFFE S 3D radar on display at Paya Lebar Air Base." does not depict a "Giraffe S 3D" radar, nor is it any type of 3D radar:

1. "Giraffe S" is a 2D version of the Giraffe AMB (see e.g. this Master Thesis regarding mast development in collaboration with SAAB: http://publications.lib.chalmers.se/records/fulltext/134453.pdf )
2. Giraffe AMB was developed in the late 1990s, so it's quite impossible to have been sold to the Singapore airforce in 1988 (see e.g. the timeline in this presentation provided to the Czech defence university: http://katalog.unob.cz/konferencepvo/data/uploads/2012/dvd.img/prezentace/08_mikas.pdf )

It is, however, most likely a Giraffe 75 (source: did Swedish military service in a "PS-90", a.k.a. Giraffe 75).
