the dassau rafale is designed with a delta wing combined with an integrated
active canard to maximize maneuverability for stable flight from the electronic side
this aircraft is equipped with a thales rbe2 passive electronically scanned array system
by its manufacturer thales this tool can increase awareness of other fighter jets and can quickly
detect and track various targets in close combat as a complement the radar system is also equipped
with rbe2a in the form of an active electronically scanned array this tool has a detection capability
of up to 200 kilometers this radar is claimed to be very reliable in detecting opponents
and reducing maintenance compared to previous types to increase the air supremacy capability
the manufacturer has also installed a number of passive sensor systems namely an electro-optical
system in the form of optronic sector frontal which is integrated with the aircraft this osf
can detect and identify air targets meanwhile to support flight an integrated avionics module
or commonly called an mdpu modular data processing unit is installed the ima is claimed to be able to
assist pilots during combat operations in the form of analysis data from all sensor systems installed
on the aircraft the rafale is also equipped with an integrated defense assist system called spectra
which can protect the aircraft from airing ground attacks this ability was demonstrated in a battle
where the rafale could independently carry out missions to destroy enemy air defense equipment
in addition to attacking enemies in the air rafale is also able to target enemies on the ground with
equipment called thales optronics new generation ricoh reconnaissance and electro-optical damocles
simultaneously these two tools provide information about the target's position open reconnaissance
missions and have been integrated with the ima system rafale is equipped with two snekma
m88 engines these engines make this aircraft capable of accelerating up to mach 1.8 or 1912
kilometers per hour with a peak altitude and a low altitude of 1.1 mach or 1 390 kilometers per hour
