Description

U13682523/ARI 23333/1 is the official designation for the British Marconi Zeus Electronic Warfare system. The Zeus EW system comprises of an advanced Radar Warning Receiver paired with an active jamming system; though only the former is modelled in game. The Marconi Zeus was the world's first fully integrated ESM / ECM system to enter service.

RWR interface

The ARI 23333/1 provides limited target identification on the RWR display. Rather than identifying individual radars it will instead identify the type of radar (pulse, pulse doppler, AAA, etc.). A unique feature is that it ties to identify whether a radar is friendly or enemy based on it's type; NATO radars are generally considered friendly, while soviet radars are typically considered hostile.

Msg-info.png Due to teams in War Thunder often consisting of aircraft from multiple nations the friendly / hostile indication on the RWR cannot always be trusted.

Comparison with analogues

The ARI 18228 is essentially an improved version of the ARI 18223, with the main difference being that the ARI 18228 can provide the exact bearing of targets (whereas ARI 18223 only has four sectors) and identify radar bands on the RWR screen.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Decent frequency coverage
  • Good vertical coverage
  • Can show the band of each radar on the RWR display

Cons:

  • Does not provide full target identification

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the Radar warning Receiver in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the radar and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(RWR-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
