Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) detects radio emissions from radar systems, it consists of several antennas, a processing unit, a radar library and an Azimuth Indicator (RWR display), and can be controlled by [[Threat Warning Prime|Threat Warning Prime]] or [[ Threat Warning Auxiliary|Threat Warning Auxiliary]] The main purpose is to issue warnings when a radar signal that may pose a threat is detected, such as a fighter jet's fire control radar. Warnings can then be used manually or automatically to circumvent detected threats. In addition, the distance of the emitter symbol from the center of the scope will not always be proportional to the actual distance, some ambiguities have been introduced. | Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) detects radio emissions from radar systems, it consists of several antennas, a processing unit, a radar library and an Azimuth Indicator (RWR display), and can be controlled by [[Threat Warning Prime|Threat Warning Prime]] or [[ Threat Warning Auxiliary|Threat Warning Auxiliary]] The main purpose is to issue warnings when a radar signal that may pose a threat is detected, such as a fighter jet's fire control radar.

There have few variants for RWR use in the F-16s in difference variants, depends on the [[CMDS Control Panel|CMDS]] it uses, and each having their own custom modes of operation, azimuth indicator, sounds, controls and direction-finding accuracy. | There have few variants for RWR use in the F-16s in difference variants, depends on the [[CMDS Control Panel|CMDS]] it uses, and each having their own custom modes of operation, azimuth indicator, sounds, controls and direction-finding accuracy. | ||
