4d radar?

What on earth is a 4D radar - I know that the source refers to a 4D radar but there is no such thing. Does the source mean a 3D radar (which is a thing), or a Cassidian TRS-4D radar as used (for example) by the German Baden-Württemberg-class frigates?Nigel Ish (talk) 18:27, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Armament and details

The contract hasn't even been signed yet and all the details added are speculative. A RFI list is a RFI, not the actual details. So do not place the details unless you have a source saying so.

Well there is [1] - which is apparently what Babcock say the ship is getting. Might at least be worth mentioning in the body of the article.Nigel Ish (talk) 12:11, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Nothing confirmed yet. Just because Babcock says that doesnt mean the RN is going to order that. BlueD954 (talk) 14:50, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Savetheroyalnavy is not an official site more even a blog site. They cannot be treated as official data. BlueD954 (talk) 14:51, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

[2] from Babcock (or more precisely the shiny video at the bottom of the page) at least suggest the radar and combat system choices that Babcock are proposing, and does count as a reliable source - obviously this could change (a lot!) once the ordering process starts and the proposals get properly costed and HM Government has to find the money to pay for the ships. All these shiney new weapon systems may be more expensive than the MoD were counting on.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:28, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
