Terminal EO/IR also gives you a degree of precision that you just can't get with GPS. <br /><br />Navy air has been using similar system in its Standoff-Land Attack Missile (SLAM) for more than a decade.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standoff_Land_Attack_MissileAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-28488199031870079272012-10-14T09:56:58.678-07:002012-10-14T09:56:58.678-07:00EO can be and is likely IIR. Case in point, EOTS. ...EO can be and is likely IIR. Case in point, EOTS. The fact the LM is developing LRASM, made the "electro-optical seeker" quote and makes the EOTS gives weight to this assumption.<br /><br />As to RF jamming, yes, it is quite effective. HOJ would not counter jamming well due to HOJ not being able to discriminate between targets and can be lured away easily. Besides, a non IIR EO (visible light spectrum only) would have severely degraded night attack capability.<br /><br />btw, visible light "jamming" is done quite easily with smoke screens.<br /><br />Here are some links and info on LRASM:<br /><br />Here is the oringinal <a href="http://news.usni.org/news-analysis/news/naval-systems-antiship-missile-moves-toward-flight-test" rel="nofollow">Procedings</a> article.<br /><br />Here is what the DoD RDDS (<a href="http://www.dtic.mil/descriptivesum/Y2013/DARPA/0603286E_3_PB_2013.pdf" rel="nofollow">latest USN Budget Doc</a>) has to say about the LRASM sensor package (pg6)<br /><br />"multi-modal sensors for high probability target identification in dense shipping environments, and precision aimpoint targeting for maximum lethality."<br /><br />As to datalink jamming and how it relates to UAVs, they already address this with SATCOM. There is a delay due to the distances involved, but at least it works. If they wanted to, they could use a directional datalink like the F-35's MADL in the future that will help keep the UCAVs connected and sill hidden.SpudmanWPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808856347047254385noreply@blogger.com
