Mark Welsh. That matters because the information sent back by the drones is used to collect intelligence on enemy locations and guide bombing runs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462966624164095876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-41510273416239770032015-10-11T10:26:45.730-07:002015-10-11T10:26:45.730-07:00Sounds like a good reason to have armored ships wi...Sounds like a good reason to have armored ships with redundant systems.Mathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539193399759840787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-74539729438265034032015-10-09T01:27:00.831-07:002015-10-09T01:27:00.831-07:004 mill doesn't sound very expendable, are thes...4 mill doesn't sound very expendable, are these in any way recoverable, i'm guessing not ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729830680739249692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-56724636431294724012015-10-08T12:21:34.842-07:002015-10-08T12:21:34.842-07:00No training or testing is required because our Nav...No training or testing is required because our Navy cannot hit an incoming supersonic sea skimming missile head on with anything. Because of the curvature of the earth, engagement time is less than a minute. I think the future may be an automatic close in system mounted in flat pods along the side of ships, similar to the Trophy system developed for tanks. The missile would still cause damage as it explodes outside the ship, but it is far simpler and more reliable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-47499184303210481082015-10-08T10:58:12.939-07:002015-10-08T10:58:12.939-07:00If you make a realistic test environment, you have...If you make a realistic test environment, you have no reason not to test your new overpriced, non-functional systems.<br /><br />So why would an Admiral looking for a second career at the BIG Defense Contractors want this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-69322124329516648552015-10-08T09:09:08.011-07:002015-10-08T09:09:08.011-07:00If you're going so far as to make Coyote have ...If you're going so far as to make Coyote have all the capabilities, or a reasonable facsimile of those abilities, of a real AShM, how much harder would it be to make it a real AShM?
