Because it would be just as large, complex, and expensive as a normal air-to-air missile.

Partially failed airdrop? I see the arresting booster working correctly on one of the packages, but it looks like a premature firing on the first one out of the plane before it takes the fast way down.

Not to mention going on a mission where you're devoting a pylon or pylons to shooting down a single incoming SAM means you should really dedicate some more time to mission planning and dedicated SEAD/DEAD instead. Some kind of highly effective pylon-mounted dazzler/jammer/grover-laser is a different story.

Wikipedia tells me that it's completely unmanned, and has a decent array of sensors to check out bad dudes. Also has some weapons, but doesn't specify what that is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardium Better it than me getting my lazy rear end getting shot at.

Until you're one of the retards that gets tasked to go recover it because it's got what looks like less than a foot of ground clearance. Probably handles terrain that isn't perfectly flat asphalt about as well as you'd expect, too.

Probably handles terrain that isn't perfectly flat asphalt about as well as you'd expect, too. In a DOD video it was basically touted as a low footprint way to at least have a set of eyes roving a perimeter and as a show that anyone wanting to attack or just steal stuff would face the possibility of being seen without having a platoon of troops on guard rotations beyond armed guards at key points like the gate. They were definitely measuring expectations carefully.

Can anyone here identify what type of FFAR rocket munitions or fuze is being used in this video where it looks like they are airbursting above the target? Thanks GIP. https://youtu.be/WIC_odeqhFU Steeltalon fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Oct 17, 2016 |
