When will Manpads start integrating Thermal, opti electric, UV and millimiter wave seekers all in one go?
>>64737659when procurement agencies decide that wasting that amount of money for almost no benefit is worth it.
>>64737664I guess that would have helped maduro though,Wouldnt it?
No
You dumb fucking frog nigger modern MANPADS seekers are already contrast ir/uv with optional irst/radar datalinks.
>>64737659When money grows on trees.
>>64737669No, because Maduro’s soldiers decided that it wasn’t worth their lives to even try to shoot down a helicopter. “Better” MANPADs doesn’t help this.
>>64737659Integrated AI fire-and-forget target tracking using a model trained on image recognition software would unironically be GOATed. >missile tracks aircraft without user input>runs at like 60fps, scans and compares every frame thousands of times per second to ID the moving target, perform IFF and proceed to engage. >harder to fool with conventional counter measures since the onboard AI is using a variety of sensors and cameras to determine it’s target velocity and trajectoryI know it basically sci-fi bullshit right now, but it’s cool to think about. I got the idea from a future weapons book written in the 80s talking about the weapons of WWIII.
>>64738673I think ukies are working on this kind of a solution for their impact based interceptor drones meant to shoot down shaheds and other cheap munitions.
>>64738673>gives a perfect description of IIR>re-brands it as "AI" to sound hip and modernActually kys
>>64738673a few years back a group of marines were tasked with getting past just such a system as you described.Turns out all they had to do was not look like a walking human. Thus the Marines succeeded with absolutely humiliating ease. They crawled, they rolled, they pulled a solid snake (the box). It all worked. The technology was not there yet.
