North Grumman posted this video:>https://youtu.be/xumHWugbvkY?si=EYhc0xu96sy9Ye8pDoes this mean that the XM1182 HEAB-T is finally in use? Also a few follow-up questions:>could this setup be used as an "ad-hoc" C-RAM platform?>so now in theory every platform with an M230LF could become an C-UAS platform? (+a MHR radar)>could this ammo be used with the AH-64s? Israelis have recently used them as drone hunters.
>>64758274very based, drone genocide pls
>>64758274Price tag?
>>64758274>>could this ammo be used with the AH-64s?Nyo. AH-64 ammo is electrically primed. I dunno would do they changed ground cannons to percussion primers.
>>64758292They didn't post one so it's free
>>64758292$2-2.5k each
>>64758309Is this good or bad
>>64758313Not great not terrible.Previously 3P 40-57mm prox rounds costed like $3000-6000. That is not the terrible part.Basic FPV drone costs like $600 that is the no great part.
>>64758313good questionit's rather expensive, nearly the cost of an unguided 155mm artillery shell. and you'd have to fire off a volley to be sure of killing a drone. but still cheaper than using any missile to take down a drone.>>64758315>Basic FPV drone costs like $600nah, more than that
>>64758313it's affordable but it's also low rate production so who knows
>>64758315>Basic FPV drone costs like $600 that is the no great part.$2-2.5k per round is still cheaper than current available C-UAS used missiled.>>64758319Mass production will make it substantially cheaper.
>>64758295What about C-RAM roles? Against mortars and 155mm?
>>64758333too low velocity probably
>>64758333Completely useless. It's frag aren't be able to pen 155mm and mortar shells bodies.Look at 50mm EAP that was developed. It had forward focused 50mm with just 12 EFPs. This sort of effectors you need to pen artillery shell and have enough residual energy to set of explosives after.
I thought PFHE was nomenclature for proximity fused rounds and HEP was squash head (High Explosive, Plastic)?
>>64758313On par with getting some .303 these days
>>64758350>PFHEPre-Fragmented High-Explosive>HEP was squash head (High Explosive, Plastic)?Yeah. M1 tier misnomer.
Whats special about this? I thought we already had air burst munitions?
>>64758333man I miss seeing these graphicsthis was what we had instead of wikipedia or blogs, once upon a timeI wonder who made them
>>64758370Not for the now ubiquitous M230LF rws.
>>64758383Know that feel bro.I remember seeing such a graphic in some newspaper or some tehnical magazine and making my day. Simpler times.
