Kaк я понимaю, eсли срaвнивaть Дeрби и AIM-120 то:
>The project director for the Derby, Uzi Ganani, said the new missile is lighter than the AIM120 and marks a "major advancement," because it has advanced programmable electronic counter-countermeasures which overcome aircraft anti-missile defenses.
eто глaвноe отличиe? Или eсть болee подробнaя инфa?
>eто глaвноe отличиe? Или eсть болee подробнaя инфa?
Это главное известное отличие. Обрати внимание:
Under the Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) approach, Phase 3 is designed to update the guidance control (seeker). Included with the new seeker, the software will also be continuously updated through Operational Flight Programs (OFP’s). Major advantages include:
Improved missile guidance and Electronic Counter Counter Measures (ECCM) capability.
Ability to detect, track, and guide to future targets through additional signal path’s, control functions, and processing capability.
Will provide near term improved capability and long term flexibility for threat expansion.
Will address further guidance control functions to counter current and future threats.
The 1997 Omnibus bills removed $15M from 3600 funding. This impacted the Phase 2 schedule which in turn delayed the Phase 3 work by one year. Without Phase 3, the
AMRAAM will not be able to counter future threat aircraft or Electronic Counter Measures employed by the threat.
Phase 3 propulsion is currently unfunded by both USAF and USN.
То есть получается что - они планировали апгрейд, но потом отрубили ему финансирование. А мы тем временем выпустили Дерби...
