Less complexty equals high chance of long endurance and reliability
complexity*
Typical layout of a surface to air missile note the actuator at the bottom of the missile
In time you too will come to appreciate grease
I have my gamer boy grease already
Dont need more of that leaky grease over my electronics
while my missile is performing hard turns
Can you make me a ICBM?
Yes
Sweet
SLBM's are harder to make
so yes i can
Depends on the target
you want to hit
because you may need Penetration Aids which will help the warhead reach the target area without getting intercepted
I'm afraid that's as far as my knowledge goes lol.
just tell me what you wanna hit and i can tell you what you need and teach you anything if you like
How about...I don't know, Tokyo for example.
Tokyo is protected with the US's Navy Ballistic Missile Defence shield called 'Aegis'
for example SM-6
All of them rely on Radar guidance which means you need Radio jammers
Optical decoys arent needed then
Radio jammers would be enough to stop the defense system from firing off and stopping the missle? How strong would those have to be?
I'll make it simple radar is basically this
Radar knows your distance by counting the time needed for the reflected wave to come back
That's simple enough to understand.
Yes but if you wanna get complex the radar has 3 stages
Search
track
engage
Search radar uses low frequency waves that travel longer distances
They provide a general idea of the target distance but they can pin point the size or the exact distance or speed of the target due to the wave length
Track mode engages and radar wave frequency gets elevated to what is called X band or KU band for ultra high frequency
the accuracy of data is a lot better now and you can get a radar imagery of the target but your wave doesnt travel that far since its much smaller so you cant do that mode until the target reaches a certain area
Engage mode gets engage after receiving the data about the threat
so you do a trick called 'painting the target'
its focusing the radar waves on the target so you send a missile that follows those waves like a dog following a stick
So you have to sacrifice distance for shape, as in what exactly the object detected is? Depending on the frequency.
