*** Posted by run *** Yes, but they are getting better and better. First generation missiles had a tendency to go for the sun and reflections. I don't know who designed them run [Hi RUN, Wow! That's interesting. Is it possible for the missle to get confused in some way with other heat emmiting sources & who designed and developed the ...

*** Posted by run *** [Hi, This is really interesting. Do you think some of the big manufacutrers of today are working on such devices. If we had a bit more technology knowledge I think this could be done, but today these large balistic interceptor lasers need to be cooled to unbelivable temps and they demand huge amounts of power. It would ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi RUN, Wow! That's interesting. Is it possible for the missle to get confused in some way with other heat emmiting sources & who designed and developed the cooled heat seeker? Rapier [It's a lot more sensitive when you cool it down. Cooling made it possible to go from tail acpect only to all aspect.]

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi, They could still be called rockets even though todays rockets are dumb, theoretically speaking all rockets fly in a straight line but they are guided in some way by the targeting computer & pilot of say the F-16, so they are not totally dumb they just follow orders from the pilot, but todays rockets have not ...

*** Posted by run *** [Hi, I've been thinking about the counter measures (flares & Chaff) on todays fighter aircraft. How well do they function in real combat? What if they developed a counter measure that is like a small missle and can be fired from the plane in any angle (like a gun turret). These small missles could be made to track ...

Fx does something that's 25 degrees Celsius not feel especially hot to you, but if you stick your finger in a bucket of ice for 10 minutes & feel it again it would feel hot ;o) Run [Hi, Why do IR A-A ...

*** Posted by run *** Well I guess it wouldn't be rockets then ;o) Or I guess you could say that a Maverick is a big guided ''rocket'' ;o) Run [Hi all, I think it's about time they developed guided rockets (smart rockets) it would increase the chances of hitting the target, or would it, smart weapons have been known to go astray. What do ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi, Why do IR A-A missles need to be cooled? Is this something to do with aquiring the target in some way? Thanks just something I've alway wondered. Rapier
