I have no idea of who actually produced this video. If you know, please post below. Thanks!
And I hope this wasn't the way they advertised the system to others!
Can't give it a vote though.
The idea is that every one of these systems uses a very high resolution adaptive phased array array radar. That's a radar made from a grid of hundreds or thousands of tiny antennas. The requirements are very strict -- you need to accurately detect an object with a cross section of just a few square meters from thousands of km away. In order to combine and process the array's output you need a lot of processing power. Today's hardware is at the threshold of making this possible on a large scale, and in 10 years this system will be very accurate.
It's completely unnecessary, and should be banned by treaty - but, of course, the tail is wagging the dog here and the arms industry will lobby heavily to make sure that never happens. Idiots.
Maybe we should ban all guns and weapons of any kind as well and simply hope that all the criminals of the world will follow the law.
That's not what I said, and you know it - so please don't twist my words around. Thanks.
but really: the Patriot missle system has been proven not to work very well, larger warhead missles now have some clever counter measures, and im pretty sure if any country was going to Nuke the states, they would be so bold as to use missiles, im pretty sure it'd be some crappy RC airplane launched from some guys boat and flown in by remote and detonated. unless it was by china. (mostly opinion.)
Anybody figure out how it will protect us against a dirty suitcase bomb? An attack on a chemical plant (which STILL have not been secured according to the recommendations of the 9-11 Homeland Security group)? Boxcutters? A reservoir? An IED, for christ's sake?
Thought not. That IS the problem, isn't it? No thought, all glitz. It's what these corpse-orations do quite well. And please spare me the outdated fear-mongering of a discredited neocon, corporation suckhole. The no-bid, no-review war profiteers are doing landmark business at the cost of soldiers lives and limbs.
It's not what cost freedom. It's what cost corporate profit?
Would someone please hook these warmongers up with a WOW account?
The new PAC-3 and soon to come ABL are actually really effective, if I remember correctly the new PAC-3 is at 89-91%. However, it is only meant to defend against small scale launch, like a couple of SRBM/SLBM, IMRBM, and maybe one ICBM. It's really really hard to fend off ICBMs, esp when some one can launch more than say 3 or 4. These days all ICBMs cantains about 10-20 warheads and all are MIRV(Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) So that means the system will need to track up to 80 warheads, and wardheads will not only flare as seen in the video, it will also deploy counter measures and decoys makes it even harder to track. I am not opposed to the system, it's a great safty net against "rouge states" that are willing to launch 1or2 warheads that they have for an all out attack. But like theo47 said how can we be sure that it won't start the "Arms race" again and that some future "warmonger" president won't use it as a tool to start a nuclear war.
