Da li bi ovo cudo zapravo moglo "rafalno" da roka ove Javeline ? Ako ima mogucnost ciljanja po vise kanala, Javelin je svakako ispali i zaboravi. Mislim da to i jeste zamisao, predstavljen je mornarici verovatno za odbranu od gomile malih raketnih camaca.
Citat:The Eagle Fire launcher has about 75 percent of the capability of ITAS and costs about one-third of the price, Alvarez said.
The new launcher is fully digital, has the capability to see at night, and is powered by lithium ion batteries or a vehicle’s power source. The battery life is extended from two hours to nine hours.
The cost of ownership was also greatly reduced from previous systems, Alvarez noted, because Raytheon was able to develop the launcher with just five line replaceable units. The older launcher had more than 10 LRUs.
With fewer LRUs, the time to train and to maintain the launcher will be greatly reduced and will save millions of dollars on extensive training, according to Alvarez.
The launcher is capable of firing both old wired TOW missiles — there are tens of thousands of those out there — and the new RF transmitter TOW missiles.
Прегледах целу тему, али нисам нашао ништа (или нисам лепо прегледао) о употреби овог система код нас. Код Била Ганстона у оној чувеној трилогији, за ову ракету пише да се налазила и у нашем наоружању. Наравно, претпостављам да је реч о опитовању, али ништа више од самог податка (земље кориснице) нисам нашао. Има ли неко коментар?
