The MRM-KE, also known as X-Rod, is a 120mm precision guided munition for use by the M256 tank gun found on the M1 Abrams. It was designed to fullfill a requirement for Future Combat Systems for a long range, Beyond Line of Sight tank munition.
There a great difference between a proyectile and a missile. the fisrt is propulsed for the combustion in a shell of any type of round. The second need and internal fuel to propulse himself to the target!
thats not a missile thats an tank round, dont know witch but it is one, second the camera is moved by an robot. you just program the way it should move and you know the speed of the round so you know how fast he has to move there you have it a syncron move
i was wondering the same thing...how did they manage to do that speed?lol unless they programmed the cammera to rotate at an exact speed after an exact ammount of seconds after the trigger no? wachu think?
Wel, you dont have to move the camera very fast to follow a missle. Just place it in a distance of 20-50m. Zoom near the spot you want to see and a smal spin at your position will cause a big spind in the distance ;)(ok maybe a larger distance, never done it myself, but the theory is correct^^)
@AVP181 easy m8 just as the misile was bout to dispatch the camera mans m8 spoted a bare naked lass to the far left and before he could get the words out the camera man snapped to the left causing perfect timing and incidently ended up following a misile >>>>> amazing
isn't that water vapour due to the pressure wave? pressure drop causes temperature drop (no heat transfer) which leads to water vapour if it's below the dew point of air. i may be wrong - long time since i did thermodynamics at university! peace
It is not a missile it is a fin-stabilized cannon round of some kind, most likely a high explosive shell.
They are able to track the shell so precisely and smoothly because they use radar to aim the camera, same way the cameras that track NASA missle launches work.
@manxdude1 that's the round arming itself. the round doesn't explode before it has travelled a certain distance from the tank, because otherwise you could kill yourself by shooting something that's too close.
the camera is most likely recording a mirror that is programmed to turn at the predetermined speed. no human could do that but its not impossible with technology today
That's not completely true. There are hyper-fast motion trackers out there... In this case, they can even have access to the same tracking systems their other military equipment uses (eg. fighter jets, etc... -- not motion tracking but heat signature or others)
A modern tank round travels at around 1600 m/s. Over 1/10 of a second it travelled 160 m. If the camera was 2000m away, the camera would only need to turn 9 degrees to track the shell over the second. That is only 1.5 rpm. It is insanely slow.
Standard film camera mounts can be programmed to pan at fixed rates. You know the distance and velocity, so calculating the angle and time you want the camera to pan over is trivial.
i'm assuming you said it was just a shell and some one called you a retard? that guy was an idiot. who cares if it's a shell or not. like you said "entitled to his own opinion".
and that person called me retar for my opinion... And you are correct, i'm not going to insult you because a simple opinion.. Its yor right to comment anything you want about the video!
how fast does the missile travel. what is the distance from camera. what is the angle from firing point to end. find necessary rpm. set spring loaded mechanism to said rpm. the trick is triggering it right when the missile leaves.
someone go out and buy "Janes Ammunition handbook" if you want to know about everything. Janes has it all. Dont even mention bullets when dealing with artillary, theres shells, rounds and rockets but bullets are for girls. Go Navy, Go Balls Deep. 8-)
The camera or more likely the camera's mounting is specifically designed for following flying ammunition. I don't know the details, but probably its not very difficult to simply program the equipment with the expected trajectory of the round, which will be very consistent from shot to shot, and then trigger it to watch that exact trajectory at the moment the round is fired.
the cam is probably long away from the ERGM but zoomed in, then its actualy quite easy if they calculated the speed of the object and made the cam pan as fast as it
It's no missile. It's a ERGM (Extended Range Guided Munition) that is being developed for the U.S. Navy's 5 in. gun systems and maybe for any ground artillery weapons.
technically it can be considered a missile. any object flying through air can be considered a missile, eg, a 9mm round, or a milkshake lobbed from a school bus window(the perps got cited for "launching missiles").
Technically you're wrong. It's no missile, it uses no accelerated thrust vectoring or extended fuel supply to maintain flight. Missiles go farther than this round. This round will replace all current 5" rounds. Save the missiles for longer and/or faster targets.
So if a word has more than one definition, I should ask you (Mr. Knowitall) which one is correct and which one is incorrect? Not everything is found inside a Tom Clancy book/novel.
I would guess a moving mirror was used (much less mass and easier to move quickly) while the camera stayed stationary. As for tracking the missile, someone definitely did their math homework!
this is not a missile it's a kinetic energy penetrator (also known as a KE weapon) a type of ammunition which, like a bullet, does not contain explosives, and uses kinetic energy to penetrate the target.
It is called the X-ROD, fire and forget, guided, boosted and "smart" tank fired kinetic energy projectile for highly accurate defeat of current and projected armor threats at ranges or at least 4km.
for referencing, does anybody know what type of missile that is, I need to get a better reference picture for a project I'm doing?
thank you
