anyone knows the tactical advantage of this system?
its only experimental right? i mean, does it have a purpose?
this thing only works in close range! Shaped charges and EFPs constitute the warhead of many diferent types of ordnance, which are destroyed in the process..
The Disposable Vehicle concept sounds silly..
Maybe 'cause im not seeing the big picture , here..
That's so retarded that it gets destroyed. All they need to do is put the efp on a stand and have the vehicle drop off the stand as the enemy approaches. Then through radio frequency, the stand can be adjusted to the target and fire. Well, obviously there would some draw backs. Of course you could get fancy and put a automated laser targeting system on the efp and launch the efp up like bouncing betty. It may need some gyroscopic stabilization.. maybe that vehicle's dirt cheap.
@444marines But you dont have to risk your ass to place the fire ant, with this one guy could send them out from the safety of a vehicle or a bunker. They have these things that are used like insurgence's use EFP's for and most modern one's are EFP's, there called anti tank mines and EFP's are not made in houses in Iraq (they can be assembled) but the parts come from Iran. If you mil out the metal concave plate even a tiny bit wrong it wont form the penetrator properly and wont work at all.
I guess a 6kg (?) copper plate traveling with about 2000m/s is capable of piercing any kind of armor.Its energy would be around 12MJ A 50 Bmg has about 0.02 MJ which is a 1/600.
@Hismathefirst don't comment if you don't know anything about what the video is about... its going wayyyyyyyyy faster than 2000m/s its going about 18000 feet/s give or take some changeand its not a 12 pound plate, its a round disc, made of different things, but normally copper, and its about 1/16 inches thick. when the explosive goes off it makes a "dart" from the copper folding onto itself.
@MrIwantmyownname I apologize, but it is you who is incorrect. An EFP does not go anywhere near 18,000 fps. That's the speed of a shaped charge for which you might be confusing. And yes, you could call it a 12 pound copper plate if you are being informal.

The US contributes more than two thirds of all the world's annual military expenditures combined --- you'd think the US military would have more to show for it.
Although it may not be cost effective, in reality, the US is more effective than any other force.
So if you look at the repercussions of losing a war; perhaps it is all worth it?
The effectiveness of the Virginia's and F-22's will show in future wars, that is for sure.
Maybe you should acknowledge Russia's major problems with the Lada class, the fact that no other country has viable carriers, and the many other non-US flaws?
EASY to make. Easy. The computer tracking system would be a little hard, but the ballistic device is very easy.

Does the vehicle have the ability to self destruct if found? Plus, how is a car not reusable?

"i want to no if ur joking"
Sort of... but the vehicle costs money, and it would be a waste not to be able to recover and re-use it.

next to anti tank missile like the javlin........ that thing probley costs penuts its just a tuffend up rc car with a efp on the back
hessy11 2 years ago
hessy11,
You never know when the Pentagon is involved.
The USMC bought the $7000 Growler (a cut-down M151 Jeep) for $1078000. EACH.
The the US Army said it would spend $4 Billion on the Stryker Program in 1999; it now costs $26B.
The USAF promised $80 Million for each F-22 Raptor; they now cost $350M.
The Navy ordered Virginia class SSNs for $1.8 Billion (Vs the $2B Seawolf), but the cost rose to $2.3B, and was only reduced to $2B.
They may as well have just bought all 29 planned Seawolfs.
