training to use a beam riding missile must be a bitch

[Wiromax3]

probably, but the enemy can't jam it though :D

@Wiromax3 you're right the system is almost unjammable.

@wepsone The auto-tracker tracks the target's IR signature, right? That means it CAN be jammed by flares and active IR jammers... unless you track it manually.

Brings back memories from my military service as a conscript seargent and head of one of these SAM units. The guys that received a few months simulator training got ridiculously skilled in shooting accurately with these laser guided missiles. We practiced using laser beam detectors attached to Viggen planes operated by the Air Force and also fired sharp missiles on towed "sausage targets" and not once did I see a missed target. No IR, no radar, no radio, it's all laser and 100% unjammable.

It's not that difficult the Army let's peole try the simulators at almost every public event they participate in.

Just keep the target in the crosshairs till it explodes.

It's not as portable as a stinger but it's much much harder to Jam.

The laser guidance also means it's only line of sight.

[MingThing]

Its un jammable, because theres nothing to jam.

Plus it has dual use capability against ground targets.

[cyberspy034]

would you happen to know how it tracks? via inferred, or some other way?

[wepsone]

New NG version has auto tracker. Operator just has to point in general direction of target and autotracker takes care of pointing the laser beam.
