how does loal work if it doesn’t have datalink, wouldn’t seeker just lose track without any updates
LOAL without DL works on a simple bases. The missile is launched onto a predicted target path, and goes there. Once it gets close enough it enables it’s seeker and starts searching for the target.
I love Error 405

so it basically has iog
Yes it does.
Without datalink though, how would an aircraft launch an asraam at 50km, because most likely if the target even slightly deviates from the course at launch it would miss becuase no datalink. That’s why I think the rvv-md2 will be better from long range becuase it has datalink
- ASRAAM has a very long seeker detection range
- The IOG of ASRAAM has a very low drift speed and when a target isn’t manuvering it allows for very long range shots.
