Except a Brimstone’s ATR algorithm isn’t even useful in an actual battlefield per the source I have attached above. The French would prefer their weapons to at least have some degree of precision, maybe the same cannot be said of the British? Perhaps they prefer their instruments to be as blunt as their industry obviously is?
Show me where it says that the AASM seeker can identify individual types of armoured vehicles.

Ukraine seems to rate it, they have used them to attack Russian SAMs from the sea and tanks/artilery/positions.
Brimstone 3 was seen as a real competitor to the US JAGM missile for AH-64E procurement. It’s cost per unit and availability/interoperability were the deciding factors likely some politicising in the background.
US AGM 179 JAGM uses Dual mode and MMW guidance they obviosuly felt as an AGM-114 and AGM 65 replacement these guidance systems are more than capable for todays battelfield.
This your goal post?

But its single mode on each weapon right? That’s pretty old thinking when the world has shifted to multimode seekers.
Brimstone DMS/2/3 (MMW+SAL+IOG)
SPEAR 3 (MMW+SAL+IOG+GPS)
GBU-53/B Storm breaker (IR+MMW+SAL+IOG+GPS)
AGM-179 JAGM (MMW+SAL+IOG)
Just off the top of my head.
Why have French industries not caught up to multimode seekers like the rest of the world?

Btw nicely showing of again u dont understand the english language and are constantly misinterpreting stuff.
Honestly might wanna stay with your native language sources. You clearly aren able to work with sources that u need to translate
It’s not like AASMs don’t all have IOG and GPS…
Besides, the only thing worth mentioning here is the Storm Breaker. It’s already been established how pathetic MMW ATR algorithms are and you are yet to refute that lol
Is there actually any proof it can track moving tanks then?

But they only have IR or SAL right?
SAL+IOG+GPS
or
IR+IOG+GPS
No combined seekers, you’d think since that tech is available in the USA and UK that the advanced French industries could easily solve this problem?

Only a IR + SAL seeker would be worthwhile hence why I stated Storm Breaker is the exception. There’s no point in having MMW + SAL if MMW is practically useless lmao
So you’re saying that French industry is behind on multimode seekers, given these weapons have been in-service in multiple nations for numerous years.
You’d think after all this time they wouldn’t need to carry two different types of the same weapon and they could just join everyone else in the multimode seeker future.

Yes JAGM Brimstone SPEAR 3 and Hellfire L all have a point MMW seeker

Before we continue with this banter. Do you think you could cut to the chase and actually disprove me?
I’m waiting… if you actually are able to, that is.

I think it’s your turn to answer a question, rather than ignoring it.

Yeah sure so here are the NATO definitions of terms;
So where in the word “identification” is used it is specific types of vehicle such as “T-72” or “MiG-29”
and per the Brimstone DMS brochure it does “identification”;
This is in contrast to Brimstone-1 which only has Classification of target;
Also this claim which comes later on from the Brimstone-1 presentation;
Where the ID type was upgraded to “Recognition”.
This not only demonstrates the seeker was improved with each version but also likely confirms your claims of poor identification which are likely linked to the original Brimstone-1 seeker and non of the improved versions.

Dud, the source obviously lies, the truck turns into T-72 tank. You call that accurate?
/s
So now we have that out of the way, back to French industry being far behind on multimode seekers, how do you square that circle? @Mulatu_Astatke

There’s a few others lying around but I see no point in sharing for nothing in return.
