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

Off the top of my head:
Spoiler
There’s a few others lying around but I see no point in sharing for nothing in return.
Seems that’s in disagreement with the modern primary claim the IR seeker is for large targets such as building. How are you dealing with that conflict with those two sources? Is the brochure wrong or that book?
Seems like a good timeline. IR version had troubles hitting moving targets, so they designer a laser version used for moving, tank sized targets, and designed a algorithm that changed IR to a pure anti facility usage.
Makes sense.

So it initially uses laser guidance to lock onto a target and then uses the MMW seeker to capture an image of the target to lock onto in Mode 3? Else, why does it hand over guidance to the MMW seeker at all?
Or does it use a 3D target model to lock onto a target from the outset? But then SAL guidance would be redundant then, so then why retain it?
Never hurts to have a backup for the backup
SAL+Laser is mode 2.

3 modes,
mode 3,
“identification”
I realise English isn’t your first language but the grammar here is clear.

I don’t what you think an ground/air missile launcher looks like… maybe this?
Looks like a vehicle. So I would say the sources are in agreement, just that SAL is preferred for fast moving targets.

How does it achieve target identification then?
Oh hey its the truck that was laying those pipes down the road last week
