Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

From what year is the LMM presentation?
Also it is nothing new, as LMM is verry simmialr build wise to Starburst, or at least its early version was. Current LMM is thiccer, longer, has bigger canards and deploy additional 4 fins in 1/3 of its lenght

So far from its first flight in 2019 (the version we have now first dates to around 2019)
Yes i know the missile started its life in 2011, im talking about the version integrated and launched from a stormer

That will be PID, right?

Not sure how H-Infinity works so i cant tell

I guess im going to say PID then

Seems Stormer HVM will be replaced in the British Army by a URO VAMTAC with Thales RapidRanger in the near future



Imagine it will be a similar setup to what’s used by Malaysia and Indonesia, but the fact it’s listed in Medium Protected Mobility suggests we might have it on VAMTAC ST5 rather than the lighter VAMTAC LTV

Is Tracked Rapier really that bad? By the way, reading about Stormer/Starstreak on the old forum is rather sad. It’s like I’m having déjà vu, the replies are similar to the new forum. Same problems for years.

Problems were here since its introduction, and well 7km saclos missile with radar thats rather meh. Also older versions of missile did not had proxy so have fun

The engagement zones for Rapier are okay not great though.

I wonder if we will get this
Supacat HMT ASRAAM


To sum it up, it is a IR Land Ceptor if it was using base CAMM (25km range) and had its own radar(or it is a data mast, as there are talks it also has Data link)

Dude, im on 1,5h of sleep, let me go

But here take some CAMM things, someone might need them



Also it seems that one of the blocks added data link to ASRAAM

I believe the Supacat is using standard air launched ASRAAM not any of the CAMM models.

So blocks 1-5, or block 6 that is nearly a CAMM (well, a CAMM is a evolved ASRAAM, but then a block 6 is closer to CAMM, aughhh). Depends as Block 6 does not have restrictions on export that US parts in previous blocks were setting, idk how it worked with export in that situation. If the restrictions still aplied the only block 6 could have been provided, if it was lifted then blocks 1-5 also could have been. Also what block added the datalink? Is it even there? On everything else they state it is there, but on ASRAAM its not mentioned, good luck doing 50km shots without it.

It can be fed data before launch
As i said the Block 6 uses parts from CAMM, so probably it

So that would mean UK exported Block 6 if it had data link, so it would use ASRAAM block 6, that would also go around the export restriction so it all makes sense, at least for me.

Upgrades from the CAMM project have been used to update the air-launched version of the ASRAAM.
