I would also worry that LM are planning to build them in the North-East. Which minister really thought that it'd be a good idea to give Hull residents access to space systems?
Possibly they have seeker options?
Yep, if Starhammer improves too much MBDA are going to have to get a point of difference to keep CAMM relevant. This might light a fire under CAMM-MR perhaps.
Perhaps, but they were spreading the word at DSEI about how cheap their seeker was, that they were on the right side of the cost equation for Shaheds even using a radar seeker. Every little helps but the all-weather capability would have been nice and they still need it for Starhammer.
Can Shaheds even fly in heavy weather? I assume if the seekers are IIR they work at night, but perhaps not at the super cheap end. If they can build both Sky and Star at a sufficient rate the cost of the radar seeker will come down, and in the scenarios they expect to use it there won't be much friendly stuff to distinguish between.
Not to be that guy, but do you have a source for that? You sound like it's a dual seeker head, but the radar doesn't really fit unless it's in the chin bulge?
You know most cars have a small X-band radar for the various self-driving systems, right? Either PESAs or AESAs. And they're cheap enough to install on motorcycles for the adaptive cruise control.
My problem is that we have two sets of marketing, one from DSEI and one from the announcement today.
