DTS_Maton Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 how hard would it be to add smart munitions to dcs ca now like the copperhead artillery shell or the hydra missile? i was thinking if a target was being lasered either by an airborne unit or a ground unit the shells drop square would seriously decrease to real life error margins i think for the copperhead it was 5 meters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M712_Copperhead for the hydra less than 0.5 meters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Precision_Kill_Weapon_System#Specifications any idea,s?

RightStuff Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Interesting question, but really 'smart' weapons don't need passive target illumination: They'll find their targets by themselves. ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBU-97_Sensor_Fuzed_Weapon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMArt_155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTS_Maton Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 yes but i was trying to stay within the units available in DCS time period so they have the T90 which came in service in 1993 the copperhead was used in desert storm so that would be 1990-1991 2 years before the T90 ideally i would have all the goody,s the new GPS guided munitions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M982_Excalibur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM395_Precision_Guided_Mortar_Munition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1156_Precision_Guidance_Kit http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/long_range_precision_fires/ http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/perm/ http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/lgr/ http://www.baesystems.com/en-us/product/silver-bullet--precision-guidance-kit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galwran Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Heck I would be thankful for even regular artillery spotting and ordering fire missions from the binocular view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weta43 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 There is no time period, there is publically available information and the degree to which the SIM is improved. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
