Test de Sistema de guia desarrollado por General Dynamics:
General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems announces that it has successfully demonstrated the ability to maneuver and guide 81mm air-dropped mortars to a stationary ground target after release from an aircraft. These test results build on previous pre-programmed maneuver flight tests successfully conducted by General Dynamics in 2007, and use the company’s patented Roll Controlled Fixed Canard (RCFC) flight control and guidance system.
RCFC is an integrated fuze and guidance-and-flight control kit that uses GPS/INS navigation, and clips on by replacing current fuze hardware in existing mortars. Dropped from the air, it will land within 5-10 meters of the GPS coordinates it was programmed for.
Estimado señor Yarara, una consulta:
A pesar de que es lanzado desde un avion solo para probar el sistema de guia, en en el articulo mencionan la posibilidad de usarlos desde UAV (RQ-7 Shadow) como Micro-JDAM, para batir objetivos terrestres (Iraq Afghanistan), me suena a delirio, pero le consulto a Usted que es el experto.
Saludos
