The first Aster was test-fired in December 1994 and was successfully developed over a number of years, achieving the first operational firing (of an Aster 15) from the French carrier Charles de Gaulle in October 2002. it would seem amis not to to develop an Aster 45 combining both aster and meteor technology. Sea Dart missiles on the launcher of Royal Navy Type 42 destroyer HMS Edinburgh in the lead up to the ship conducting the last ever firing of the long serving anti-aircraft weapon. For my sins I left T22s for one draft and went to a T42 ( never again!!) I think if Broadsword had been placed closer to the axis of threat, that the Coventry and the crew would not have been lost to two obsolescent fighter bombers carrying Iron bombs. The launcher was originally designed to placed on the aft end of a ship (as in HMS Bristol) but when sited on the short and more exposed foredeck of the Type 42s, suffered badly from to seawater ingress.

No weapon should be introduced into the British military unless it has undergone realistic and accurate combat testing including live fires of the actual missile to demonstrate that they actually work in a real-life combat situation. It’s a bit like the difference between an oval & a circle or a rectangle & a square. Some internal electronics from the Sea Wolf Block 2 missiles are also incorporated. On launch, the solid fuel booster burned for 2.5 seconds propelling the missile up to about Mach 2.5 before falling away. Newer AESA radars are less of an issue as they can be tuned to both short and long range targets at the same time.It is not always just about the missiles but tactics and how they are employed that are crucial.I think to label this incident “pure incompetence” is exceedingly unfair to those involved.If I recall correctly Coventry was attempting to take the incomong raid with Seadart when she suffered a failure in the system (Silo door microswitches?) (2) First lateral turnover thruster fires. The British Army is replacing its Rapier air defence missile with CAMM (known as Sky Sabre) while CAMM technology has been used to upgrade the Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile (ASRAAM) for the RAF.CAMM incorporates the tail fin control technology and rocket motor from ASRAMM. Is it still on the go slow or has someone else stepped up?I think the Spanish have already selected CAMM+ER for their next frigates, so its probably okThe Spanish are going for the Raytheon ESSM on F110.My bad, CAMMs wiki page clearly hasn’t been updated in a whileYou’d be surprised how often the opposite is the case……that the brochure numbers are theoretical best case figures, not comparable to actual real life use. HMS Edinburgh fires the last Sea Dart missile at the North Eastern Scottish range of Benbecula, April 13, 2012. This gives a cruise speed of over Mach2.5, and unlike many rocket-powered designs,the cruise engine burns for the entire flight, giving excellent terminal manoeuvrability at extreme range. ICBM warheads re enter the earth at Mach 15 and can be tracked by radars.Remember the low-high-low profile. Even nuclear subs. The GQM-163 Coyote is a supersonic sea-skimming (~30 feet) target drone. Remember 5 of that 13 were not to have 2087. The Sea Dart’s record after that continued to be a mixture of hits and misses. Seriously a Type 45 could have load out of 36 x Aster 30 and 48 x CAMM-ER’s. To date, Sea Dart retains a unique place in history as the only missile to take out another missile in action. It is capable of engaging targets out to at least 30 nautical miles (56 km) over a wide range of altitudes. The ASHM wouldnt have sunk the mighty mo….but it would have left a big hole and many dead. Also not sure how we deploy STRIKE etc.

At least, I do not think it will pay the cost of installing compact ExLS within large Mk.41, compared to use compact ExLS in stand alone.The mushroom farm is cheap. Capitán Jorge Osvaldo García successfully ejected but was not recovered. The Sea Dart’s record after that continued to be a mixture of hits and misses. The Dart handling and loading system was made fully auto so when it started firing the magazine started indexing until it emptied so no need for the Quaters CPO to manually index missiles to the load position.Hard to appreciate the full power and precision of Sea Viper when limited to just six ships!
