US Navy launches supersonic target competition

http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/08/03/215921/us-navy-launches-supersonic-target-competition.html

Am I the only one that thinks duplicating Sizzler’s functionality in all flight modes is a surefire way to waste a lot of money on the way to “it’s too expensive (surprise) we need to cancel yet another attempt”? Up to the point it releases the supersonic terminal section it’s a friggin’ cruise missile that could be simulated with a Tomahawk for God’s sake. The supersonic section could be simulated with a modified-for-low-level-launch ATACMs or PAC-2. For that matter there’s not much difference between the dart and Coyote as it is. :confused: :confused: :confused:
