Some say that the thrust vectoring in the Mica consumes a lot of energy for long range shots, so I was wondering if the Mica’s thrust vectoring capabilities could be disabled by the pilot for long range shots, and enabled for short range off boresight shots…
Anyone got info about this?

the TVC guide vanes themselves imposes efficiency on the motor, simply for just being there.

I hope that feature is part of the software w/o the pilot pressing some buttons.

Keep in mind that the rocket will burn for a limited amount of time (something between 3 and 6 sec, I don’t know), then, for long range shots, the thrust vectoring should have no effect at all. 😎
