RSM,
Accepting that would also force him to stare down the barrel of the cold, hard, fact that there is currently no nation on earth capable of reliably localising, identifying, tracking and attacking a CVSG that is trying to avoid detection.:eek:
Doesnt suprise me a bit. Ties in with the GLONASS focus as well. Before you commence any warfighting the basics MUST be in place. The basics being a knowledge of precisely where your platforms are and a knowledge of where the opposing forces are – Navigation and Surveillence!. Nice that, after so many decades, they have finally got the cart tied up behind the horse!.
HALE UAV’s like GlobalHawk have a collosal contribution to make to the field of ocean reconnaisance/marpat. The bigger HALE platforms with more onboard power generation lifting Searchwater 2000MR class multirole radars could be supremely useful for theatre search and, with SAR-spot modes, classification with impressive endurance and, unlike satellites, the ability to circle to maintain a position-of-interest!. Dont see whay you class them as stoopid??.
Could you possibly indicate a way for CVSG to avoid detection by SSN short of stopping engines and trying to submerge:rolleyes:
That’s exactly what Legenda was about. It’s not that many decades that it’s inoperational – ten to 15 years at most. Not surprising that Russians are trying to get one of their most valuable assets back into action.
Aren’t HALE UAVs much more vulnerable than satellites because of that?
