    Sounds like some quite advanced detection algorythms and a lot of computing power packed into a comparatively small missile.
    What impresses me most is the ability to identify a target by itself. I got a chance to get a demonstration of the new battlefield RADAR for the Bundeswehr
    Targets are only detected by their dopler-shift, imaging is not possible, target classification done is manualy by translating the dopler-shift into sound and the operator must decide wether the sound is characteristic for a wheeled vehicle, tracked vehicle, helicopter, etc.
    Ok ist works but it takes a skilled operator.

    Thank you very much for your answers.

    This mode of operation seemsto be rather ECM resistant, because only reacts to items in its database.

    Was Brimstone ever used in combat and if yes, how effective is it?
    :confused:
