‘Agile’
‘New and Improved’
‘Bleeding Edge’
You know - the sorts of phrases that if you were in a meeting with these people you’d be tempted to throw some fruit at them. Still in the tins.
Oh yes. ‘Forward Planning.’
I’M NOT PLANNING FOR STUFF I DID YESTERDAY AM I?
(Joking aside - if they cut out half the management lingo they’d singlehandedly reduce the cost of procurement. F-35 would probably cost something like £9.99 once you’d stripped away all the waffle…)

But without workshares, ‘British by Birth’, just like Boxer right ;)
Indeed, the news on reopening of the CAMM and ASRAAM lines is positive, and with the current air-warfare trends in stealth I suspect ASRAAM/MICA level missiles will be more and more useful. Very-long-range AAM’s will be for shooting down logistical and support aircraft. With shorter detection ranges against stealth aircraft a new missile with ASRAAM’s philosophy and a smaller form-factor for more numerous carriage might become exceedingly useful.
‘at pace’
a part of me becomes increasingly anarchist every time i read that phrase as well as lethal(ity).
It’s not even really more effort than ARM with the goats needed to be sacrificed to get the ARM to track something other than a friendly. In nuclear mode, spice also has a far lower interception rate.
I do wonder if, owing to the emergence of large long range drones as a weapon, they’ll give GCAP a cannon as a “cheap anti-drone weapon”.

i hope so
Either that, or develop a mini-ASRAAM type weapon that can be mounted in large quantity.

if it gets the option for external stations it could get APKWS II
that would be cool to see
That was kinda my thought, same kind of weapon, but internally mountable
If it has F-22 style side bays that are big enough it could pop out 7 round pods

Anyone know why sky sabre detonates if search radar is taken out, yet the launchers themselves have a sight view with thermals?

Because the launchers are unable to work independently

But the convention they outlined was if the thing could conduct actions against the foe without the search array it would not be taken out as soon as the search system’s gone? And this report seems to say that it meets the convention they’re wanting?
like i said
