The Japanese got DASH to work, and it seems to have been a much more capable system regards payload weight and flexibility than Firescout. How is this progress? If we wanted a drone why did we not just buy DASH again While Gyrodyne was still in biddness and hire some JMSDF consultants?
That was me. Firescout has greater range but a QH-50 could probably carry tanks and in any event its leash is only as long as the radio signal can pass through the local ECM. These things are by definition going to be somewhat disposable so it doesn't make sense to gold plate them, especially with tech one finds sensitive. 112 isn't going to provide for much in the way of economies of scale.
At one time they were going to put a video camera on the dash to serve as a remote controlled observation platform. This brings back memories of serving as a TM aboard a Gearing class FRAM1 DD back in the mid-sixties.
100 per year - was that enough to keep up with their attrition rate?
ReplyDeleteWe didn't want to miss a bad McNamara idea redux, did we?

ReplyDeleteHearing the operative phrase is "not recommended for operations in a non-permissive, overland environment"...
