Then we strapped a GPS on a bomb and declared it the greatest achievement in military history... I feel like we could be so much farther ahead in tech if the right programs were funded properly...
Yea although you need jam resistant GPS guidance not trash that Himars fires right now which throws accuracy to 20 m CEP when INS takes over. Fix it because software won't if the hardware is bad. And this isn't only problem with US missiles. Before you sent them to Ukraine Pentagon knew full well that Russia has lot of EW (electronic warfare) equipment to deploy and that is what is being used same with your M982 Excalibur GPS guided shells which get heavily effected by GPS jamming with noise. Anti jam techniques by software like frequency hopping, Direct Sequence, Time-Hopping Spread Spectrum, are not gonna fix the issues when the receiver is drowned in strong noise.
We could absolutely do something equivalent to this at least in maneuverability nowadays with hybrid jets on swiveling wings and rotors. Ideally propellers and/or jets depending on fuel efficiency/audio requirements, in an x formation with a missile like main body.

Sprint did have a nuclear warhead. It was tipped with a w66, a neutron bomb. I don't understand how you could get something that fundamental wrong about it.
Russian MIRV ballistic missile "Oreshnik", used without warheads in the Dnipro region of Ukraine in November. Putin called it an "operational test". What you're seeing are nuclear-capable vehicles falling from space.
Um... What is up with that pyramid at 3:09 and 3:44?? That thing looks f'ing HUGE! Like on par with the great pyramid at Giza (which we allegedly can't reproduce or whatever). Where is that thing located?

Water-powered engines offer satellite mobility. Somewhere out there in low Earth orbit, there should be a constellation of satellites on station to intercept threats, with motors powered by hydrogen generated by electrolysis.
@LoganWiseley The system has inherent weight reduction in it. This is from a 1997 NASA Technical Memorandum, #113157: Electrolysis Propulsion for Spacecraft Applications "Neither mechanical pumps nor pressurant gas are required to feed a water electrolysis rocket system, because electrolyzers are now able to electrochemically "pump" water decomposition products from ambient pressure up to pressures of at least 20 MPa. The absence of a pressurization system simplifies the propellant feed significantly and eliminates components that must have long-term compatibility with propellants. For deep space missions, water is significantly easier to contain than the hypergolic Earth storables, offering stability over a relatively wide temperature range. A final advantage of the water rocket is its dual mode potential. For relatively high thrust applications, the system can be used as a bipropellant engine. For low thrust levels and/or small impulse bit requirements, cold gas oxygen can be used alone."

So your idea of a rapid response intercept vehicle has to sit there and slowly refine it's fuel any time it wants to move, meaning it's wasting precious seconds building up hydrogen while the missile are flying. I wonder why they haven't hired you yet
There are some videos around, the ones shown here usually, and they're quite loud. Repetitive and patterned jet popping and hissing noises that change depending on what it's doing. As you would expect of a hovering machine that uses tiny rockets all over for constant readjustment.

Basically politics and money. The worry was that if one side has a near perfect (Or good enough) ABM system then a first strike is more likely. Either due to one side having confidence in their missile defences or the other side hitting as hard as it can before the missile defences block everything.

The Arrow 3 KV with a large,. single booster on a gimbaled hinge is better, larger divert capability, with an IR/UV seeker head that's also on a hinged seeker so it can do a proportional navigation with its seeker pointed in one direction towards the target, with the booster pointing the KV to the intercept point. Also a better look-shoot-look capability with the Arrow 3 KV design using a single thrust vectored boost rocket with all the rocket power put into that single point, which makes it both faster, and also it can divert much more radically in direction. It allows you to also launch at an earlier stage than you can for GMD or SM-3 where you need to wait until you have exquisite tracking data th-cam.com/video/pCWMp3vCwZI/w-d-xo.html But yes, generally you will need to pack a dozen or two dozen KVs into a single rocket to make it in any way seriously effective in a warfighting environment. The fact they have these massive $50 million rockets carrying a single kill vehicle
Intelligent seeking blade drones wouldn't require this much stabilization, just turning and flying speed. That is, depending on if you wanna use them as bullets, burrowing bombs, trackers, or just flying needles.
Yeah they had to shut up about that before putting shell with shutter systems with static flow pipes and Ultrasonic pressure wave anti-drag tech with Ultrasonic echoes pulling water from atmosphere for power from heat flowing through ducts to convert to hydrogen to keep recharging for continuous flight. Battlefield LA movie drones = Primitive.. Internal engines can be hidden under armor and power that would normally blow away from craft with those things can be recycled for fuel+lift support.

Mmhmm..
2:30 Nuclear devices including weapons do not detonate when intercepted by any known means. You would have to detonate a fully functional device in near physical contact to have a percentage chance of sympathetic detonation. Don't spread fear of nuclear technology, it can be used safely, humanity is the problem!
The vehicle is not meant to cause an explosion(detonate), its a kinetic kill vehicle. You don't have to detonate a nuke to destroy it, you just slam an object into it at orbital speeds and let physics take its course.

The Arrow 3 KV with a large,. single booster on a gimbaled hinge is better, larger divert capability, with an IR/UV seeker head that's also on a hinged seeker so it can do a proportional navigation with its seeker pointed in one direction towards the target, with the booster pointing the KV to the intercept point. Also a better look-shoot-look capability with the Arrow 3 KV design using a single thrust vectored boost rocket with all the rocket power put into that single point, which makes it both faster, and also it can divert much more radically in direction. It allows you to also launch at an earlier stage than you can for GMD or SM-3 where you need to wait until you have exquisite tracking data

But yes, generally you will need to pack a dozen or two dozen KVs into a single rocket to make it in any way seriously effective in a warfighting environment. The fact they have these massive $50 million rockets carrying a single kill vehicle
I came here to see the MKV from Battlefield 4 that's on the Thumbnail
I got disappointed

. . . just need to be smaller and have little electronic minds and we can call them Knife Missiles.
Intelligent seeking blade drones wouldn't require this much stabilization, just turning and flying speed. That is, depending on if you wanna use them as bullets, burrowing bombs, trackers, or just flying needles.
oh yesss
This is REALLY disturbing 🫤
Yeah they had to shut up about that before putting shell with shutter systems with static flow pipes and Ultrasonic pressure wave anti-drag tech with Ultrasonic echoes pulling water from atmosphere for power from heat flowing through ducts to convert to hydrogen to keep recharging for continuous flight. Battlefield LA movie drones = Primitive.. Internal engines can be hidden under armor and power that would normally blow away from craft with those things can be recycled for fuel+lift support. Science: "Spiders fly with electricity!" *Points at Spiders then generates high powered electric field like a Parachute while flicking off Earths EM rejection field coming through the ground playing Rock&Roll music* Only good context for rejection other than someone is a.. Mmhmm..
Insya Allah...😊❤ If the god will
Are you sure this isn't a joke? This looks like something out of Sci-fi!
@@Desmaad Science fiction isn't so.
yeah might work if thettargets are not continuously maneuvering like latest gen ICBMs are.
maneuvering warheads have existed for many decades, the problem was solved with the sprint missile but it was too effective threatened mad doctrine.

2:30 Nuclear devices including weapons do not detonate when intercepted by any known means.
You would have to detonate a fully functional device in near physical contact to have a percentage chance of sympathetic detonation.
Don't spread fear of nuclear technology, it can be used safely, humanity is the problem!
The vehicle is not meant to cause an explosion(detonate), its a kinetic kill vehicle. You don't have to detonate a nuke to destroy it, you just slam an object into it at orbital speeds and let physics take its course.
@Make-Asylums-Great-Again You Sir, have failed the 1st sentence comprehension test.
@@kylegoldston I addressed your first sentence. I can’t help your comprehension problems. I blame your parents. 👌
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again okay got it, you don't understand the meanings of simple terms like " do not " and " any " .
BTW, my parents weren't the source of my knowledge, my knowledge predates the Internet itself!
It's U.F.O. Military technology.
Way to much video of this inside a building hovering and not enough about it actually protecting against inbound missle.
I am trained on that weapon 😑
chaina can imitate mkv too
M-M-M-M-MONSTERKILL!!!!
If only the great minds behind war put their heads toward non violent advancements in human technology.
This was back then too💀💀
I’m sorry but this program should’ve remained classified and top secret ! Why we and our allies continue to tell our enemies everything about our latest and greatest highly advanced weapons technology/ technologies is beyond me , but it’s moronic and stupid !
i can see Ukrainians stopping nukes with fpvs somehow 😂😅
Lol what it kills is spending taxpayers money on anything else
