INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS, Aug 1, ... "Today, smart bomb technologies like DPSS and DAMASK, make getting the weapon on target cheaply a very easy thing to do."...
Imagine a sniper has a unzeroed weapon+sight (but only slightly) which he thought was zeroed. A close group off target doesn't kill the target. However if I were to use the weapon+sight there is every chance the target would be unlucky and get hit.
Imagine (I know its a stetch..) no GPS signal at all. We now drop four bombs on the bad guy each pass instead on one.
In the case of the JDAM if the aircraft INS is off by 30m then the bomb INS is off by 30m at release. If the JDAM CEP is say 10m I reckon that all the bombs will miss by ~20m. I guess this analysis is very naive.......... |
