Italy successfully tested false radio-electronic targets BriteCloud 218

F-16 and F-15 fighters will be able to effectively defend themselves against even the most advanced missiles. The Italian company Leonardo conducted a successful test of its false radio electronic targets BriteCloud 218 on American F-16 fighters, reports "Warspot" with reference to the defenseworld.net portal

Testing electronic bait BriteCloud 218 passed on the F-16 fighter Danish Air Force. The aircraft’s defense systems discovered that it was located on the sight of a surface-to-air missile guidance system. After that, a false target was released from the aircraft, and the missile guidance system “switched” to the BriteCloud 218.

Leonardo indicates that the BriteCloud 218 is the first false electronic target system that has been field tested. Due to its small size, the “lure” is compatible with standard launchers for false thermal targets and does not require modification of fighter systems. When separated from a BriteCloud aircraft, 218 begins to emit powerful radio signals, and the missile guidance systems are redirected to it.
Considering that the F-16 fighter jets use the same type of launchers for false targets as the F-15, as well as a number of other aircraft, Leonardo hopes to receive a large volume of orders for the BriteCloud 218.

    It is necessary from something to pull on these F-15, -16. Scan frequencies and wavelengths. Further specialists will finalize tongue

      At the training grounds, everyone is victorious, except for Ukraine, which even there manages to incur decent losses.

      B "Leonardo" are clearly not fools, since the company is booming. If they say that they have made progress in something, then most likely this is so. Denial and banter their products bullshit will not laughing laughing

        Such a banter is normal! Here R&D, manufacturing, testing, implementation, modernization ... Are you kidding me, right? recourse

    The missiles will receive artificial intelligence systems to distinguish between targets. A fighter flies at a certain speed, and it’s not difficult to distinguish such a target from a trap that simply falls to the ground. laughing

    Modern air-to-air missiles are equipped with a millimeter-wave AFAR that is aimed at the target’s contour with certain dimensions, so children's pranks with Italian “baits” will no longer work.

    Let Typhoons and Penguins drag their full-size mock-ups on a cable as bait - yes laughing

    I do not understand, explosives are guided by a beacon?

    Can modern air defense missiles be redirected from the right target to the unnecessary? Whoever clarifies? It seemed to me more for dusting the brains of the radar, so that the target would not be revealed ...

      From the description of our old P-77:
      "The missile control system includes an active radar homing head (ARGS) and an inertial navigation system with radio correction, which provides multichannel and allows for trajectory capture of targets and redirection of the missile in flight from one target to another."

        What would not get into the right one? did it on purpose?

          For example, in case of a capture failure or retargeting in case of destruction of the original target (2 missiles for 1 target)

      the rocket does not see anything, it has no eyes, it is induced by infrared radiation, radar, etc. It’s certainly possible to deceive GOS missiles. But it’s rather difficult to deceive the modern GOS. But against old missiles it may well be a ride.
