The United States began the production of new anti-ship missiles

According to the portal navaltoday.com, The United States Air Force ordered the first batch of AGM-158C smart rockets from Lockheed Martin. As part of the first contract, Lockheed Martin will supply the US Air Force 23 AGM-158C LRASM missiles worth $ 86,5 million (the cost also includes maintenance). Carrying out the first order, the manufacturer will launch a small-scale assembly of new generation rockets. In the future, the US Air Force plans to increase the volume of purchases, which will reduce the cost of LRASM, reports "Warspot".

Massive-sized mock-up of a LRASM rocket under the wing of an F / A-18 fighter-bomber

The AGM-158C LRASM missile (Long Range Anti-Ship Missile - a long-range anti-ship missile) was developed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin by order of the US Department of Defense. Work on the creation of LRASM cruise missiles began in 2009, the first tests passed in 2013, and a year later some of the ships of the US Navy armed these missiles. Despite the fact that these ammunition is already in use fleet, officially they will go into service with the US Navy and Air Force only after 2018.

The AGM-158C are designed to replace Harpoon missiles that have been in service with the US Army since 1977. New missiles have a special shape and coating, reducing radar visibility, and are equipped with sensors that allow them to independently detect and identify targets in a given square, as well as “communicate” with other missiles, distributing targets among themselves. According to the technical description, the LRASM rocket carries a battle charge with a mass of 450 kg and can cover a distance of up to 930 km. AGM-158C is equipped with a Williams International F107-WR-105 turbofan engine, which provides it with a maneuverable flight at subsonic speed (the supersonic version of the rocket was also developed, but this project was rejected by the US Department of Defense).
It is planned that in the coming years LRASM missiles will become the standard armament of US Air Force aircraft and US Navy ships. New ammunition has already been tested for compatibility with the Mk.41 ship launcher, can be dropped from the B-1B Lancer bombers, and also launched from the F / A-18 and F-35 Lightning II fighters.

This is of course correct. The main thing here is to write her radio portrait. Well, our intelligence is not asleep, I think I managed to track the training starts and the active guidance mode on the final section of the trajectory. 950 km is a good range, stealth, small size, in general there is something to work on.

[xetai9977]

930 km is powerful! If they correspond to the declared data, naturally

[Lavrenti Pavlovich]

930 km is powerful, but the speed is subsonic, so you can shoot down.

Quote: Zubr

Well ... what's next?
We'll have to say "B" for you:
This is an extremely dangerous and technological anti-ship missiles, unified by media. Yes, it has a subsonic speed, but it is made using STELS technology, which reduces the range of its detection of the Far Eastern Military District radar. Launch range - 500 nautical miles. But Lockheed is ready, by reducing the warhead weight to 300 (285) kg, to double the launch start-up - to 1000M, and this is 1600km. This RCC does not need an external control center. It is launched into the area of ​​the NK using a digital noise-immune channel and 2-sided communication with the carrier and the satellite, which specifies the location of the target. If there are several missiles in the salvo, then they conduct a mutual exchange of information on targets, air defense zones of the target of the attack, air defense breakthrough scheme and attack of the designated target. When exiting due to the radio horizon, a powerful REP is used (counteraction is aimed!) The target is captured by the ARGS + OE GOS in the library of all-angle shooting of the NK target embedded in the brains of the RCC. There is no doubt that these * brains * carry more than one digital computer. Attack of the target goes on SMV.
The Yankees allocated $ 5,8bn to implement the program. They do not throw money down the drain.
RўRμRїRμSЂSЊ, what can be opposed.
1. Lazar burn brains in the input channel of the OLS;
2. To hammer the communication channel of the RCC carrier, by REP, although this is difficult due to the acute radiation pattern of the PAP.
3. Blind AES-r in the area of ​​our NK
4. Shoot down from the Shell-S;
5. Aerosol masking and IR traps ...
6. Initiate an explosive in a warhead with a directed EMR or a high-frequency current ...
Incidentally, in the article - an error: 454kg - the weight of the warhead, not the explosive. A * shell * warhead semi-armor-piercing type will weigh 200-250 kg. But the remaining 250kg BB (MS, TGA) coefficient = 2,5-2,7. So in terms of TNT it will turn out more than half a ton! In short, it will not seem enough.
In this way, the threat is extremely serious for our NK if we do not detect and destroy LRASM carriers in time.
And for this we need aviation, because F-35C submarine does not shoot down!
IMHO.

[Operator]

As the LRASM missile launcher is not at all a matter of word at all - in spite of all its stealth it will be detected by ship’s radars immediately at the moment of exit due to the radio horizon (at a distance of 40-50 km) and the SAM system will be shot down (the speed of this anti-ship missile is subsonic).

LRASM’s frail REP avionics against powerful naval radars is nothing.

Another thing is the use of LRASM against ground targets, most of which are not covered by object-based air defense, comparable to the capabilities of naval air defense systems. There, the missile in question can be very effective.

Therefore, it is necessary to stamp with more active defense means in the form of small-sized anti-aircraft missiles like the MNTK (each of which is several orders of magnitude cheaper than LRASM) and hammer a bolt on another overseas wunderwaffe.

it will be detected by ship’s radars immediately at the time of exit due to the radio horizon (at a distance of 40-50 km) and it is guaranteed to be shot down by air defense systems (the speed of a given turret is subsonic).

Speed ​​- high subsonic, approximately 0,8 M, i.e. 275 m / s.
The detection range of anti-ship missiles at a height of 5,0m with a radar altitude of -20m will be 20,6 km RCC approach time to board = 75 sec. Working time ZRS ??? --2,0 min Anything else you need? In the best case, we will have time to do 1 missile launch and work out the MZA / ZPRS. So, not everything is as simple as you write ...

[Operator]

Subsonic anti-ship missiles at the exit due to the radio horizon fly at an altitude of 15-25 meters above the water, so the range of their detection by ship radars is from 40 to 50 km - about three minutes of flight time. The response time of the shipboard air defense system is a multiple of this time.

Rocket flight at an altitude of 5 meters above the surface of the water raises a plume of water (under the influence of a jet stream of a turbojet engine), which unmasks the rocket.

Dear colleague! Your position is incorrect. I explain why (no offense)
D update = 4,12 * (cqrt H ц + cqrt H а) where in parentheses is the root square of the heights of the Target and Radar Antenna in meters. Then, with 20m target height and the same radar antenna height, we get D = 37 km. At a speed of 275m / s RCC, 134 seconds fly by.
In practice, taking into account all the influential quantities K = 2,2. Then, D = 19,8 km, the approach time is 72 seconds.
For low-altitude detection, various coefficients (K) are accepted:
- geometric = 3,57; - optical = 3,83; - radio (for SM and DM wave bands) - average 4,12 (from 3,92 to 4,34).
For long waves, K is calculated taking into account the Heaviside effect.
There is a nakaya book (unclassified) - N.I. Burov. "Low-altitude radar" - there all these issues are thoroughly investigated and described. If you are very interested you can read at your leisure. Good luck.

[Operator]

37000 meters of anti-ship missiles at a speed of 275 km / s flies in 134 seconds.

The reaction time of the Shtil-1 air defense system (analogous to the Buk) from the marching state is 10 seconds, the firing range is from 2500 to 50000 meters, the target height is from 5 to 15000 meters, the rate of fire is one shot in 2 seconds, the frigate’s ammunition is 36 missiles.

Subsonic LRASM has no chance.

[Sgray]

Remember school physics. The attenuation of the radiation density comes from the range of the _ squared_. Reducing the target range by half, you increase the density of the radio emission by four. Decreasing by 10 times - increase by 100.
At close distances (and the call due to the radio horizon is extremely close for modern radars) - stealth can be thrown out of calculations immediately, it is useless, you can’t deceive physics.
Such a stealth can be able to protect against early detection by AWACS and from long-range missiles with its active seeker. Against close range protection, it is completely useless. And LRASM is no more protected in the near radius than the ancient harpoon.

No, I don’t think so. And what prevents the attack from different angles? Can a missile go around a target on the other hand, or will the Black Sea automatically drop false targets and jammers?

Forgive the false goals, where will they come from? The jammer doesn’t hoot and knock down for a long time, plus the rap ship systems and square shooting with the expectation of a smart rocket is about nothing. And without external target designation, launches of such missiles only within the radio horizon are possible, which detects the carrier. In the union, it was not stupid people who made supersonic anti-ship missiles, and the principle of "flocks" on granite has long been realized.

Arly Burke in Middle-earth in the Izmir region will drift to the Sevastopol raid. - from Istanbul to Sevastopol 545 km in a straight line, from Izmir - less than 900 km.
E-2C Hokai, located in a standard patrol (300 km from an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean Sea, 100 km from Istanbul towards Sevastopol, will easily give target designation to almost the entire water area of ​​the World Cup. It’s possible to shoot down a Hornet, but it’s difficult to climb 350 km from its coast to the distance is 100 km from the Turkish — Turkish aviation is there, quite numerous, and in the event of war — it will also be unmeasured by the US, and poke one Su-30 regiment of our naval aviation there ...

Hornet (performed by the jammer should fly 70-90 km in conditions of lack of electronic warfare, closer to him (the air defense coverage is more than 100), Hokai is spotted from the ground (in Armovir ZGRLS) and no one will give him a ride, but he needs to to approach 70-90 km what to release RVV-DD. And for a second Hawk Aircraft AWACS (Skymaster radar can operate on surface targets at a distance of no more than 50 km!) its use is generally inexpedient in principle!

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Md
Well, let's start from the beginning. Hornet for jamming must fly to the target not at 70, but at 300 km - this is the flight range of I-TALD - an simulator of cruise missiles carrying including an EW container. This time. The second - ZGRLS - is a tidbit that will be knocked out at the very beginning of the conflict, which, generally speaking, is not too difficult since it is large and immobile. Thirdly, ZGRLS is not suitable for issuing TSU. Fourth, what is RVV-DD? SD I know DB - I know, DD - I don't know. Fifthly, to launch missiles from long range on AWACS means throwing rockets down the drain, because usually Hockey is hiding behind Groler, and he will be against it. And finally, the E-2C is equipped with AN / APS-139 which perfectly sees ships at 400-450 km

The main thing is that the AK-630 shells get to the explosives in the warhead of anti-ship missiles.

[Zubr]

Well, yes, but before the AK-630 shell or the ZRPK missile gets to it, they must be correctly oriented and guided. The Americans once bought our tactical missile X-31M (Target). So, they learned to shoot down small-sized missiles, and this rocket has the 2.5 M speed, as far as I know, they couldn’t shoot it down. The situation is different here, it is able to detect the radar field, go around it, enter from a convenient position, deliver powerful radio interference, and on the final section it includes the GOS, plus small-sized, inconspicuous, let's say the target is far from easy, there are seconds to the target.

[Sgray]

Invisibility at short distances with increasing density of the X-ray field when approaching the source in _ square_? Here it is not stealth that is needed, but magic invisibility.

[Don]

The US and Russia traditionally develop anti-ship missiles in different ways. Ours improve by increasing speed, and they - by reducing radar visibility. Both they and we have their pros and cons, so comparing these missiles with each other is not entirely correct.

In terms of the wunderwaffe, you're right, at a long distance from the ship, the KB will hide the radio horizon, and no stealth will help at the nearest one. At the same time, a mass volley is still needed to hit the target, for which this CD with its cost in dohrenalion is not suitable.

[JD1979]

For a long time they gave birth to a good rocket, but still gave birth. And now this will be our headache. The fact that it is subsonic is not scary. Any air defense can be overloaded with quantity. Especially a solitary target. By the way, we don’t have any planned URO ships and are not planning, and different projects of small corvettes have fewer missiles in the BK than these LRASMs carry the same B-1B. And most importantly, all planes can carry these missiles. We have only X-35 from the lungs, which even does not reach Harpoon, so we are in the light missiles of the RCC .... We won’t get far on heavy Onyxes and Granites.

[Ilya_Nsk]

how much is it? 23 pieces? And I can’t believe that this little thing is 900 km. will fly, while carrying 450 kg. explosives .. Direct magic, being in the approximate dimensions of the X-35, it flies six further ..

[shadow]

And where did you get the idea that no one would see her? An ordinary rocket is also hard to see. Yes, and say no. Then it was released in a limited edition. And the video is the video. Like the Americans on the moon, too, a movie flew. All videos have a roller. Americans say a lot of things, the point is from this. Empty words and no more. So, they wrote that they say we have something to show and that's it. In general, the rocket itself is hardly noticeable. And this crap with its inclined panels will reflect oh how much.

In general, there is an opinion that ZRAK is a flawed concept, that it is better to rocket separately, AU - separately (for example, “Dagger” and AK-630 with guidance sensors on the tower). In the 90m-91m years the fleet was tested and the results were unsatisfactory: for ZAK, the installation was heavy and less conductive, with an unsuccessful attempt to hit a low-flying target with a rocket (it took only 5 seconds at a range of 10 km), cannon fire was already belated and not ineffective. In addition, far-spaced barrel blocks increase dispersion, which increases the chances of RCC flying “between shells”).
An interesting concept is the Chinese ZAK "type 1130" :, 11 barrels in one block, 10000 rounds per minute, sensors on the installation.

subsonic speed, so you can shoot down.

It will not be easy, since it is inconspicuous and with a multispectral GOS. Perhaps with its own electronic warfare system. RCC is generally a small target, and the presence of stealth technologies will further reduce EPR. As a result, the self-defense system “sees” it twice or three times .. later, there will be little time for reaction. A warhead - 450kg, it doesn’t seem enough, even a single hit will reduce the combat effectiveness (and the ability to defend) of any ship.
