“Don't let the adversary sleep at night”: the USA is proud of the new NSM anti-ship missiles

Late last week, General John Hayten, deputy chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, expressed concern about the "speed" with which "potential opponents" Russia and China are trying to overtake the United States as the world's leading military power.

Against this background, General Dynamics has revealed new details about the possibilities armory systems installed aboard the U.S. Navy's Independence-class littoral combat ships (LCS). In a recent press release cited by the Defense Blog, Stan Cordan boasted of the high potential of the NSM-designated sea-launched strike missile.

According to him, at the Griffin exercises held last October near Guam, the littoral ship USS Gabrielle Giffords showed what outstanding results “a small team of very talented people can achieve in a very short time”.

Commenting on the successful test launch of the rocket from the USS Gabrielle Giffords in October, US Navy Commander Rear Admiral Joey Tinch was proud that the Independence LCS with new weapons “gives potential opponents one more reason to stay awake at night”:

Let the adversary not sleep at night.

The NSM, developed by the Norwegian firm Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace, is a long-range anti-ship missile capable of striking targets from 185 to 555 km. It is currently deployed aboard the US Navy's Freedom and Independence class LCS. Raytheon has been commissioned to manufacture the missile for the US.

[Thrifty]

As I understand it, the rocket is subsonic, as always, stealth technology, and also low-flying! The Norwegians are great, they have created a good "headache"! However, in vain the Yankees sold this rocket, now the United States will be saliva with happiness for a long time! !!

[Abbot]

Presumably, it didn't work out to screw on their "harpoons" because of their large dimensions, so they took the Norwegian ones.

[voyaka uh]

It is subsonic, not very stealth, low flying. Cheap, relative to other anti-ship missiles.
The rocket itself is not new, but Lockheed supplied it with an intelligent seeker.
Its disadvantage is that it cannot be launched from vertical standard containers.
It has already begun to be mounted on LSC trimarans littoral ships, on which there were almost no offensive weapons.

And this is not surprising!

And where is the show, getting into the ship. A spectacular explosion (a ball on the floor of the sky), a drowning aircraft carrier, bombed aircraft. There is no such report I do not accept, immediately reshoot !!! And so that an explosion on the floor of the sky!

In fact, as follows from the article, a rocket, depending on the modification, can fly up to 500 km. But the main thing that delighted the US Navy is its accuracy. A missile can be guided not just into a ship - into a pre-selected part of the ship. The weapon is serious.

Where is all this, accuracy, a pre-selected part of the ship, where? It seems to me that something went wrong, so they did not show the end of the path of this rocket. After all, how they got confused with the launch video and the helicopter, and the photographers, as many as three pieces, and several cameras. And where is the finale !?

[tlauicol]

pay attention to the position of the targets and flight profiles of the missiles. neither onyx, nor mosquito, brahmos, caliber, dagger, volcano, yachont, etc. couldn’t hit a target under these conditions or fly along such a route

[letinant]

Are you familiar with the performance characteristics of the missiles you listed, what do you say so? In general, you read what you write, have assembled missiles of different generations and purposes, "dagger" here, which side? What is special about the flight of this rocket, the height, no, even the Mosquito is flying at that height above the sea, plus it is supersonic. On the X-35 "ball", that's what your favorite looks like. The only licked shape in an attempt to reduce the RCS, we will look. And the television head is not the best solution for such distances, the example of the X-59 and X-59m.

[tlauicol]

I mean, any supersonic missile under these conditions will crash in the first turn between the islands (strait, fjord). And at high altitude it will simply fly by without noticing a target under the shore.
And there are many such water areas where rbs15 or nsm are more useful than huge rockets: the Baltic, Aegean, Adriatic, Norwegian, Argentinean, Chilean coast, Indochina, the Indonesian archipelago, Japan, Korean skerries, etc. etc.

[letinant]

Show her the search sector, it will come from the side where it is less visible and the target will hit. You are not familiar with modern weapons, I suppose.

[tlauicol]

Quote: letinant

did you watch the video? it is least noticeable from the coast, because of the cape, etc. Under these conditions, the NSM not only managed to find targets, but also made a series of cool maneuvers - not a single supersonic can do this, and X35 is unlikely. If the ship will go / stand between the islands, in the fjord, strait, behind the dam - generally without a chance for supersonic

[letinant]

It is useless, I was led on a commercial. Come on.

[tlauicol]

even quickly merged. not even interesting

[tlauicol]

except minuses are arguments?
you probably do not know that "even the Mosquito stops actively maneuvering 9 km before the target And then a rocket on a patch near the side turned around

[letinant]

Where did such knowledge about the Mosquito come from? So I provided the shooting and saw it from the side. What do you rely on?
PS And what's the point of arguing with you if I knew who you were by profession maybe and began to prove to you. And so, empty.

[pmkemcity]

Why? It is positioned precisely as a stealth. Only subsonic and range for the ship version is small, up to 185 km.

Here is another. These ships, although they are called = BMZ ships, are actually quite seaworthy. With new weapons, the Americans expect to use them in archipelagos east of China, for example. Heavy Chinese destroyers with huge ballistic anti-ship missiles cannot be deployed there, but it’s easy to maneuver between the islands with such a freed, with a missile through the island it will cover the Chinese. In the straits, it is hardly noticeable for the radar, so the location of the launcher is not critical. Also expect to use these ships in the Persian Gulf. Speed ​​(over 40 knots), firepower (NSM, Hellfayer, Family Guy - what else is needed for the Iranian mosquito fleet?

[pmkemcity]

Can you imagine the sea-oceans? Once, as a child, I happened to get into a 5,5-point "storm" in the Inland Sea of ​​Japan on the Kamchatka Komsomolets. This is "Shikoku" for you, I will tell you it was ... Short wave. And pitching and rolling simultaneously for three days. The seven thousandth steamer tilted so that everyone (well, almost everything) lay. At least few ate.
There is room for everyone, including the "heavy Chinese destroyers." How "heavier" are they? What are their maneuvering parameters?

[shahor]

Quote: pmkemcity

How "heavier" are they? What are their maneuvering parameters?

Chinese destroyers have a displacement of about 10 tons. Like Burke. The Chinese themselves consider them ships of the ocean zone. Freedom and Independence each have 000 tons. The maximum speed is up to 3500 knots. Independents, by the way (45 units) are registered with the US Navy base in the Philippines. Where they came under their own power without problems and where they serve. Why are they hanging around the archipelagos in your opinion?

[pmkemcity]

Have you ever wondered what percentage of the time they can walk in such moves? Excitement of the sea, motor resources, fuel availability, hull strength. 1000 km of the South China Sea are 6000 hulls of the Chinese destroyer and 7500 hulls of the American. So who is easier to maneuver? You will draw on a piece of paper.

Quote: pmkemcity

000 km of the South China Sea

Why would they go to the South China Sea? That is, Burke and all sorts of other Ticanderogs. But here all sorts of islands, archipelagos that stretch east-southeast of China, is a different story. These islands have shelves with interesting content. There is Japan-Vietnam-South Korea and unresolved territorial disputes. It’s in these narrow archipelagos that littoral people will go. There is no need to rush there all the time at 45 knots. The service life of buildings in the ocean is set for them at 30 years. Modern shipbuilding technologies ...

Is there a Sea Fighter saga over?

As far as I know, nothing. As launched in 2008, that's all. This boat, in my amateurish opinion, has 2 shortcomings. This is the development of the United Kingdom (but what about import substitution in general) and displacement. 1600 tons - you can’t walk in the blue waters. And I wanted it then. I don’t know if he was carrying anything from air defense at all. And so, a 50 catch, very worthy of seaworthiness ... We would have been given PLO as a corvette, if given as humanitarian aid ... In general, the construction of the C fighter indicates that the appearance of the Independences and Friedoms was not accidental, US Navy was hatching the idea the construction of ships near the ocean (bad for them with the seas) zones with good seaworthiness. Built-and spat.

[pmkemcity]

The philosophy of these ships "a la Soviet Union" is to build and discard. Look at the entire American fleet - extremely practical ships with a huge resource that, even after decommissioning, hang out in reserve for decades or serve "young democracies".
I think that they will quickly put an end to both the "left" and the "right" deviations in the "party".

[shahor]

I agree with you in evaluating the US Navy ships. About to throw out, would argue. The host vein does not allow them. Judge for yourself. Built Zumwalt-it turned out ... so-so. Well, do not give up. They are testing new technologies (the same SPY-6), they are pushing rocket launchers, well, there should be at least some benefit for such money. The same is with littoral ships. The fleet spit for a long time - and continues to do so, trying to turn ... into candy. Well, something turns out, something doesn’t.

Once again I draw attention to the fact that at a launching rocket from a container there is an extremely small exhaust through smoke ... level the unmasking sign of launch. In the optical and thermal imaging ranges, fixing the start will be difficult.

[pmkemcity]

I meant the "boxes" on the deck.

[letinant]

And as for 185km. can you see the launch, even in smoke, even in the thermal imager? And at a shorter distance, it will glow like a Christmas tree.

[Vladimir_2U]

Flash launch is usually determined.

[bk316]

Do not confuse with SPRN?
And even by sound

[bk316]

In the optical and thermal imaging ranges, fixing the start will be difficult.

Are you kidding who now detects the launch of anti-ship missiles in optics SMOKE at over-the-horizon ranges? If only from the satellite ....
But this is the little coastal ship, the satellites do not follow them.

[Vladimir_2U]

Damn, the most ridiculous. Of course, I meant that on a flash, a missile launch is easier to detect than on smoke. BUT! For the purpose of launch not detect, and if intelligence is nearby? It seems like this :, commander, a flash of 180, maybe a missile launch, not for us. And the coordinates of the launch command. Of course, these are conditional negotiations, because the reconnaissance pilot will not chat with itself, but it can hang in the line of sight.

[bk316]

In fact, a rocket for LCS will do just fine, because it is fish and fish without fish.
You look at what kind of ship LCS displacement as the patrol of project 1135.
And there is no weapon to defend against anyone from the word at all 73 mm gun and all.
Any RTOs will shoot him without fear and a missile boat too.
Speed ​​of course hoo and autonomy and comfort.
Those. to catch pure drug couriers, but with a crew of 100 people and a length and price as a normal corvette. And there is a terrible suspicion, and if the drug lord puts on the boat anti-tank systems ....
So they decided to do at least something.

How will such a boat end up off the coast of the United States? And what, an American, seeing this laiba on the radar, will not be able to shoot it with a rocket? And a couple of missiles from a helicopter to the side of the MRK is a blessing? These "coastal" ships become toothy. They should not be underestimated.

[bk316]

And what, the American, seeing this live on the radar, will not be able to shoot it with a rocket?

I wrote that this rocket is needed LCS BECAUSE WITHOUT HER THIS SHIP NO ROCKETS. Is it clear now?

Is a pair of missiles from a helicopter to an MRK board good?

He only drags one And with a combat radius of sh-60 of 140 km, what are his chances of destroying caliber RTOs? One way flight? So the Americans are not accepted ....
I wish they read the specifications before writing

[shahor]

Quote: bk316

what are his chances of approaching caliber RTOs?

Again. MRK is a ship of the near sea zone. Black, Baltic Sea. Well, generally next to it. Amers have no closed seas. There is the ocean. Their ship is the near ocean zone. With appropriate seaworthiness. And at what distance will the RTOs detect the Independence? How will he reach the archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean to the southeast of China, where he can meet an American. And target designation for RTOs? Is Caliber an absolute weapon? What advantage does it give RTOs compared to NSM? I’m not at all sure that RTOs carry Caliber in the RCC variant. If it is near the shore, there are Ball-bastions. And in the open sea, 4,5 points, that's all. And Freedom is a trimaran. In general, it's all fantastic. Compare red and cold. Ships are different in purpose and in the tasks performed.

[bk316]

I’m not at all sure that RTOs carry Caliber in the RCC variant.

And the unspecified number of air-to-surface missiles of a different type. Turntables - 2, not one. Radar on the Independence Marine AFAR
Saab's Giraffe allows target designation over the entire NSM firing range. But you, as a connoisseur of TTX RTOs, tell me, how is target designation for firing an RTOs Caliber RCC? And how is the air defense of this schooner solved?

Of course, the rest of the planes and ships are equipped with something else, significantly superior in size to the NSM))))

[Vladimir_2U]

So what is it, now even because of other missiles do not sleep ?! Well, at least they do not fear Hellfires.

[Santa Fe]

They do not have a large PCR, and all the equipment is designed for Harpoons and Nsm, for the extreme LRASM. The volley of which is comparable to the cost of the destroyer

[Vladimir_2U]

That's right, the basis of the striking power of the U.S. Navy is aircraft carriers and, accordingly, air attack weapons.

Well, the very first battle with the Japanese Navy for the disputed islands will quickly sober up and force to change approaches

When a couple of expensive ships and hundreds of crew members die in 5 minutes, this method of warfare is unlikely to be acceptable.

It depends on what case
It happens that the warhead of the PCR does not explode, there is enough remaining fuel in the engine for a strong fire that destroys the ship, as in the case of Sheffield or Monsoon.

[Vladimir_2U]

There were enough finishes and aluminum alloys in the structures. In addition, Monsoon is just an RTO.

[Avior]

Yes, but I write that even without the warhead explosion the ships died

[Vladimir_2U]

Yes, but they also stayed afloat even during the explosion, the frigate "Stark" will not let you lie, and there was no aluminum in the structure.

[Avior]

True, but never combat ready
Finish after this - a matter of time
Americans generally practice at first an anti-aircraft missile attack due to the possibility of a strike in seconds, when hit, it loses combat readiness, and only then you can finish it off

True, but never combat ready

Exocet is twice as heavy as MNS.

Are you practicing? No, there is such a tactic, I do not argue, but in my opinion the only real example of such a tactic is the sinking of Georgian boats by our ships, I don’t remember which ones.

[Avior]

Operation Mantis, for example.
And other cases

[Vladimir_2U]

Well, now in my opinion, there are two real-life examples of this tactic. )))

PS In the article, the inaccuracy of the maximum anti-ship range is -185. 560 is the range of aviation with a profile of high-high-low flight. This missile for the F-35 is really dangerous.

[eklmn]

For the curious:
“The NSM is launched from a helicopter, F-35/22, or from a ship’s platform using a solid rocket accelerator that quickly accelerates the rocket to cruising speed. After a few seconds, the turbojet engine starts. NSM has a distance of just over one hundred nautical miles (180km).
“Unlike supersonic rockets such as the Russian Onyx P-800 capable of Mach 2,5, the NSM remains well below supersonic speeds. Kongsberg, according to an industry spokesperson surveyed at the 2013 DSEI in London, England, believes in "smart missiles, not fast missiles." This philosophy created a completely different rocket than existing designs. Instead of trying to overcome the enemy’s defenses with a quick missile, Kongsberg made his missile more difficult to detect - and therefore more difficult to destroy.
“The NSM was designed to be almost invisible - not entirely secretive, but Kongsberg made design decisions to reduce the missile’s radar signature. Other missile defense missiles, such as the American Harpoon and the French Exocet, are not secretive at all. The NSM flies low over the waves to stay away from enemy radars until the very last moment.
“Most missile defense systems on the global arms market use active radars to focus on their goals. Despite its effectiveness, such a radar signal transmission provides defenders with yet another means of detecting an incoming missile using electronic support equipment. NSM uses passive imaging infrared sensors that do not emit an identifiable signal.
“Passive countermeasures are not the only tools in the NSM toolkit. The missile is capable of maneuvering with high G in the terminal phase, which makes it difficult to predict its path. This is especially useful against melee weapon systems such as the Phalanx CIWS or the Chinese Type 730, which fire on predictable missile trajectories.
“The moment before the strike, the autonomous recognition of the missile target seeks the enemy target group for an accurate ship to the target. In addition, Naval Strike Missile has the ability to select a target hit point, that is, it can be programmed to strike a specific part of a specific enemy ship, for example, a bridge. The 150-kg warhead has a programmable detonator that detonates when in contact with an enemy ship or deep inside its ship.
“Rocket control or target change can be carried out both by the rocket itself and by the operator. Operators can change during the flight - launched by the ship / driven by the aircraft and vice versa. ”

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/see-missile-it-might-be-f-35s-favorite-weapon-92366

I did not dig deep. Maybe some last options have a different range

[viktor_ui]

“Rocket control or target change can be carried out both by the rocket itself and by the operator. Operators can change during the flight - launched by the ship / driven by the aircraft and vice versa. ” - any unit with the appropriate technical body kit can be used as a reference station for controlling a sim missile device with transmission to the next subscriber with a non-linear final plot for the opponent - it was very expensive in terms of flexibility.

This is their answer to the X35 actually.

In general, this is the most advanced and newest rocket in this class (light). She has it all. The only thing is that they did not screw up the breakthrough of the final section, after capturing the GOS on the accelerator in M ​​+++. But then, it would no longer be a light rocket (less than 1000 pounds).

In fact, the NSM anti-ship missile system is considered one of the best in its "class"! According to some parameters, it is inferior to the Harpoon anti-ship missile and the Kh-35U; but in the "aggregate" - she is "ahead" ... In any case, NATO military experts think so! However, I would like to note that the performance characteristics of the NSM anti-ship missiles are given for the "tenth" years of our time ... It can be assumed that a more advanced version of the NSM is currently being developed, just as one should not exclude the fact that the X- 35U ... Kh-35UE reaches a range of 260-300 km ... INS supplemented with GPS correction; active-passive radar seeker (installation of thermal imaging seeker is possible) .You can also read the following data: the missile received fundamentally new qualities: four points of route change, the ability to bend around islands, attack targets in narrowness, fjords and the coastal strip. In addition, in some cases, it is possible to cite as an example, as a "counterweight", an aviation tactical missile 59MK2 ...

A missile is like a missile, in my opinion it’s something like our X-35 / X-35U (with a smaller ESR apparently) and it is put just on a littoral ship (a ship of the coastal sea zone) as we have X-35 / 35U on corvettes pr.20380.

In the USA, the generals themselves seem to have lost their peace and sleep after setting up weapons in Russia with UKSK 3S14 ships with Caliber, Onyx and Zircon missiles.

NSM is never a competitor to Onyx or Zircon.

The NSM anti-ship missile can indeed be compared with the X-35 anti-ship missile ... but better with the Kh-35UE modification! The Kh-35UE is equipped with an INS with satellite correction, an active-passive radar seeker (ie, it is possible to aim in a passive mode ...), it is possible to install (at "request" ...) a thermal imaging seeker, measures have been taken to reduce the radar signature, one article stated that:the missile received fundamentally new qualities: four points of route change, the ability to bend around islands, attack targets in narrowness, fjords and the coastal strip. (although doubts arise here; because in other articles these qualities were not "advertised" ...)

No. It is this modification that the Japanese bought for their aircraft. Therefore, I say, a headache for the Pacific Fleet.
