"Indestructible Shield": The American Army has decided on a complex for protection against cruise missiles

The American army has decided on a complex for covering troops from cruise missiles, choosing the Enduring Shield anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense system.

The Pentagon has signed a contract with Dynetics to build pre-production samples of the Enduring Shield system. In total, under an agreement worth $ 247 million, the company is to build 16 launchers and 60 interceptor missiles for the military.

According to the plans of the military, mass production will be launched in 2023, before that the system will go through several more stages of testing to eliminate possible shortcomings. A total of 400 launchers are planned to be ordered.

Thus, the US military gave preference to the Enduring Shield air defense / missile defense system, which in recent tests was compared to the Israeli Iron Dome system used as a temporary solution to protect against cruise missiles. As previously reported, prior to this, attempts to create their own American air defense system based on the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles were unsuccessful.

As you know, the Enduring Shield system was developed as part of the Indirect Fires Protection Capability (IFPC) program based on the Multi-Mission Launcher (MML) launcher. According to the developers, they managed to eliminate the disadvantages of the MML, including overheating and the difficulty of recharging.

The installation is modular, relatively easy to handle and maintain, and is capable of operating in a 360-degree range, striking multiple targets simultaneously.

Multifunctional launcher (MULTI-MISSION LAUNCHER MML) very interesting system, launches hellfires, stingers, AIM-9, iron dome rockets, etc. Everything that fits into the container. Launch pods can be raised 90 degrees and launch missiles vertically overhead. Naturally, if the rocket itself can do so. The video shows the launch of a helfair, this rocket needs to be launched from a smaller angle.

As previously reported, prior to this, attempts to create their own American air defense system based on the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles were unsuccessful.

Everything is fine with these missiles as air defense, except for the price. These missiles are very expensive, if in the Air Force this is still justified, then for such complexes it is not. The task is precisely to create massive missiles, against cruise missiles and UAV swarms.
The AIM-120 is made by the Norwegian NASAMS, for example.

saw new Miniature Hit-to-Kill (MHTK) missiles on their news

The length of the MHTK is approximately 61cm and the diameter is less than 7cm. The interceptor weighs approximately 2.2kg at launch.

including suitable for launching from MML
that same "cheap" rocket, apparently

[Global rage]

Minatare Hit to Kill "MHTK" is a nasty little beast and has been ready for a long time. Former US Secretary of Defense Mattis purchased a couple hundred thousand.

[Krasnodar]

Interesting, what is the median price of the missile

[Maz]

All this is magical and wonderful, and now count the number of American bases requiring such a defense system and here it will not seem like a little money.

[Global rage]

AIM-120 is made by Raytheon, the radar is the US MPQ-64, the hard work was the Fire Distribution Center was created by Kongsberg, and it is good.
You premise on cheaper missiles is correct and they already designed 2 of them, and they have been sitting around for a few years. US programmed a much larger BMS (10 years of coding), much much larger.

[pomor23]

This is how the title of this article should sound: The American army has decided on the "Indestructible Shit" complex for protection against cruise missiles. )))

[Global rage]

Some guys in the desert thought that it would be a cool experiment to see if they could shoot a Mach. 682 drone out of the sky with a guided hypersonic artillery round. They succeeded. Sensor to shooter in under 15 seconds, and the radar put it right into the bread basket. BOOM! The real story is the IBCS.

I hear that there are rockets for aircraft, the most unified with the C300Вхх. But they are not bought, because we have different departments responsible for "land" and "air".

There was also a topic with thermal imagers for the ground forces (I do not remember why) their enterprises could not do, and they did not give the aviation technical specifications

Enduring translated as "persistent", "indestructible" will be - indestructible.
Can't the name be correctly translated? Doesn't ChSV allow you to use Google translator?

If you post an article with the title "Stalwart Shield" here, then such a banter will begin ...

Enduring - can also be translated as "durable", "hardy". That is, to preserve the true syntactic meaning, and not to carry a gag, attributing pathos to the name, which was not laid down in the original.
In fact, it's a no brainer that the error was a deliberate distortion in order to provoke the crowd to condemn the far-fetched "bombast" of the developers. Primitive manipulation of social reactions based on the emotional color of terms.
A visual example of social engineering.

Sorry, but you are wrong! And there is no need to roll a barrel on the translator.
For example (military term) - Operation "Enduring Freedom" - military operation "Enduring Freedom". Moreover, among the many options for translating this word, there is also "indestructible"

An unauthorized resource founded by a certain Andrei Pominov, who is clearly not a native English-speaking, whose competence in English-speaking linguistics is under natural doubt.
The translation "indestructible" was given by a certain Vanya.V, a translator from Canada, who is also not a native English speaker, with an unspecified education and an incomprehensible level of English proficiency.
And since the probability that Vanya.B is a professor of English and literature in a specialized institution tends to zero, then I will put on the version of the Oxford Dictionary as the true source for defining the syntax of the word enduring in English.

pay attention to the list of synonyms

Synonyms - words of one part of speech or phrases with full or partial coincidence of the value.
Many synonyms differ from each other at the same time lexical meaning and expressive coloration.
And if you go deeper, then despite the belonging to the same semantic field, these two words have a certain range of contradictions, and therefore are synonyms exclusively nominally.
There is even an unresolved issue called Lexical Disambiguation (WSD), stemming in part from the presence of such phenomena as the range of contradiction in some of the meanings, which we refer to as synonyms.
And it is the unresolved issues such as WSD that allow the possibility of linguistic manipulation of the context.

[Flooding]

Quote: And Us Rat

Enduring translates to "enduring", and "indestructible" will be - indestructible

for example, Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) translates to Operation Enduring Freedom.
it is not always possible, necessary, harmonious and permissible to translate EVERYTHING literally.

Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) translates to Operation Enduring Freedom

WHAT is translated by? Did the initiators of the operation call it that in Russian? Or are they the same translators?

ALL is permissible

Especially when they allowed themselves, despite the truth of the meaning. This is where the fine line in the media is crossed, where journalism turns into propaganda. Submit not the information itself, but the necessary interpretation of the submitter.

have you taken two words out of context as a demonstration of the potential for unfair propaganda?

Which exactly people, and a person, unlike a machine, knows how to make a deliberate, dosed inaccuracy.

Quote: Flood

Rather, to show how tightly it surrounds us from all sides, and that we must always think critically. Since there are too many people willing, to fill YOUR life with the meaning they need.

Quote: And Us Rat

even so, we usually ignore such inaccuracies if they are not of critical importance
it would be foolish to exchange your life for trifles that are not worth the effort
this is in relation to the specific case we are considering
but by and large I agree with you

[And Us Rat]

Quote: Flood

This is the main danger, in underestimating the little things. Little things create a narrative that affects the subconscious and thus imposes a worldview. Especially to those people who have delegated the thought process to someone (media, leaders, religions, etc.).

[FrankyStein]

To translate literally it is not correct.

[Cowbra]

Aramko. Multi-layered air defense / missile defense, including even two destroyers in the Gulf - with the vaunted Aegis - both attacks are 100% successful. Iraq - repeated attacks on again a multilayer missile defense - zero sense, even when Iran warned - we will gouge your base for such and such a number, take people away, we do not want extra corpses - the effectiveness is zero. It got to the point that the CIA headquarters and the embassy in Baghdad were smeared.
Well, about how Kim fired missiles over Japan, and all their missile defense systems with the latest TAADs and the fleet with the Aegis and other AWACS slapped their cheeks with their ears - let's drop them. A leaky Israeli dome was lightly zeroed out by water pipes.
Who did not understand, all of this is a "Strong Shield". In American - "INDURING Shit"
Military equipment in the USA - it is not for war, but for sale, do not confuse

It’s very stressful.
I had to save up these pipes for a year, and even then, they did not manage to start everything at once.
Again, the effectiveness of thousands of launches turned out to be more psychological. The real damage was caused by single missiles. Those. 0 whole, zero tenths of a percent.

[rocket757]

When it comes down to it, then ...

[sen]

As previously reported, prior to this, attempts to create their own American air defense system based on the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles were unsuccessful.

About the interceptors. Unclear. Here's from this source:
https://nplus1.ru/news/2021/09/27/dynetics

Raytheon and Rafael offered the army an American-made Iron Dome with a Tamir interceptor missile, and Dynetics offered the Indestructible Shield mobile ground-based system. It is an installation based on the universal MML with the AIM-9X Sidewinder interceptor ...

And from this:
https://www.ferra.ru/news/techlife/v-ssha-predstavili-nesokrushimyi-shit-dlya-zashity-ot-krylatykh-raket-05-06-2021.htm

It is not yet clear which interceptor is used in the Indestructible Shield. It is speculated that it could be an AIM-9X Sidewinder missile.

[Castro Ruiz]

Siderwinder will be a little expensive. A cheaper rocket is requested.

[voyaka uh]

The Americans have a different task than the Iron Dome.
J.C. - to protect cities.
And the Americans needed to defend troops and military bases.
They want a mobile and more versatile unit.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Something this Indestructible Shield strongly resembles the Iron Dome))).

Russia also needs such an air defense system to repel missile attacks, modular and so that different types of missiles can be used depending on the target.

[Jacket in stock]

Quote: Ratmir_Ryazan

modular and so that you can use different types of missiles, depending on the target.

A standard air defense division includes 3-4 launchers with 4 types of missiles with an intercept range of 80 to 400 km, long-range detection radars and long-range missile systems, plus 3-4 short-range air defense systems with 3 types of missiles with a range of 5 to 40 km and its own means of detection - radar and OELS, and missile guidance.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Will this standard division be able to repel a massive missile attack of hundreds of cruise missiles?

[Shket53]

Hello .. Why is this question? Well, I’ll answer you well ... neither the standard S-300 division nor the S-400 can intercept a hundred missiles (corny missiles will not be enough), although they will detect and escort. But the probably vaunted "Patriot" ... from this one, it is made in Omeriga. He beat seven in one fell swoop .... True, the Yemeni Houthis ... uh ... let's say a slightly different opinion about this "fancy" complex. Sincerely.

[Borisych]

It seems that American effective managers are better than our Serdyukov. The cash cut on the wooden body of the rotting dollar is deeper and more accurate. It remains to think on whom to test this device. I propose at the Saudis' oil depots, the experience was, it is necessary to repeat.
