A possibly 10 odd year old Tv-Guided Bomb by DSO.

To some of you guys, this is not something new....

looks like a SLAM...Originally posted by foxtrout8:To some of you guys, this is not something new....

I hope they reveal what kind of weapon they had came up with recently...

You think they will show you meh?

TV-guided missile..sound slike old technology.I wouldn't be surprised that they will only exhibit tech that other countries have already invented.
-
Quite old technology lorz.

Look like a longer version of Maverick missile. Usually they take what is in the market and learn the technology and enhance on it.Originally posted by LazerLordz:TV-guided missile..sound slike old technology.I wouldn't be surprised that they will only exhibit tech that other countries have already invented. -
The americans developed their TV guided munition around the 80s which is the time when Singapore developed ours. So kind of looking back...., we are quite 'on' with this technology..Originally posted by deathscythe99:Quite old technology lorz. -
Wrong the technology was earlier in the 70's .Originally posted by foxtrout8:The americans developed their TV guided munition around the 80s which is the time when Singapore developed ours. So kind of looking back...., we are quite 'on' with this technology..
TV Maverick
The first Maverick was the television-guided AGM-65A, delivered to the U.S. Air Force in 1972. This was followed in 1975 by the AGM-65B with improved optics. Today the TV missiles are being upgraded with 480x480 array CCD cameras which triples the lock-on range of the current TV Maverick.
The TV Maverick carries an electro-optical seeker in its nose that produces a television-like image on a cockpit display. In operation, the pilot selects a target on the display, marks it with a set of crosshairs and launches the missile. The Maverick autonomously guides to the designated target. This enables the pilot to perform evasion maneuvers or attack a second target.
Imaging Infrared
Further development of Maverick has provided guidance systems that work day or night. An imaging infrared (IR) seeker guides the U.S. Air Force AGM-65D, G and the U.S. NavyÂ’s AGM-65F against the same target set including moving targets. The seeker forms a TV-like image on the cockpit display by sensing small differences in heat energy between that radiated by objects in view and in the background. -
what is tv-guided?
-
Actually i was referring to this...which is a closer class to the one we have.

Yes u are right. The munitions were not developed in the 80s, but to save me some face, those munitions experienced a leap in the 80s and soon lose it's status to laser guided and other types of smart munitions.Originally posted by storywolf:Wrong the technology was earlier in the 70's .

One thing to note here: u see after the primitive one Alpha model, the second version (an upgraded one from the first) which is also a TV-guided version comes 13 years after it in the 80s. So to be exact, TV-guided munition is still at it's primitive in the 70s.
and yes, there is also the walleye in the 60s. -
wad abt the AGM-142 popeyes? they're tv guided...do we have any of them (since they're israeli developed)?
-
Yap, the Popeyes(HaveNaps) are tv guided munitions. However, the Popeyes are missiles not bombs and thus very different from our local friend here.Originally posted by sgFish:wad abt the AGM-142 popeyes? they're tv guided...do we have any of them (since they're israeli developed)? -
Hey, I've read of an Australian who build a heat-seeking missile using a microwave & some other stuff. He even posted his plans on the net until it was discoverd & blocked by authorities. The best part is the guy was even a missile engineer or an engineer at all. He claimed that he was concern that terrorist could do it & wanted to prove that it can be done so he did it 1st.
