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..

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 .
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.
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)?
