The SDBI and SDBII are very manoeuvrable so they probably would be hard to intercept.

I think the SBD II has a mode for coordinating attacks against a static position, but outside of that I'm unaware of any manuevering capability. Minimally both are always subsonic, so their ability to dodge SAM fire is probably less than something that is just ballistic and fast.

All of those points do not back the claim that HIMARS, M270 and GMARS are not "closed architecture". If they were open architecture you'd be able to adapt the launchers to different missiles, adapt the launchers to receive guidance from multiple sources, and adapt your missile pods to work from different launchers. All of those points listed talk about how the equipment is currently being used, that's like saying Apple is open source because it's used worldwide, is made in huge quantities, and can be operated all over Europe...

Unless they want to make the claim that GMARS is open architecture because we can put it on any chassis you want! Which is really stretching what open architecture means in the sense of an MLRS system.

Just because something can be done, doesn't mean anyone wants to. As regards using guidance form other sources, IBCS facilitates that:

IBCS is the Catalyst Modernizing Polish Air Defense

**”IBCS will become the centerpiece of the Polish Air Defense Program.” – says Bill Lamb, International Director, Northrop Grumman, in an interview with Defence24.pl. The system is currently fielded under Phase I of the medium range air defense program WISLA, and in the pending order for WISLA...

The scenario involved the IBCS-integrated air defense system detecting the launch of a ballistic missile, determining its launch point and transmitting the coordinates to AFATDS, which was used to direct the fire of High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) launchers.

Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Information Update - Naval News

One of the greatest advantages of the U.S. Army's Precision Strike Missile PrSM is that it can hit moving land and maritime targets using a multi-mode seeker.

:D


I'm thinking the peak speed must be around Mach 5 or more to reach that range.

Defense Updates has put out a video about the PrSM being used to hit a moving target in the upcoming Valiant Shield 24 exercise:


The U.S. Army's new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) short-range ballistic missile has successfully been used against a moving target at sea for the first time as part of Valiant Shield 24.

On June 16, two PrSM missiles were launched during SINKEX from the Army's Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (AML) in Palau, Micronesia.

This marked the first time the PrSM and AML were deployed outside the United States, according to the Army. The systems were operated by the Army’s 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force (3MDTF) and the 1-181 Artillery Regiment of the Tennessee National Guard.

Valiant Shield 24, a multinational field training exercise held from June 7-18, took place in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, and the surrounding sea in the Mariana Island Range Complex. According to the U.S. Navy, the exercise focused on integrating interoperability in a multi-domain environment, with joint forces collaborating to detect, locate, track, and engage units at sea.

The target for the SINKEX maneuvers was the decommissioned Austin-class amphibious transport dock ex-USS Cleveland (LPD-7), positioned in the North Pacific Ocean about 75 km (45 miles) from the nearest land.
