Navy Performs Maximum Range Test of Boeing SLAM-ER
Andy Tompkins wrote:
http://i-newswire.com/pr21007.html [snip] The maximum-range test was from an altitude of 40,000 feet from a U.S. Navy F/A-18B more than 170 miles ( 150 nm ) from a mobile ship target. After being released, the SLAM-ER twice received updated target information, changed its course and directly hit the target. The SLAM-ER is the only weapon in the Navy's arsenal capable of hitting a moving target from standoff outside area defense ranges. [snip] Any info about how far & high the F/A-18B was from the target when the missile twice received updated target information from the launch aircraft? |
