Could C-RAM, AMRAAM-ER, NASAMS Or IRIS-T SLS Beat Iskander Hypersonic Missiles? | DCS

We simulate to test whether US/EURO Centurion C-RAM, NASAMS-2, NASAMS-3 or IRIS-T SLS defence systems can defend against Russia's Hypersonic Ballistic Iskander missile launchers.

@Grim Reapers I saw an interesting question today and thought I would ask you guys. How would an Embraer Super Tuscano do against World War 2 fighters? I think it’s too light to do well against WW2 fighters but would probably be better in climb and turns while WW2 would do better in a dive. Just wondering.

CH is almost creating assets faster than GR can review them; keep up the pace! Great content, wonderful addition to the ecosystem.

CH, Your modern mods are the best and should be core in game, but could you create a proper, functioning WW2 mobile V-2 rocket launch system. THAT would be outstanding and well within your skill-set.

[pkwiththepros]

CH is an absolute GOD at coming out with these systems. This is all I could ever ask for and more. Really appreciate all the work he has done!!

[hipser]

remember when this JUST happened for the first time irl with a PAC3? I do...

[sirukin]

The crazy bit is public data is likely good enough for military planning purposes. The NASAMS 3 with the data link connected to an AWACS would be a killer combination.

[Rednax]

Surprised you didn't try saturation attacks by adding more incoming missiles until they got through.
I'd also like to see how all 4 systems combined would do (very well I think)

[keithcoleman]

To address the question at approximately 24:29, AMRAAM-AXE (Air-launched eXtended Envelope) is a Raytheon proposal for an air-launched version of AMRAAM-ER. Beyond said proposal, however, I have no knowledge regarding what level of interest, if any, has been expressed by potential customers in response or to what extent, if any, Raytheon has invested in development of the AXE concept.

[Rednax]

The UK system using Giraffe radar is Sky Sabre (land version of Sea Ceptor CAMM as fitted to Type 23 frigate). Hopefully CH will get round to modelling this too soon please 😊

[timbaskett]

Makes me wonder if they'll even make a surface launched version of the Meteor AAM, or the AIM-260. The building is full of the rarest commodity on the battlefield....clean socks!!!
Could you imagine a GAU-8/A mated to a CWIS radar network?

[numbersletters]

Well done guys, awesome new systems!! Thank you!!

[janmb]

A full NASAMS battalion would consist of plural FDCs, plural radars, and far more launchers as well. Part of the concept is to offset the relatively moderate effective range by having a more distributed and unpredictable deployment.

As for simultaneous engagements... Lets just say 4 is not exactly much of a challenge. You can easily add another digit to that.

[skayou]

The NASAMS data link antenna is for launcher- Missile data link. The Missile receives target updates by it from the FDC.

@Grim Reapers - Yes, I would say the NASAMS v3 would be just as accurate if not more in real life. Raytheon has been incorporating everything it knows about intercepting hypersonic missiles into its updated missiles and radar system platforms. NASAMS v3 had a lot of work and improvement done to its new radar system (i.e., the GhostEye MR) as well.

[brandonclark]

The Navy's Standards missile almost always had secondary Anti-Ship capability.

Edit: And I'll point out that the Standard was also adapted into an Air-Launched Anti-Radiation Missile back in the day.

[JD-sbss]

33:16 you didn’t miss 😮 if you play it back really slowly the iris t emerges out the back of the hypersonic you hit it head on!

Probably good to check the collision/damage model is working for both assets

[WhiteHatHxr]

Really loving this series on the new assets. Great mods by CH & great job on the videos by Cap!

[zachary]

Raytheon Did propose a air launched version of the AMRAAM-ER called the AMRAAM-AXE or air launched extended envelope.

[rickjames]

The American defense committee hearings tell us a lot. The US Aegis land systems are being worked for hypersonics but I believe they have mentioned the capability to intercept hypersonic missiles from Aegis equipped ships within the terminal phase and are upgrading space based sensors for tracking to get a lock at longer distances. So, yes, I believe the Americans already can intercept hypersonics. This is all public record so I wonder what they speak of in closed door meetings.

[jamison]

Thank you CH.

I like to think you're the nerdy geopolitical military hardware enthusiest version of me who knows how to code and build in-game assets. I'm simply the nerdy geopolitical military hardware enthusiest version who sends Cap the links with SM-6 missiles on the Hornets because I lack the ability to make neat things for DCS. There more of you (with particular emphasis on you) and me that are out there, the better GR is, and hopefully, the better/easier Cap's job ultimately is.
