Kimi_uy Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Hey everyone, Recently i saw some footage in youtube where the maverick seeker head footage is being shown while the missile is in flight. Should this be available to see in the cockpit of the A-10? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-uWMXy4Nnc&list=FLivaNEKPvSPlVef8v-xwzZQ&index=8 PS: Check DAT SOUND before the hit :smilewink: [sIGPIC]][/sIGPIC] Fuel Planning Tool | DCS: A-10C SADL MOD | Kimi's Arma 3 Mods | Twitch.tv
Maverick-X Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Looks like this is a set up test, with Cam near the target and so on. I guess the Mav is modified in order to evaluate the test. I don't know if the standard missile is able to send seeker footage
Kimi_uy Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 And it wouldn't serve any purpose neither, since you cannot "take control" like say the GBU-15. Worth asking though. [sIGPIC]][/sIGPIC] Fuel Planning Tool | DCS: A-10C SADL MOD | Kimi's Arma 3 Mods | Twitch.tv
Eddie Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 It's a test missile, with the warhead replaced with a telemetry pack. The operational missile cannot transmit seeker video other than via the physical cable connection to the aircraft.

Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
Eddie Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) In the case of most test variants of missiles yes, there isnt enough room for a live warhead and a telemetry pack. Goes for most AA and AS weapons, unless you start getting into larger weapons of course. Of course, I guess you're assuming that the seeker video and impact video in the quoted clip come from the same test shot. I'd suggest not, although it could be. I've seen bigger "bangs" from purely kinetic hits. Edited January 16, 2015 by Eddie

Kimi_uy Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 Alright, I believe that's settled, it is a telemetry packed maverick. [sIGPIC]][/sIGPIC] Fuel Planning Tool | DCS: A-10C SADL MOD | Kimi's Arma 3 Mods | Twitch.tv
NeilWillis Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 So can we have a telemetry pack warhead soon? Just kidding!
NRG-Vampire Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 So can we have a telemetry pack warhead soon? hopefully, would be great :thumbup:
Kimi_uy Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 hopefully, would be great :thumbup: It's already here!!! For it to work you have to: 1- make HUD SOI 2- press F6 short 3- voila! :lol: [sIGPIC]][/sIGPIC] Fuel Planning Tool | DCS: A-10C SADL MOD | Kimi's Arma 3 Mods | Twitch.tv

sapounas Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 If A-10C could just load a couple of AGM-130 (Mk-82 + rocked + datalink) that would be great. So to get it we just need to wait for 5+ years so that a F-15E module apears :) AGM-130 is the only one with datalink and you can see the video from the MFD after the launch and also steer the bomb where you want Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-130
