microvax Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Since the F18c is going to be the go to high capability SEAD platform for quite some time I think it is important to include the capability of TALD/ITALD. While Tald is just a gliding decoy Itald is actually a powered drone which can fly a more convincing flight profile and has obviously longer range. The F18c can carry 3 of them on a TER on the outer wing station. The implementation basically would need a gliding/propelled platform with a configurable flight profile which turns up on a radar as a contact and gets treated by Radar SAM systems equally to a normal target. They were used in big numbers in 1991. here a pictue of them on a TER on a a7: Edited September 28, 2017 by microvax [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] *unexpected flight behaviour* Oh shiii*** ! What ? Why ? What is happening ?
