topol-m Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Successful First Flight for Lockheed Martin’s New HELLFIRE II Missile Design October 26th, 2009 - Lockheed Martin’s new multi-functional AGM-114R HELLFIRE II missile scored a direct hit during its first proof-of-principle (POP) flight test recently at Eglin Air Force Base, FL. The HELLFIRE II design, now entering the qualification phase, features a new multi-purpose warhead that enables a single missile to cover all of the target sets of the current laser-guided HELLFIRE II variants. The POP 1 flight test featured a lock-on-before-launch engagement of a stationary target board at 3.2 miles (5.1 km). The team used a ground-based laser designator to illuminate the target. The inert missile, which was ground-launched, was equipped with an enhanced telemetry package. In addition to proving out the new components and software, the flight also verified backward compatibility with HELLFIRE II platforms that cannot provide targeting information to the missile.

Wilde Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Yesterday an Ecuadorian air force helicopter crashed during an airshow in Quito, Ecuador. The pilot and his copilot were injured and nobody else was harmed. The vessel apparently was an Indian made Dhruv helicopter. http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=346253&CategoryId=14089
