Mad_Shell Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) The DCS NASAMS site should have the capability to simultaneously launch several missiles at several targets (according to the manufacturer, with a complete battery including 12 launchers, all the 72 missiles can engage 72 targets simultaneously). I join a track, showing that a NASAMS site with 1 launcher engages 2 targets one after another, and not simultaneously.

Flappie Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 You put only one launcher in your mission. Here's a track with 4 of them: they do fire simultaneously at different targets.

Multiple_NASAMS_launchers.trk 117.81 kB · 0 downloads Sorry my 1st message wasn't clear, I put only 1 launcher because the problem is that a single launcher should be able to launch at several targets simultaneously, and putting only 1 launcher shows it's not the case in DCS.

Flappie Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 So they say, indeed.

Thx. It is logical after all that a launcher can engage several targets simultaneously, as they use active radar homing missiles. The command post can distribute targets to each missile, then it's fire and forget basically (with mi-course guidance updates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow KT Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 As this brochure is from 2019, are you sure all these things are not for the NASAM II ? 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we have in DCS is the NASAMS II. It uses the upgraded AN/MPQ64F1 radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Flappie, any news on the topic? NASAMS is way weaker than it should be without the multi target engagement capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Shell Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Bumping this issue, because it seems ED has changed some underlying code for SAMS: a limitation in DCS has always been that for any SAM, a launcher could only fire missiles at a single target. As a consequence, a SAM site could never engage more targets than its own number of launchers. This has changed with 2.9: the S-300 and Patriot sites are able to engage several targets with a single launcher. I checked the NASAMS and it is still unable to engage more than 1 target per launcher. Since it seems that the code now allows it, I bump this issue so ED can take a look again. It's very possible that other SAMs should see changes on that front too. On another note, the NASAMS is still missing its electro-optical tracker vehicle, allowing for passive engagements.
