DmitriKozlowsky Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 AIM-9M/X abiliity to lock onto ground and surface hot targets . I can get lock onto taxing aircraft. But 9M and 9X keep rejecting hot ground and surface targets. 1
Tank50us Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 The reason why is because the M and X are built specifically to ignore targets on the ground that aren't above a certain temps, as that could be scattered reflections from a low-flying aircraft. This enables the missile to have the 'look-down, shoot-down' capability against aircraft practically on the deck. All that being said... the AIM9 is worthless as an AGM anyway, given that there are mortar shells with more explosive filler than that thing.
Atom1285 Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 This already works, but it most a very hot thing like a fire.
