Details on KBP\'s Hermes missile system?
Does anyone have detailed info on the KBP's Hermes missile family? I'd like to model it with mobhack but cannot find enough details. Some technical data was released in 2004, but it was general at best.
For those totally unfamiliar with the system, Hermes-A has recently been added to KBP's site (http://www.shipunov.com/eng/atgw/hermesae.htm). |

Try a search with "germes" instead of Hermes, apparently that's the used Russian-English transcription, so you should find more data.
From what I could find, it is supposed to be an advanced follow-on to the various Shturm/Ataka/Vikhr systems. The missile looks two-stage, which may explain why they give it 15-20 km range in indirect fire (see ground launchers artwork). I heard about a BMP-3 version, and thought it was a tank hunter in the line of the MTLB-based Shturm, but apparently it isn't planned to be used direct-fire. As for the guidance system, I have no reference data nearby, but from the top of my head I'd tend for a F&F IR imager plus laserbeam MITL correction, but it may be far simpler, like a laser designation. |

Thanks, Googling shows "Germes" indeed working better.
