Fallout Re: SP and SPAA Developments

Well, I'm putting this here so I can track it easier as it seems the Thread it's in seems to have been "hijacked" to a degree.

Increment 1 testing was completed just a short time ago and the first unit equipped was chosen to complete that and the OP-EVAL which was successful.

We will see these soon. The ref. is seriously "downplaying" M-SHORAD Increment 2 and we won't see it even if approved as FY 2024 which starts in 2 weeks for funding just still only for R&D.

We already have a decades long technology of being able to both jam radars and communications signals simply called "jamming".

We use them on in the air, sea and land. With a little research you will find that Russia has already started to equip their tanks with such systems they won't require a lot of power and they'll be compact. It'll only need to create a "bubble" around the tank similar to what APS does. With oscillators' that can scan the frequency band in a matter of milliseconds it'll do the nicely. Generally, the process is referred to as heterodyning.

Anyway, I need some sleep as work calls later today. My relief on Saturdays has informed me we "knock out" 7.5+ miles of walking in just over 6 hrs. (We just use our units to get from point A to B unlike the majority of others.) in our secure area.

No wonder I feel so "chipper".

Regards,
Pat
