Navy Already Looking For Alternatives To Its Brand New AARGM-ER Radar Busting Missile
The Navy is pushing to finally field the AGM-88G AARGM-ER after years of delays, but is also now looking at other options. The post Navy Already Looking For Alternatives To Its Brand New AARGM-ER Radar Busting Missile appeared first on TWZ .
Despite recent fielding of the AARGM-ER, rapid advancements in countermeasures and electronic warfare necessitate a continuous search for more resilient anti-radiation solutions.
This indicates a critical and ongoing arms race in electronic warfare, where offensive capabilities constantly need to evolve to counter defensive systems, impacting future military procurements and strategy.
The focus is shifting from a 'set it and forget it' approach to missile development towards continuous research and adaptation, highlighting the dynamic nature of modern defence technology.
- · Defence R&D firms
- · Electronic warfare specialists
- · Agile defence contractors
- · Developers of static counter-measures
- · Legacy defence contractors
The Navy will likely initiate new R&D programs or competitions for advanced anti-radiation missile technologies.
This could lead to a diversification of anti-radiation missile inventories, reducing reliance on a single system.
Increased investment in this area may accelerate the development of entirely new paradigms for suppressing enemy air defences, potentially impacting global power projection capabilities.
