    The Mark 54 was co-developed by Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems and the U.S. Navy under the U.S. Navy's Lightweight Hybrid Torpedo program in response to perceived problems with the extant Mark 50 and Mark 46 torpedoes. The Mk 50, having been developed to counter very high performance nuclear submarines such as the Soviet Alfa class, was seen as too expensive to use against relatively slow conventional submarines. The older Mk 46, designed for open-ocean use, performed poorly in the littoral areas, where the Navy envisioned itself likely to operate in the future. The Mk 54 was created by combining the homing portion of the Mk 50 and the warhead and propulsion sections of the Mk 46, improved for better performance in shallow water, and with the addition of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology to further reduce costs. It shares much of the software and computer hardware of the Mk 48 ADCAP heavy torpedo, based around a custom PowerPC 603e microprocessor. The Mk 54 can be fired from surface ships via the Mark 32 surface vessel torpedo tubes or the vertical launch anti-submarine rocket (ASROC) systems, and also from most ASW aircraft, although they are slightly different lengths and weights. The P-8 Poseidon uses the High-Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapons Capability (HAAWC) GPS-guided parachute kit to drop torpedoes from high altitude. https://www.militaryaerospace.com/sensors/article/14281632/antisubmarine-warfare-asw-airborne-torpedo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_54_Lightweight_Torpedo

    The U.S. Navy is set to demonstrate the ability to fire an AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range, or AARGM-ER, from a ground-based launcher this year. The missile's manufacturer, Northrop Grumman, has been pitching surface-launch options for the weapon, and derivatives thereof, for years now. The Navy is also exploring adding the AGM-88G to the already expanding arsenal for the P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol plane. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/navy-to-test-ground-launched-version-of-new-radar-busting-missile https://news.northropgrumman.com/news/releases/northrop-grummans-advanced-anti-radiation-guided-missile-extended-range-completes-fourth-successful-missile-live-fire

    The JLENS is a Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System. They were testing them close to where I used to live. One broke loose one day and caused all kinds of Havoc in the area! They are in the official HC db!

    Tempest

    eeustice posted a record in Aircraft

    The BAE Systems Tempest is a proposed sixth-generation fighter aircraft that is under development in the United Kingdom for the Royal Air Force (RAF). The aircraft is intended to enter service from 2035, gradually replacing the Eurofighter Typhoon. It is being developed as part of the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) programme by a consortium known as Team Tempest, which includes the Ministry of Defence, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Leonardo, and MBDA UK. £2 billion is planned to be spent by the British government on the initial phase of the project up to 2025. https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2023/02/10/wallace-urges-italy-japan-to-stick-with-just-launched-fighter-project/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems_Tempest

    The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) is a weapon made by Boeing and the Saab Group, who modified Boeing's GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) with the addition of a rocket motor. Initial testing began in 2015. If supplied to Ukraine in 2023, this would mark the weapon's first export and use in combat. The weapon is launched from ground-based missile systems such as the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System and M142 HIMARS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Launched_Small_Diameter_Bomb

    I will be there!

    The other part of the issue is that the GE takes all ammo from one ship regardless of the ROF of the mount instead of doing to the next available mount/ship after the ROF was reached.

    Hwasong-12

    eeustice posted a record in Weapons

    Mobile intermediate-range ballistic missile developed by North Korea. The Hwasong-12 was first revealed to the international community in a military parade on 14 April 2017 celebrating the Day of the Sun which is the birthday anniversary of North Korea's founding President, Kim Il-sung. North Korea tested Hwasong-12 on 30 January 2022. Initial estimates suggest the Hwasong-12 would have a maximum range of between 3,700 km (2,300 mi) with a 650 kg (1,430 lb) payload. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwasong-12

    Attached are my 2 GE saved logs. It appears in the 2nd log file is when the patrols messages appear. ge.zip

    Attached is the last good saved game before air patrols became corrupt. Unit ID Test 1-39.0008.zip

    Guam's base ID id ACb I have added a copy of the GE log. ge.log
  20. eeustice
    Tracked down the file just before the first air patrol in Guam becomes corrupt. It doesn't repeat every time, but the event does happen. Launch GE Locate Guam on the map. Run the GE for 1 second. While GE is doing what the GE does change time to 0 When you get the message below open the formation editor on Guam and look for a Fighter Drone patrol This is the first corrupted patrol. You will not be able to delete the patrol in the Formation Editor, but you can still split from the base at this time. If you have any questions please let me know. Unit ID Test 1-41.0001.zip

    This is a question for CV32. He is the one who makes the entries into HCDB2
  22. eeustice
    I haven't got that far yet. I was busy trying to save my way word air patrols!
  23. eeustice
    I was finally able to do an AC split from the GE. It appears that some patrols left their areas of patrol bu many miles.
  24. eeustice
    It appears that the air patrol crashing is back. I have had 2 ASW patrols crash, and I am unable to delete air patrols in my TG's Attached is a save game with the air patrols that were not able to be deleted in TG AEC Air Patrols Crashing.zip

    The KSS-III submarine, also classified as the Dosan Ahn Changho-class submarines - is a series of diesel-electric attack submarines currently being built for the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN), jointly by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) and Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). The KSS-III is the final phase of the Korean Attack Submarine program, a three-phased program to build 27 attack submarines for the ROKN, between 1994–2029. The KSS-III initiative consists of the development of nine diesel-electric attack submarines, capable of firing submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM), to be built in three batches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KSS-III_submarine
