August 20, 201213 yr From the video clip on the overhead shot, I would have expected to see a greater number of VLS cell - especially for a DD!
August 20, 201213 yr From the video clip on the overhead shot, I would have expected to see a greater number of VLS cell - especially for a DD! It really isn't a DD though, it is FF material. Type 45 are the DDs Type 26 are the FFs Type ## are the Corvettes, Mine sweepers, etc.
August 20, 201213 yr At least a Type 997 Artisan 3D radar (HF/SS, also navigation and surface targeting): http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-R...ed-Kingdom.html http://www.deagel.com/news/BAE-Systems-ART...n000004787.aspx http://www.baesystems.com/product/BAES_021...e%3Da0iw07j6c_4 24xForward VLS cells counted, probably for at least Sea Ceptor CAAMM(M) (probably 4xCell): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Anti-Air_Modular_Missile Unidentified forward CIWS. Forget it !!! I see after my half-research all the provisional details are in the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_26_frigate
August 21, 201213 yr Between the future weapons Perseus, to replace Harpoon, Exocet, Storm Shadow and perhaps Apache/Scalp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CVS401_Perseus The stealthy Perseus missile has a range of 300km reaching speeds of Mach 3. It is powered by a revolutionary ramjet motor, built around a highly compact Continuous Detonation Wave Engine (CDWE). The missile is 5 metres in length and weighs around 800kg, with a 200kg "main" warhead. In addition to the main warhead, Perseus is equipped with 2x 40-50kg inertially guided effectors from lateral bays which can be released before the missile hits its target. This unique feature allows Perseus to strike either a multitude of targets in the same area, or to strike a singular large target - such as a major warship - in several different areas at once for maximum destruction. "In this case, a linear attack pattern could be selected, munitions striking the forward, centre and aft sections simultaneously. If a unitary blast is required, then the effectors remain on board the parent missile to add their blast effect to the central warhead."
August 21, 201213 yr Between the future weapons Perseus, to replace Harpoon, Exocet, Storm Shadow and perhaps Apache/Scalp With the demise of the supersonic LRASM-A earlier this year, certainly looks a better ASCM option than the subsonic LRASM-B.
