American navy announces already formally, the LCS of prospective U.S. Army is close to Hai Jian (Littoral Combat Ship) the NSM concealed body that with FFGX new-style frigate will deploy Norwegian development counters naval vessel missile, mean these two kinds of naval ships to will become a powerful warship that turn over naval vessel.
Naval attack missile (be called normally NSM) it is its beyond raid is hostile the new option of ship vessel. This one decision that announces recently promotes American navy the attack capability that army of surface naval ships turns over naval vessel remotely greatly. Before this, its basically equip " gaff " missile dash forward prevent the problem with poorer ability to had perplexed an U.S. Army a few years.
This is not Norwegian Kangsiboge any more (Kongsberg) win American naval order first. 1986, the penguin that navy turns and uses this firm turns over naval vessel missile to arm helicopter of eagle of its SH-60/MH-60 sea. Same missile also prevents unit and F-16 Zhan Sun with the missile a light boat at Norway, sea (F-16 Fighting Falcons) .
NSM counters naval vessel missile is Norwegian Kangsiboge in last centuries 90 time begin to develop, a when the end of the year finalized the design formally 2003 new-style missile that turn over naval vessel. This missile is large-scale technology of use artificial intelligence, be " the the Five Dynasties with exclusive whole world counters naval vessel missile " .
Since period of time, NSM and missile of the gaff that add Cheng (Extended-range Harpoon) reaching AGM-158C to counter naval vessel missile remotely is a competitor.
3 missile have sell a site very well: NSM is a kind small-sized and compact model missile, apply to small-sized naval ships; Missile of the gaff that add Cheng is most surface naval ships, the buildup of the RGM-84 missile that fires at present edition; LRASM has the longest range (more than 500 miles) , packing the biggest warhead (the warhead with a 1000 heavy pounds) . But final NSM wins out.
NSM missile has naval vessel to shoot at present, be shot for nothing and go shoot edition, because missile itself weight is light, cannon-shot is far, comfortable use at a variety of circumstances. Its are main advantage, according to saying it is the target identifying technology that this kind of missile uses, can reduce it to provide the requirement of relay control and guide to other airlines or naval ships.
NSM missile has concealed body property, device of navigation of use infrared ray will lay a target, range 185 kilometers, equip a 265 pounds weigh warhead. This system can blast off from surface naval ships not only, and missile gross weight is 770 pounds, enough light, can carry by helicopter of naval MH-60R Hai Ying.
Although cannon-shot is close,a of NSM of U.S. Army choice main reason is this missile, but missile fights function excel LRASM-ER and JASSM counter naval vessel missile two kinds. And NSM rate is rapid, the pneumatic design that its optimize can be in control and guide is final level, still can have action of large keep in reserve, can have roll for emergency use, is not the for emergency use of pure side direction that opposes naval vessel missile to undertake commonly, keep away from effectively thereby hostile the intercept that prevents prepare Chinese medicine by roasting it in a panbig gun and missile of dot air defence nearly, increase dash forward defend successful rate.
NSM missile still has a characteristic is " catenary of double passageway data " , this technology lets NSM missile can receive the data information that hair of ally of one's own side comes to in flight route, still can answer send the data that comes from missile message, rear personnel can intervene directly when need hold control missile, strengthened missile flexibility.
The contract value with current NSM is less than 18.5 million dollar, but as make battleship a light boat and prospective frigate also want to deploy this kind of missile littoral, this contract may raise nearly 850 million dollar.
Last year, the U.S. Army announces " battle-ax " missile improves project and LRASM missile to will fight at be being formed formally this year ability. American navy is shot for nothing, naval vessel is shot and go the ejaculation medium-sized, heavy-duty missile that turn over naval vessel ends, add those who continue to enlist in army " Haierfa " and " penguin " the light-duty missile that turn over naval vessel, and the U.S. Army counters naval vessel missile in the excellent velocity of sound that intensifies development, the U.S. Army fights in what turn over naval vessel missile to go up sequence is already certain.
