As the old saying goes: "Quantity has a quality of its own"... There's no doubt we need to develop operational hypersonic missiles. We should also buy more of the recently deployed LRASM anti ship missile which sports incredible capabilities, from the pioneering targeting solutions in a GPS denied environment to capability to plot it's own trajectory that can avoid anti missile systems. That being said, LRASM cost around 3 million $. Price of the next gen hypersonic missiles will probably be around 10 million a pop. So neither we nor our adversaries will have tens of thousands of these kind of missiles in our inventory. This is where the cheaper guided bombs or smaller missiles come into play. We can have, or quickly ramp up production and have it in a few months, 100 000 of these JDAMs. This is a great weapon system and a true game changer...

[@matchesburn]

Hypersonic missiles are so overrated and I'm getting tired of hearing of them like they're some silver bullet. Probably the most "successful" and well-documented hypersonic missile that is not still in development is the 3M22 Zircon. The surface-to-surface variant is the size of a friggen SCUD missile. It's expensive, ridiculously expensive, and can still be tracked and intercepted. Anything THAT big going THAT fast (when you're going that fast, just the thermal energy alone will show up on radar - the SR-71 could be seen from thermal/electromagnetic spectrum returns further away than the actual airframe itself in many cases), everyone is going to know what you just fired off. And a RIM-161/SM-3 can intercept it at ANY phase, terminal or launch or what have you. SM-2s could also chip in with defense and interception and of course the Phalanx gets a turn. Admittedly, I don't think the Phalanx is going to do anything in that case, but if a very dedicated CIWS operator got everything rolling on the ball with telemetry and everything in advance so the Phalanx didn't have to take time to react and you let the system open up at the very apex of its range... It still probably wouldn't do anything, but you never know. Seriously, hypersonics are a waste of resources. They are easily seen on radar, capable of being tracked and capable of being intercepted from a longer range due to them being at a higher altitude. Sea-skimmers are still superior when it comes to actual warfare. And there are supersonic sea-skimmers like the P-700... And if you're curious as to the issue there, look at the size of a Harpoon compared to a Granit. It's like comparing a surfboard or a motorcycle to a small bus. Takes more go-go-juice to go faster in thicker atmosphere. As for the idea that guided bombs hitting ships is revolutionary... It isn't? One of the first guided (MLOS, so "guided" is being used loosely in today's context) missiles, the Fritz X, was developed by the Germans in WW2 and used almost exclusively against ships. When LGBs came about and it was seen how good their accuracy could be, people proposed using them on ships. Hell, a LGB was even used to take out a helicopter in flight before. Plenty of instances of people thinking about it or using it. I don't know why Binkov was acting like this is some gamechanger. It isn't. JDAMs have had INS or other guidance systems that aren't just based on GPS co-ordnance for some time. Any pilot with them on their airframe could just select the target, a ship instead of a moving land vehicle this time, track it and just let it guide itself in.

[@hughmungus2760]

@@matchesburn the logic behind hypersonics is that you'll need to spend as much if not more money in interceptors to stop them and they kill you faster than your missiles can kill them so they have a chance of escaping.

[@matchesburn]

@@hughmungus2760 That's the point behind *_ANY_* missile interception. And given the fact that hypersonic missiles are much bigger, meaning you can carry and launch fewer of them and they can be tracked and targeted from further away due to their altitude range... Sea-skimmers are still optimal because they're smaller, detected later and you can carry more of them due to them not needing a gigantic fuel tank and engine. Hypersonic missiles for anti-ship roles just aren't that useful.

I'm ex Air Force and have seen the damage up close from 2,000 pounders... May seem simple but it is a game changer... The damage that weapon could do to a ship, let alone 4-5 coming in at once... Not much is going to be operable even if by some miracle it didn't sink...

[@mmeade9402]

The fact that it was missing its fuse in the press release could indicate that the seeker is actually just built into the fuse. Sort of like the PGK kits for artillery shells. Instead of a GPS guidance fuse, they could build one with a IR/CCD seeker, something like a AIM-9x, pre-programmed to glide into the area with the JDAM unit, and then in the terminal phase switch over to the seeker head with a list of potential hostile target types to be looking for in that area.

[@AirRider44]

Those 2k JDAMs could potentially be dropped from max range (15 mi) by the F-35 potentially on all but the most advanced ships, and even on some of the most advanced ships when stand-off jamming is in use. Not to mention sdb-ii, these little terrors can be dropped from 70 miles, well outside of a ships engagement envelope for an F-35, even without jamming, in very large numbers. A saturation attack combining decoys, LRASMs, JSM, Harm missiles, and SDBs followed by a couple 2k JDAMs for a cherry on top. I don’t see a ship surviving this.

I'd like to see comrade Binkov do a video on the U.S. Hammerhead sea mine. That thing could be used to absolutely shut down shipping anywhere they choose . Imagine a fully functional torpedo just sitting on the sea floor silently waiting to hear the sound of an enemy ship or submarine and when it does WHAM dead vessel.

[@RazorsharpLT]

That sounds VERY similar to another concept invented by the Germans, from WW2 no less It's called a magnetic mine, and it's really easy to counter. In the case of the hammerhead i think it's even easier with today's tech. Just get a small dummy boat that has a device that causes a lot of noise, or strap something that causes a lot of noise to a ship by wire.

[@ZbjetisGod]

@@RazorsharpLT Hammerhead is designed with a control module so specific launch criteria can be giving. It would take little work for the system to differentiate between Chinese subs and cheap decoys and perfectly replicating the signatures of your sub is incredibly difficult. I'm sure the US wouldn't mind China wasting money on decoy subs that cost way more than the weapon they are designed to counter.

[@RazorsharpLT]

@@ZbjetisGod ​ @ZbjetisGod Sure, and the magnetic mines also differentiate between a small tugboat and a large cruiser. Here's a question - what causes the most "sound" under water? Engines. Strap a hollow metal tube with an engine in similar scope and you have your decoy. That's a lot harder than a simple sound decoy, but it isn't THAT hard. If you can get that at the same price as the mine, which has technology to "differentiate" sound with a control module - you already negated all that R&D money the other folks invested

[@RazorsharpLT]

@@ZbjetisGod The Germans thought their own magnetic mine was unbeatable. And to tell you the truth it probably was, were it not for one bomb accidentally falling on the coast of England ripe for research And creating a countermeasure to that is probably a lot simpler than creating replica subs. I'm no physicist or weapons research expert, so my idea won't work. But there are plenty of other folks working in the field. The Germans thought "you can't remove the magnetic field that ships create" and the British invented deguassing.

[@forMacguyver]

Article in Forbes "Hammerhead consists of several modules. The mooring module keeps it tethered to the sea bed; the energy module provides power, and the sensing module is a sonar device to detect nearby vessels. Then there is the weapon element, a modified version of the veteran Mark 54 Lightweight homing torpedo. This is a 600-pound weapon with a range of at least six miles widely used by the U.S. Navy and others for anti-submarine operations. (Anti-ship torpedoes are several times larger). The 'Command, Control, Signal Processing and Decision Making module' will presumably be responsible for deciding whether or not to fire at a specific target. While autonomous weapons are an issue elsewhere, naval mines have always been effectively autonomous. Significantly, Hammerhead also has a communications module. This will likely be based on an acoustic modem, for communication with nearby submarines, sensors and possibly other Hammerheads. This will make it possible to activate or deactivate Hammerhead after it had been put in position."

[@profdc9501]

This seems like the vanguard of a scary new autonomous swarm technology. Autonomous, evasive loitering torpedoes and low-flying UAVs, mini cruise missiles, guided artillery shells. It may be the weapons with more clever programming that decide the battle before its even fought.

[@robbiejames1540]

Yeah, gotta say, I think one of the most powerful weapons these days could be some sort of torpedo mine, launched silently from a sub or from ships and planes, that just waits until the enemy ships are almost on top of them, then pursues and sinks them. Added benefit of not revealing a subs location.

The Australians and Koreans worked with Boeing to create a winged JDAM kit. It triples the range so now you're looking at 80+ km.

[@legatvsdecimvs3406]

That is against fixed targets with known coordinates at maximum altitude. This method requires a direct line of sight (radio command) data link to send course corrections and maintain constant radar or visual contact with a target. This would normally be done at short ranges of less than 20km.

[@JonMartinYXD]

@Drew Peacock kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp29h6mZmLp0l9k KZbin keeps blocking some of my replies.

[@JonMartinYXD]

@Drew Peacock No, or at least for not enough distance to be what we think of as sea skimming. The wings in these kits are very simple, they have no control surfaces. They pop out after release and allow the bomb to glide. Even if the JDAM tail fins could put it into a steep dive to pick up speed and then pull out to level, it would still be just gliding - travelling on a downward slope. Keep in mind that a normal JDAM has a subsonic terminal velocity even without the extra drag of the wing kit. The capability you are looking for requires a missile.

[@JonMartinYXD]

@Drew Peacock A JDAM? Nope. If they have a small RCS it is because they are relatively small compared to the aircraft that drop them. Their construction is not stealthy: basically steel cylinders with sharp metal fins, strakes, etc.

[@JonMartinYXD]

@Drew Peacock They already have such a thing, the JSOW A-1 and C: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-154_Joint_Standoff_Weapon The reason people keep finding new ways to use JDAMs is because they are, in modern military context, dirt cheap. They're just Mk 80 bombs with a guidance kit bolted on. The only way to make a Mk 80 stealthy is to completely encase it in a stealthy shell. Which is basically what the JSOW A-1 is: a stealthy glide body with a Mk 82 bomb inside it as the warhead.

I think many of the comments below are missing the point. The primary targets of these would not be the AESA equipped warships with integrated air warfare and long range sams. A large number of combatants, especially the likes of smaller patrol corvettes, mine sweepers, landing craft, missile boats, etc, would only have point defense IR missiles, gatling guns, if anything at all for air. Those would have near zero ability to threaten a high altitide targeting platform in the area. Not to mention the much larger merchant fleet in the case of total conflict. There is no way China or Russia, or another naval power would have anything close to the order of magnitude necessary number of aegis equivalent platforms to defend all those targets, no matter the size of their navy at that point.

Fill a transport plane(s) with small guided bombs, swamp the target ship, reduce it's ability to respond to bigger bombs. If I can think of a way to make it work, I'm sure someone in the test lab has also. It's easy to say "just shoot the plane down" or "just shoot the bombs themselves" but first you have to 'see' the attacking plane, then you need many thousands of rounds for quick firing guns to intercept all those bombs. No ship can carry enough ammunition to shoot down all those bombs. The battle then becomes one of numbers i.e. missiles and bullets verses hundreds (thousands?) of small bomb targets. But that would be just one attack of course. Reload the planes and just attack again, eventually any ship will be a sitting duck. This type of attack would be much cheaper than using a submarine to sink even one ship, and safer for the sub crew of course.

Yes, but what happens when we combine small guided munitions with unmanned multispectrum stealth combat aerial vehicles? Low cost small guided munition swarms, no pilots risked, low risk of drone loss with high probability of ship kill...what, what?! Oh, and useful against other high-risk targets too...like precision peppering of SAM sites along coasts, precision peppering tank formations, even precision peppering against troop formations.

@Drew Peacock IR signature from exhaust heated isn't as much of an issue. I have one design of many in which dispersed inlets and duct ways incorporate elements and dampeners which effectively turns the exhaust into a cold stream output on exit. So, it's less of an issue and more about effective and efficient design incorporated into the overall build of a mechanical system. It's expensive in low-no numbers but mass production easily would make that a non-issue. Airship, as in reference to like a zeppelin? I could see certain applications in such a thing but not because we are now in an age where speed to action is a universal necessity and designs must incorporate the ability to act and move on par with past designs or faster, otherwise not at all. However, if your airship reference is in regards to a mainstay to something incorporating a hub-feature. Then yeah, absolutely. And there's people like me out there that are incorporating elements of that into newer designs of aerial vehicles that will be akin to mobile carrier/asset platforms. I'm sure they'll have access to more advanced tech, R&D compartments to or be able to create necessary tech innovations to make such things viable.

[@AM-dc7pv]

@Drew Peacock As far as profiteering goes, yes and no. A nation/state's C&C structure would want the option and create that option to have it. The MIC profiting off of it is a complex issue because that's a question of allocation. If the nation/state's C&C structure wants it, it becomes more so a question of whether or not it'll be budgeted towards a small, large or national R&D/manufacturing apparatus. MIC is typically referenced to the large scale or large defense manufacturers and those typically try to steer projects to itself for gain, logically understandable. However, that's not necessarily the entirety of it as well. There's some things that just are going to be low ticket, can't be inflated, necessary, or of national necessity where large MIC interest can't or won't bother with. This is aside from things that are necessity that MIC will take up by itself to bring to market out of necessity or individual interests' personal reasons. My opinions, of course, so make of it what you will. Oh, an example of this would be the Camelbak hydration system or the original Magpul mag-pull concept.

i could see this as second wave attack after harpoons have depleted most of the navy grumbles, or It would be better to have glide bombs with the same guidance kits coming in while the harpoons are on route, get the timing right and everything gets there at the same time. I think you're right about the guidance being a modified GPS correction signal, could even offer change of target opportunities while on route. The command aircraft doesn't have to be the delivery platform , a B52 dropping hundreds of these while the ordnance is commanded by a drone swarm overhead may do the trick.

[@johnzehrbach820]

The JDAM can hit a moving target. The limit is how quick it maneuvers not the speed it is traveling. So a ship should not be a problem. A vehicle which can move across the landscape would be much more difficult but the blast radius comes into play. Around $25k for JDAM kit. Software mods are all that is required.

[@Azumazini]

Even cheaper now, the 22-25k cost was in 2007, a lot of the tech used in it now is cheaper thanks in part to miniaturization due to mobile devices. General Dynamics working with Boeing brought the cost down to around 9k per bomb kit upgrade in 2019.

Depends of low the aircraft is before it is detected and then filtered as a threat from other contacts and interference. You looking at about 15 miles or less if the aircraft is on the deck to straight up a thousand+ miles away if it's high altitude and your ops team is on it's game. A CIWS would run out of ammo pretty quickly and then run out engaging 200+ bombs from a F-15E. That is not a lot of rounds per bomb. Yes, the fighter's radar can guide the bombs directly with it's own phased array radar acting as a painter or remote guidance. Nothing stopping the bombs themselves having IR guidance either.

Well going off of the Phalanx CIWS, it has an ammunition capacity of 1,550 rounds, and fires at 4500rpm, which is 21 seconds of firing. Wikipedia also says it has a effective firing range of ~1500m, and I have to imagine the bombs are moving relatively fast. Looked up terminal velocity of a bomb, which apparently is ~335m/s, so that's around 5 seconds of accurate firing time, with perhaps dozens of bombs coming at you. So from my uneducated perspective, it isn't looking good for CIWS.

Theoretically Taiwan can use this tactic but it will also illicit a response from the mainland and their airstrips would be destroyed preventing them from landing in home base if ever they survive anti aircraft land based defenses basically making it a suicide mission. US and its allies can only use this tactic against targets close to its homeland or weak opponents with navies but with limited air defense capabilities.

JDAM's are basic "dumb" bombs of the Mk-80 series with field modified tail sections(with limited changes). GBU-53 SDB is a "purpose built" glide weapon like the JSOW, built from the start in a factory as a guided weapon.

They’d most likely still be targeting the ship directly. Stealth planes with a swarm of extended range JDAM would be very survivable and very potent.

[@MostlyPennyCat]

MBDA SPEAR 3, even though for now it's 4x the cost, would do well at this 2, better even. They can pursue a low-low type attack, they're fire and forget and will be able to swarm. One can pop up over the radar horizon to correct it's course, it's mmW radar can pick priority target points in the ship and assign targets. The F-35 can carry 8 internally. You'll eventually be able to use the Electronic Warfare variant to jam the defenders sensors. And at a range of 140km it's a pretty decent standoff weapon too.

[@Torric25]

IF you can use Loyal Wingman type drone to drop the bombs, and the manned craft to guide, you can also separate the range issue of the payloads from the spotter-tracker platform... use attributable drones to deliver the payload...F-35 is just the guidance platform

[@MostlyPennyCat]

Another upgrade for JDAM could be a solid fuel booster to enable a low-high-low attack. Launch under the radar horizon, JDAM pulls back and boosts up high and trades altitude for velocity during its terminal phase. Again adding a standoff capability. Because although it's not cost effective to target fancy JDAMs with expensive interceptors it very much is clear effective to hurl them at that 12-ship of F15s or FA18s coming at you while at a high altitude to give the JDAMs and chance of reaching the target Or maybe even tool up a small, cheap drone fleet with these fancy JDAMs? Drones with popout wings and 3 JDAMs each hanging off the F15s and 18s? Ones that can then fly back and land?
