I Love the antiquated concept of torpedo nets from a century ago. I seriously think there could be modern applications for it, if someone would bother with it. I don't see why the concept couldn't be expanded to an airborne platform as well, floated by drones, with high-tensile nets that are either high-explosive or discharge electrical current- hitting an incoming missile with our own missile leaves _zero_ margin for error, while deploying high tech nets gives at least _some_ margin. Plus, when our defensive missile misses, it's speeding out of the area, while loitering nets stretched between drones, would still be there, ready for follow-up salvos. I also don't see why we can't design loitering drones with CIWS, so that CIWS doesn't have to be a last-ditch defense.

[@beelzeboo]

This would’ve been so nice to have as a countermeasure in Battlefield 4

[@RM_VFX]

The jets already dominated the map in BF4 if you were any good. The only times I ever hit a jet with my launcher was when they were flying too low to deploy flares in time and I timed my shot perfectly, so I stopped carrying it. Even then, they could just eject, hit me with a sniper, and jump right back in. 😂

[@beelzeboo]

@@RM_VFX yes I remember the rendesniping servers. I still loved jet combat in that game and think the more weapons and deployable countermeasures the better. The F-35 can carry 6 missiles, and 2 laser guided bombs among 8 other built in weapon stations in real life

[@maciekkra539]

What you failed to mention is that the missile knows where it is at all times because it knows where it isn't

[@LordBuckhouse]

I’m sure many other aircraft in the USAF, whether it’s an F-35, C-17, F-18 or AWACS aircraft, already have this and other counter measures as well.

I know for a fact the F-16 uses it.

[@sosimple3585]

[@cyberdemon1702]

Yea no argument here on the absolutely criminal inefficiency getting this thing up to snuff. But the jury is still out on whether it’s ineffective or not. We wouldn’t know that until we were involved in a major conflict. It seems Israel’s F-35s are doing just fine currently. Either way, it is certainly a world class platform. Just how good it really is, if it’s “worth” the cost…time will tell. I’d rather have it than not have it, but that’s a low bar to clear given the circumstances.

@@elibnem4126 they serve different purposes. F-35s are more like generals on the field whereas F-22s are the tip of the spear. I suppose they could have spent a fortune giving the f-22 similar capabilities but I don’t know enough to know if it’s even feasible. Either way I’m a big F-22 fan as well!

A hail mary at best as most systems use multiple targeting systems in combination

[@americannobody27]

I was watching something recently about jets & missiles & I never knew that firing one could be so dangerous to the one firing it. It showed countless training videos of the missiles being released & because of the speed of the jet they stay with it & some come right back up into the plane, blowing it up. That's why they show them pulling up & away after firing one. They gotta get the hell away from it.

[@bh.rippleeffect]

Never thought of that, but physics wise, it makes sense.

[@trespire]

Look up the story of the YF-12, one of the Mach-3+ Oxcart planes. It was designed to be a Mach-3 interceptor and needed an air to air missile that could launch at high Mach. Not easy !

[@Eyesorecrymore]

Read somewhere most modern fighter jets don't have machine guns because they fly faster than bullets and would run into their own bullets.

[@Off-HandedBarrel]

​@@Eyesorecrymore Jets still have guns. You only deploy them at 'safe' maneuvering speeds. People that over-shoot their munitions are moving too fast to safely deploy them in the first place. They're usually used against ground targets as a last resort instead of dog fights. An F-15 squadron shot down a few slow missles with guns while flying CAP not too long ago.

[@ronj9091]

This technology is at least 10 - 20 years old. That decoy probably now has weapons on it itself to shoot back.

Most technology is a fairly simple concept really. Radar and guidance systems are really simple concepts. It's a matter of just having the correct materials to make it feasible.

[@JudeAtisele-sk2lr]

Truly insane technology. In a nutshell, one could compare the protective effects of the decoy system to that of a very loyal bodyguard who effectively throws himself into the line of fire, to prevent the bullet from hitting his master by taking the bullet himself. Interesting and innovative.

[@smokehouse2544]

Dan Hampton mentioned towed decoys in his book as a wild weasel and they were flying F16s

[@krystalmae5557]

That line better be tough as fck or strong as steel or else it will snap when the jet goes fast or does tight maneuvers

[@bh.rippleeffect]

They already know most of the stuff anyway without showing them anything. It's what they don't know that's the challenge. Think about it like this. There is very little that enemy computer technology experts don't know that our people who work in that field do. It's the nuances and edging out pieces that keep the weapon systems of nations ahead of their enemies and competitors. Just like a computer virus, attacks are essentially the same with small modifications. Once it is seen in action and understood, anti-virus applications are applied to address the evolutions of the old virus, but the main way the technologies act and respond is already there.
