It's frankly impressive how they managed to fuck up something as simple as a SPAAG. Especially since it's not like this was their first time developing one.

That feeling when Sgt York failed that meant no gun based air defence for the US for the last 30 years.

The USA also doesn't use SPAAGs because a stand-off air-launched anti-tank missile can smoke you from outside gun range anyway.

>>35143066
The US military doesn't have any institutional memory of operating without either air superiority or total air dominance. It's an out of context problem for them to conceive of fighting under enemy skies. All of their operational planning presupposes at least parity.

Well unless aliens arrive your average carrier battle group has more 4th gen fighters than any military but Russia or China, which would have parity with the onboard planes of ~2-3 of our 10 carrier battle groups assuming their entire historic airwing is still flying and not cannibalized for spare parts/crashed/exceeded airframe hours to the point even chinks and slavs can't be forced into the cockpit

When you have the first and second largest airforce in the world and are replacing most of it with shiny 5th gen multiroles to supplement your uncontested air superiority fighters the idea of not having parity air power is difficult to entertain outside of dossies on complete outlandish shtf level events

>>35143066
It's moreso that the primary threat to the US Army in terms of air power has always been helos and low fliers. It's why after the DIVAD program got canned, the Army went overboard in the 80s and assigned a Stinger team to everything - including rear echelon units. VADS wasn't a bad system either, it just never fit the real role that they wanted.

Currently the US Army is pumping money into a truck mounted anti-drone unit armed with dual 50mms, that'll be interesting to see how it turns out. Then there's the project to put a railgun on a M109A7 and have it perform both artillery and anti-air duties. The latter interests me the most as it's fascinating to think that flak could be making a comeback just like we're seeing APHEBC tank rounds coming back.

So they major problem with the York was that it had high altitude radar that would pick up and lock on noise from the ground right?

>>35138619
Small drones used for observation or suicide attacks that missiles can't take out are a new and serious thread

>>35145235
No, it used a pulse doppler radar from the F-16, which relies on high target ground speed and high platform speed to differentiate targets from clutter.

>>35137210
You do know he's talking about Sgt. Alvin York right? Not either of the two shitty territories with the same name?

I dunno if anyone remembers the HVP project that started in the early 00's and immediately went classified. It resurfaced last year

https://news.usni.org/2016/07/18/pentagon-new-rounds-old-guns-change-paradigm-missile-defense-navy-army

http://csbaonline.org/research/publications/winning-the-salvo-competition-rebalancing-americas-air-and-missile-defenses

>The HVPs can theoretically fired from the Mk 45 at Mach 3 – faster than the speed of a conventional unguided round but slower than one from a railgun. The Army plans similar testing with its 155 mm M109A6 Paladin self-propelled howitzers with the HVP.

>“Capabilities in development would enable larger caliber guns to launch HVPs at air and missile threats over medium ranges (10–30 nautical miles),” read a May report on air and missiles from the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment (CSBA).

>The use of the powder guns as the first HVP platform changes the order of how the Pentagon originally thought of how the HVP and railgun programs would evolve.

and

>An Army Howitzer is now firing a 5,000-miles per hour, high-tech, electromagnetic Hyper Velocity Projectile, initially developed as a Navy weapon, an effort to fast-track increasing lethal and effective weapons to warzones and key strategic locations, Pentagon officials said.

>Overall, the Pentagon is accelerating developmental testing of its high-tech, long-range Electro-Magnetic Rail Gun by expanding the platforms from which it might fire and potentially postponing an upcoming at-sea demonstration of the weapon, Pentagon and Navy officials told Scout Warrior.

>While initially conceived of and developed for the Navy's emerging Rail Gun Weapon, the Pentagon and Army are now firing the Hyper Velocity Projectile from an Army Howitzer in order to potential harness near-term weapons ability, increase the scope, lethality and range ability to accelerate combat deployment of the lethal, high-speed round.
