.@DeptofDefense @johnkrempasky that doesn't sound right.... Different kill systems.. Shrapnel vs. kinetic boom
#SecDef breaking news: We’re modifying the SM-6 so that in addition to missile defense, it can also target enemy ships at sea.

@SeanOQuin high velocity shrapnel does horrific things to a modern warship. These aren't battleships; key radars and antennas are outside - View other replies

@johnkrempasky@SeanOQuin Is it possible to bring these inside or harden them? -
@nordasaur@SeanOQuin you can design a radar to degrade more gracefully.....lots of little elements that can be separately destroyed -
@nordasaur@SeanOQuin or add redundancy. -
@johnkrempasky@SeanOQuin Like AESA? Many small elements,hitting few wont break whole system. Maybe use multiple small arrays over one big?

About time we got around to saying that SM-6 should be used for strike. Besides antiship, how about land attack? .
