How does Excalibur do on moving targets ?

How does Excalibur do on moving targets?

Indeed, not well. But then again, the high-value targets one might shoot at with a $70,000 round are typically not moving - command posts, ammo dumps, etc. The GPS-guided Excalibur only needs accurate grid coords, not some shlub with a laser designator with direct observation to paint the target and thereby paint himself as a target. But sure, spend 7 million rubles to hit one moving vehicle….

“How does Excalibur do on moving targets ?”

Poorly. But that is because the US gave up on trying to make Copperhead work. It was too difficult to use a laser designator at combat ranges. A fire and forget missile like Javelin was easier to use and safer.

That was besides the inherent problems of maneuvering a fast ballistic projectile in real time.

I doubt that the Russians have solved the problems in tracking moving ground targets, and of maneuvering ballistic projectiles.
