Pretty impressive stuff. The combination of the derby and the Python 5 in the same vehicle is doubling your bets. I can see where the Python 5 would have trouble at night, it would then revert to a fancy heat seeker. A derby would have trouble with stealth aircraft. Between the two of them, there is not much that could get through.

I wonder if the acoustic sensors could pick up a steath aircraft very well. If so, the Python 5 and acoustic sensors could be a real problem for stealth type aircraft.

I don't think the Spyder needs to worry about 'real stealthy' aircraft for atleast 10 years!!!
