One would think that this would be standard equipment these days.

Hm. I thought this was already included on the MV-22...I guess I was mistaken.

It’s a currently fielded system. If they can find a place to put them on the helo, it’s supposed to work quite well.

Which country will be the first one that develops missiles that home in on countermeasure lasers?

It’s on the AFSOC CV-22, but the Marines haven’t bought it for the MV-22. Things are changing rapidly though, and that priority may change.

This is the crap that the FAA wants installed on all domestic airliners. It isn’t even proven on military aircraft yet.

None of these “defensive measures” would be necessary, if we would simply not insert our forces into any area as “policemen” or “occupiers” - until AFTER the complete and total devastation of the enemy, his supporters, his families, his friends and his neighborhood/city’s infrastructure...
Think Dresden... Think Hiroshima and Nagasaki.....
Think Victory via the DEFEAT and TOTAL AND UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OF THE ENEMY..

What are Prowlers going to do for you in this situation?
Plus the Growler is going to fly it's first flight this summer

Come on, River Rat...I’ve seen your postings enough to know you understand this stuff better than that!
Regardless of what is going on in Iraq or Afghanistan, we need to be able to insert our stuff into hot zones no matter what. We won’t always be so lucky as to control the air and the ground all the time.

That sort of thing was just getting retrofitted to the C-17 fleet a year and a half ago. You’d expect helicopters to take a while longer.

huh? whether or not it is on the mv-22 has nothing to do with this article since it is just now starting to be deployed. this is talking about the still much more common legacy helicopters which will — theoretically — some day be replaced with the mv-22.
To: rlmorel
hmm remind me to read the article before the comments in the future... sorry
