I’m thinking in terms of mils and meters and MTBF, A-sub-oh and those things.

With longer range comes a desire for improved pointing accuracy, measured in mils. (A mil is the angle subtended by one meter at on kilometer, about a milliradian.)

Russian short range artillery rockets are notoriously inaccurate, so worry about were you aimed the damned thing in the first place would imply improved accuracy.

Oh I see. Thanks for pointing it out.I can't give an opinion on the mean time between failures(MTBF).I would not be too confortable with any answer that I may give. I can only give general stats.

You may want to check on the SAGEM site, but I doubt that they would publish the technical data on the SIGMA. Even Wikipedia which is notorious of giving out technical data does not mention it.
