Okay guys:
How many of you think GMS firecontrol is
1) a product of the round (ie, the same launcher can fire GMS
enhanced and GMS superior since the intelligence is in the round -
goes with fire and forget I'd guess) therefore the launcher can be
universal
2) believe it is a product of the sights and sensors on the launcher,
so an enhanced launcher can't fire superior rounds (what is more, it
probably requires a specific enhanced rounds to work with its
sensors).
1 seems to leave open the idea of having one GMS system (GMS/L for
example) that can have varying missile qualities and varies the
firecontrol used against various targets (ie it can fire ground,
anti-air, and multi role rounds from the same launcher).
2 seems to be more like todays missiles where the launcher has a lot
of the detection gear.
I don't know which is suggested or required by the GZG universe.
Tom.
