The Strales is not a radar per se.

It is a radio guidance system. It sends commands by radio to the shell. The FCR still has to track the target.

The Strales might not be a radar per se but it doesn't mean a radar can't do the job the Strales does.

Yes, DART is SACLOS beam rider - which obviates a lot of what you've written since you've been assuming it works differently?


I am not sure if the article you quoted got Leonardo quoted correctly. Its not mentioned in the NA-30S brochure and the illustration on the brochure still shows the use of Strales.

The entire "sensor head" makes no mention of any kind of shell guidance.

Not sure exactly what you are referring to but I'll take a stab.
If you look at the STRALES/DART brochure, of course it'll just talk about STRALES guiding DART.
The NA-30S brochure I quoted from is slightly different from yours too, not that it makes a difference ...

Also, can I trouble you to go google it. The shell breakdown will indicate that the guidance computation bit is in the back half of the projectile. Per SACLOS guidance, it self-corrects based on where it sits within the beam. Check out the Youtube videos showing the DART riding a 3 beam (or is it 4 beam?) to the target

All I see here is the FCR, with the use of Ka band, is capable of generating the tracking data for the DART shells to be used accurately. Ka band itself is not used as a radio control signal to the shells.

"Radio control signal" as in a beam for the DART to ride on. Not as in sending instructions like a datalink.
