Anyone has some good content on this topic? Been kinda curious about any sort of plataform of a MLRS that has been adapted for AA tasks.
AA MLRS

No. That’s retarded. Stop being retarded
Austin Thomas
Doesn't it imply a radar, a guidance system, missile modifications?

>get weaseled

You would have to design a completely new missile and fire control system, not to mention new radar assets.
Austin Young
You can adapt the vehicle platform for AA duty but the MLRS equipment would be tossed out. says the truth, the whole thing would require brand new systems integration that would probably give little benefit as a whole.
Juan Collins
The other posts are right, but your argument is essentially that all AA, not just some retarded MLRS-conversion but ALL AA, is outdated because it'll get weaseled? You're fucking retarded.
Alexander Sullivan
The easiest way would be to get another vehicle to serve as the actual target acquisition and shit and just use the modified MLRS as a launcher
or you could just make a purpose built launcher and shit that will do the job better
Jack Rodriguez
The Best you could do was make it into a launcher for AA missiles.
This would require you to build a new missile. New radar and fire control for said vehicle. like said
The Patriot missiles do this much better. And the Air Force does the patriots job most of the time.
Evan Richardson
I think the point user is making is that the purpose of an mlrs is fire density and that's completely pointless if your doing shoot and scoot with hostile air.
Jace Sanders
Same chassis; but instead of the launch box, put on a Radar / Command / Ammo / Machine Shop.

Why not just bring out the flak cannons?
Justin Bailey
MLRS do launch guided rockets and missiles.
Caleb Long

GTFO Chink. Learn to english.

I read years ago about Brazilians making a deal with the French to use the ASTROS platform to launch CAMM missiles. Never heard of it again.
Parker Lewis
This thread is full of people who don't know shit. HIMARS has had successful tests firing AMRAAM and there is interest in a 'common launcher'.
Brandon Garcia
For SHORAD, something new like MML is more likely--you want your arty to focus on arty tasks, which require them to be in different places than where you need SHORAD systems.
Aaron Nguyen
This same platform already launches cruise missiles.
Landon Ortiz
That's not how an AA network works.
