<r> This was probably referenced earlier, but the details didn't seem to mention the target missile was a DF-21 surrogate the U.S. made to test the ability of the SM-6 to intercept the maneuvering warhead.<br/>

<r> This might help illustrate some capabilities: It's a circa 1973 U.S. Air force video on how to use the F-111's terrain following systems, it does mention use below 100 feet.<br/>

<r> Well, for one when your going up against a force of well networked advanced systems, the use of ARM's isn't as threatening as it might first seem.<br/>

Thanks for the correction Rongor appreicate that.

<r> I think modeling any EW system is tough because it's all a really secretive side of warfare.<br/>

<r> This article might help answer how EW is done on a modern single seat aircraft. It lists the limitations of the EF-111 Raven compared to the EA-6 Prowler, and then shows the advancements to the EW suite on the EF-18G single seater.<br/>

<r> Oh I agree Dysta, it's always a cat and mouse game with Electronic warfare and such. That area for a SAM system is a mess of multiple nations military aircraft, commercial traffic, numerous fighting factions on the ground, it's just a pure nightmare to deal with no matter what side your on.<br ...

If it gets deployed, I'm just drooling over the telemetry and electronic data on it's emissions we're going to get from that thing operating in a war zone.
