Database correction request (with sources)

Post by Demetrious »

The GPS-guided rockets for the MLARS have a surprisingly wide CEP: 80 meters. In testing, the GPS-guided weapon impacted only 2.1 meters from its target. Source:

The ATD culminated on February 11, 1999 with a GPS-aided flight test in which the missile again flew 49 km and impacted only 2.1 meters from the target center, a resounding success.

Obviously a single test from 1998 isn't a solid indicator of regular performance, but official sources seem hell-bent on staying cagey about it. However, various sources peg the M30 rocket's CEP at 5 to 10 meters, and the new M31 - which the vendor's own literature brags about as the "70km sniper rifle" and mentions how its great for avoiding collateral damage with precision strikes - is usually put in the 2 meter range:

Therefore I'd suggest (for the DB3000 database:)

#50 M30 GMLRS ER - (already has a 10 meter Land CEP, so this is fine.)
#2699 M30A1 GMLRS ER - set Land CEP to 2 meters.
#3136 M30A2 GMLRS ER [Alternative Warhead] - set Land CEP to 2 meters.

If anyone else has additional sources on this please chime in; Google hasn't been very forthcoming.

EDIT: Also, the TTPV Tomahawks don't seem to have weapon records yet.

I don't have any sources that I can provide, but there is a lot of anecdotal evidence to support a significant reduction of the CEP.
