HIMARS Precision Strike Missile How it Works

Correction/ Detail Explanation from Viewers Comments.

1) verdebusterAP (replied to a question) from Celestial Existence

How gps signals can be received when the missile travels at Mach 3 moreover the gps is inaccurate when the object is moving ?

Answer:
The missile use what's called inertial navigation system (INS) INS uses a combination of various factor to get the missile to target
GPS refines the targeting data so the missile is much more accurate
Thanks to advances in technology, INS is far far more accurate
Again also thanks to GPS-jammers, the US developed newer sensors to counter jamming
Example
Circular error probable (CEP) , basically how weapons accuracy is measured with out GPS is 200-300 meters
GPS can reduces CEP to about 10 meters or less
In case GPS is jammed, the newer sensors developed can achieve a CEP of 30-50 meters
Lastly, to use HIMARS missiles against a moving target, it would have to be a very high value target or asset
Its called predicted none line of sight
Basically , a forward observer provides the target course and speed
They take the target speed and combine with the missile speed which depends on how far the missile has to travel and come up with point of impact
Based on target speed of 40 mph , it will reach this point in 1 min 12 second
They designed that point and fire
The M30/31 have 200lbs warhead so it does not have to be direct hit
They don't use this method unless its absolutely necessary

2) " nichevo1 "
Let me try. How GPS signals can be received when the missile travels at Mach? 3? I do not know, but my telephone can accurately gauge me driving at 100 miles an hour. And that's with music streaming. High performance military systems and in particular those using the military GPS signal presumably have higher performance capabilities. I would think that the designers were aware that they would be dealing with entities traveling at high speeds. Do you assert a performance limitation of GPS in vehicles traveling at a certain speed?

You ask a second question about inaccurate GPS on a moving object. Either It's the same question as the first, or you mean that GMLRS doesn't have a seeker. Maybe they could put one of those in the nose of this thing where they have the extra space.

Meanwhile, aside from volley fire by dead reckoning, which I believe our host states is current practice, if you have somebody steadily designating it, I don't know, but it might be able to receive GPS updates in flight. That would be interesting to note in a later update.

Anyway, that was never in its brief. But we love to stick more gadgets on everything so I'm sure the D variant will have a trimode unit for another mil ;-)

Third verse, same as the first. Military signal is more jam-resistant, military hardware is more jam-resistant.


3)" Joshua Thomas "

As a former 13M (multiple launch rocket system operator) The m270A1 is much faster over ruff terrain than the m1083 truck that himars is based on. it accelerates faster as well because 1083 trucks have very bad acceleration. Tracks over any other surface besides paved roads are aloso superior.


4)" Hypersonic Hobo "

(Well explained regarding the efficiency between HIMARS vs M270A)

At the ranges HIMARS plays at you almost never need to leave the road unless there are just no roads, so functionally it will almost always be faster than the M270 in a European theater.

What it loses in a rocket pod it gains in mobility, far easier maintainability (wheels beat tracks on maintenance every day of the week) and fuel consumption. These aren't the sexy aspects of warfare but an army marches on it's stomach.

In the era of GPS guidance where one rocket can take out almost any target if you are using HIMARS as a strategic bomber as Ukraine is against depot's and HQ's you won't feel the loss of a rocket pod as much but you will appreciate how easy it is to care for and how unbelievably fast it is.

Military vehicles being primarily tracked ones when you talk about road speed limits. And at a theatre scale 20 kph adds up fast it will take 4 hours to drive what the Himars can in 3, that can add up to multiple extra launches per day.

How?Not very well .

HIMARS has been a failure in Ukraine

Imagine that the only way for Russia to counter this, is to jam all GPS signals in a given area, rendering their own systems useless, as well.

Nice nod logo on the tail of the C130 :D

Será cierto que los himnars han sido interferidos? Que sus ataques a hoy Julio 2023 son impresisos por la interferencia electrónica???????

Useless yank junk...Russia is jamming this piece of junk and hitting the origin of the missile. Americans dont really give a shyt about the poor Ukrainians that are dying senselessly for the decaying brutal American hegemony

how it works? It doesn't work at all🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

The shoot and scoot naming is old game. They are calling it the cum and run, the drip and dip, the ejaculate and evacuate, the nut and strut. Please update this video!

сейчас это уже не работает, если прикрывает панцирь и у него достаточно бк то он всё сбивает. Ну и если чисто гипотетически раз на раз без яхдерки то россия или китай имеют возможность сбить спутники гпс и эта карета да и все высокотехнологичное оборудование превратится в дорогую тыкву. А так система для точечных ударов конечно хороша.

l though it must be secret. The Chinese will try to discovere it again, and it will face US from your almost intruducing it to many.

Best ever seen fragments patching area - at the end

Hi, how do you make this video and image?

Still got destroyed by russians in Ukraine 🙂

Victory to Ukraine, curses to Russia...

Well, not to everyone. Freedom to Russian civilians who are against the invasion of Ukraine.

Also victory to the Russian freedom fighters that are at work in Belgorod. 🍻🇺🇸

the us limited the range of himars exported to ukraine so they could not strike into russia

The Patriot Missile System lasted for 3 minutes after firing 32 blanks.Let's see how long the F16s will last🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excellent work, fantastic animation, congratulations

GPS just don't work in protected areas. Many russian taxi drivers suffer from this in Moscow and another regions.

Практика на украине показала - муйня лютая... на ветер выброшенные деньги американских налогоплательщиков... Траектория - однотипная, предсказуемая... Простая перепрошивка программ ПВО С-300, С-400 свела "на нет" эффективность Хаймарс"...(

Precise targetting systems, advance warheads, satelite connectivity, gps area locating and so much more but lost in Afghanistan. 😂

US.🇯🇵🇰🇷💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍

No?☝👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎🇨🇳🇹🇭

It isn't faster off-road. The M270 has tracks. Beats out those wheels every time.

Thanks no politics.

Hi! Mars!

i am super high, but this is pretty cool

The bane of the Russian military

This video aged... 💀🚭

sent another 100 to ukrain n let see ither still efficiant or not!!

this is an outstanding channel. her voice is perfect imo

Hoax gun..😂

Спросите у узких как это работает. В новогоднюю ночь около 600 узких стали экспертами в этом оружии в макеевке 😂😂

Now burning in Ukraine.
Other than being lobed at unprotected civilian objects this wonder weapon is just as effective as the Patriot system...not much.

NOD airship incoming

How to the rocket fire

What about false duds?

On March 6, Russia struck with two daggers at once and completely destroyed an underground bunker in the Lviv region, in which several generals of the Pentagon, NATO, many colonels died ... there are also losses from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was a response to Ukraine's sabotage invasion of the "old" territory of the Russian Federation. Western media hush up this event. The inhabitants of the bunker at a depth of 120 meters were not saved by the latest Western air defense systems.

Do they make these for Ute's ( pickup's) they would be so go for boys weekend camping trips 😄

Khersonian here. Saw the results of the Himars GMLRS strikes. Deadly and VERY precise. The amount of collateral damage is lowest as possible. God bless America! Thank you for the HIMARS, guys!

Тупость людей в том, что даже в данном видео, полностью доказали Полное Участие США в войне на Украине, но при этом все лицемерно говорят, что не участвуют.

All these ideas are being proven wrong in Donbass. !! no f35 to target, no way to avoid enemy jamming and spoofing

how far does it hit?

Satellite m6+ himars damar chamil hhh🤣🤣🧨🧨🇲🇦
