Talk:Aircraft Equipment/Proposed
The obvious one for me is a medium to long-range missile. Typically it will be radar guided at distance (probably using an seperate radar/radio system in the interceptor aircraft to "paint" the target. As it gets closer it would switch to internal multisensors (ladar, optical, heat guidance, electrical signal guidance as per anti-radar)
Another missile type, would require research of captured missile, would be one that homes in on their particular signal emissions, therefore never homing in on an Earth target. Maybe this could be a modification to existing sensors , missiles.
As an aside, aircraft rarely mount armour. It's too heavy. Unless phalanx can find some super-material that is both inceribly light and strong. It just weighs the aircraft down, generally aircrafat just armour vital sections, like fuel tanks, crew and engines, or just the engine intake. Even the A10 warthog ground attack craft has no armour, except for round the pilot, to which they refer as a steel bath-tub
The bombing of downed UFOs conception was rejected in proposals. Maybe some of the moderators should move Underminer and Hearthseeker air-to-ground bombs to "rejected proposals" section?
