Starstreak Multi Mission System

The Thor vehicle mounted Multi Mission System (MMS) was first demonstrated at DSEi 05, mounted on the ATL Pinzgauer (6x6) cross-country chassis. Thor comprises a four-missile turret with an integral stabilized sighting system, TV camera and thermal viewer and integrated auto-tracker, providing 24 hour capability. The system mounted the Starstreak High Velocity Missiles (HVMs) in the ready-to-launch position. Starstreak HVM is a laser-guided missile with a maximum speed in excess of Mach 3 and a range greater than 6km. Starstreak is in service with the British and South African armies.(info from defense-update)

Please Note this Addon requires my Starstreak HVM Addon to work.

This my attempt to try and make the Thor vehicle mounted Multi Mission System for NATO and the AAF using the AFV-4 Gorgon and the NATO IFV-6a Cheetah as bases. they can be found in NATO > Anti-Air NATO > APCs and AAF > APCs in the editor. I have tried to make this as close to the actual Thor vehicle mounted Multi Mission System as possible.

Addon features:

- Multi Mission System armed with 4X Starstreak High Velocity Missiles. (Used on the IFV-6a Cheetah)

- Multi Mission System armed with 2X Starstreak High Velocity Missiles. (Used on the AFV-4 Gorgon)

Missile and launcher features:

Advantages:

- The Missile is what is know as a beam riding missile using a laser to paint a target for the missile to get a lock on the target it must be within the aiming crosshairs to lock on to it once fired the missile will automatically fly to the to the target and destroy it.

- The Missile has a max range of 7km and the Mark II Missile has a max range of 8km.

- The launcher can target both land and air targets like the real Starstreak. it is effective against jets gunships MRAPs and IFVs (though i would not use it against tanks).

- It Cannot be jammed by countermeasures (though it can still miss if the target moves around to much).

- Its high speed makes it more likely to be able to intercept a fast moving aircraft.

Disadvantages:

- The major disadvantage is that the submunitions, having no proximity fuze, must collide with the target in order to harm it.

- The guidance laser may be detected after the missile is fired, if the target aircraft is equipped with a suitable passive laser warning system. In contrast, to detect a passively guided Infrared homing missile requires MAWS detectors with significant disadvantages: radar-based closure-detecting style MAWS radiate an easily detectable signal that reveals the aircraft and may be used as an auxiliary homing signal by AA missiles, and Infrared launch signature detector-based MAWS tend to be subject to a high false alarm rate, which reduces attention paid them by the pilot.

- Battlefield obscurants, such as smoke or fog, can degrade the ability of the missile operator to see the target, and could potentially interfere with the guidance laser. This is also the case (to a slightly lesser extent) in misty or rainy conditions.

- The training level of the operator is critical since, unlike infrared guided missiles, the operator has to track the target exactly with the sighting unit aimpoint (SACLOS). If the aircraft detects the targeting laser, it has the whole period of the missile flight time to engage in avoidance manoeuvres, which adds additional challenge to the missile operator's target-tracking task.

Future features:

- None at the moment. let me know if there is anything you want me to add.

Known issues:

- None that I know of at the moment please report any bugs to me if you find any.

Special thanks to:

- Bohemia interactive for the base textures and models.
