sead SEAD missiles by VTI

SEAD missiles addon

I wrote a small config to add anti-radiation missiles to ArmA 3.

 

This small addon contains five anti-radiation-missiles for the ArmA III vanilla and some RHS aircraft. As well as SEAD capable variants of existing Jets DLC aircraft.
The missiles can be locked and fired onto groundbased radar sources from distances up to 10 km. They have diffrent speed, range and damage output.
They can be used by all vanilla airplanes via pylon settings but keep in mind that only the Neophron and Wipeout (asd far as vanilla goes) come with anti-radiation sensors and can target radar sources on their own. They can also be used by some helicopters.
The missiles use the already existing anti-radiation sensors, that currently are not used by any vanilla weapon. The line of sight of the missiles is not blocked by smoke but you can avoid the missile with turning off the radar and move.

Already used it and it's a very good addition to the game.

Very well done.

Thanks for feedback!

Silly idea and I have no clue if it would work IR: would it be possible to pass the targeting data from crafts with ARS down to ground missile batter and have that fire ARMs?

You mean like the Rhino is able to fire missiles on laser targets provided by datalink?

Passing the target data is no problem with enabled datalink.

It may work but it would be necessary to create a new missile that is capable of locking onto non line of sight radar targets and be fired from a ground based platform.

I would rather suggest the AARGM-ER missile that's made for fitting into weapon bays of stealth jets.

I do plan on expanding the addon a bit and include SEAD variants of the stealth jets with ARMs properly fitting into their internal bays. Also rework the whole pylon compatibility thing since there are some weird things and clippings happening right now with some combinations.

Well, actually I hope BIS does one themselves, we'll hopefully see something on the next roadmap.  Really is a small addition that adds a lot of depht to the game. Especially since it's easily counterable by turning off the radar and sometimes driving a meter to the side.

 

And if they don't, your addon does it already really well.

Ummm I really doubt that BIS will be doing anything else regarding Arma3 unfortunately.  The game has come to the end of its development.  There is NO roadmap, you are standing at the end of the road!

Except they already announced the next roadmap for next month in the sitrep.

I have been experimenting with this. Maybe the RevealTarget command could help?

 

never really tried it myself.

Anti-Radiation Missiles & Small Diameter Guided Bomb

Both NATO and CSAT receive new anti-radiation missiles, which are designed to auto-lock on ground targets that have their active radar sensor switched on. NATO fighter jets can also be equipped with new, relatively small, air-to-surface precision-guided bombs.

Sounds great! Really looking forward to it. I'll have to wait for it to see if there is anything to be improved by me :)

The problem is AI will not fire over terrain even if fully aware of the target and able to engage. A player must force the ai to fire its weapons or script it. However if they have no terrain blocking it they will usually fire out to what ever the weapons max range is
