From the Dash-34, p167
For the 1st DLZ , what is 30M on side in relation to the 24M on bottom?
Same question for 2nd DLZ: What is 30M on side in relation to 23M on bottom?
What is 20M in 3rd DLZ?
-
@jc1 30M is the predicted M-Pole for the missile on the rail, 24M is for the missile in flight.
Simple way of seeing it: everything on the left is for the missiles still onboard, everything on the bottom is for the missiles in flight. -
@mro That was mostly very helpful, but not completely because it makes me ask why the 2nd DLZ didn’t show a lower distance than 30 miles for the missile on the rail.

Hi all,
Perhaps i make a mistake but for me, these 3 pictures describe the same engagement :
-
The first is the missile launch at r-Opt with a 180 aspect angle target (for example)
-
The second, the target have changed its aspect angle (and / or speed or altitude) , so the AMRAAM will have a longer time and distance to acquire the M-POLE. It’s for this reason we find than the M-Pole for the missile in-flight is more or less the same between this stage and the previous one.
-
Third the missile go active but as the target continue to change it’s heading (and/or…) , we have these values.
In fact, as all the DLZ and it’s data are dynamically calculated based on our heading, speed and altitude and the same for our target, we must always reconsider a situation because all the variables can change quickly.
Cheers,
Eric. -

I made a video talking about the DLZ.
