Also Lanc, even modern radars can't track COUNTLESS targets. There is still a finite limit to what even modern computers and software can handle.

the computers on the apahche (so i can't spell..................) can track, if my memory serves me correctly, 184 targets, and prioritise the mest dangerous 64 in under 3 seconds..............................
 
Question are militaries becomming overly dependent on computers and softwhere? Personally I like the AH-64 C the "LongBow" is nice, but also is not used in great numbers. I think if memory is correct that it is linked to the other Apaches so it can help target for them. That is a long cry from the first Rotery wings in WWII.

AS for the Lightening, I really am unread, so sorry Plan_D. Any sugestions on where I could read up on it?
 
That's only on the D model equipped with the Longbow MMW radar and that is still a finite number of targets.

184 is still more than i can count in 3 seconds, let alone prioritise the most dangerous 64..........................
 
The AH-64D can pass targeting data on to other Apaches. The real beauty of the system is the new model Hellfire missle using MMW radar for guidance which is a truly fire-and-forget weapon. The result is that 4 AH-64s can in a matter of seconds launch 64 Hellfire missles each with something upwards of a 90% hit rate. At least, that's the theory.
 
Well the thing is, each of those $64,000 missles would be knocking out a $500,000 or so T-72. That expirement would get pretty expensive pretty quickly.
