Unique and exclusive graphics such as the AimPoint, a
football-like ``1st-And-10'' blue line on the green to show
the break of a putt as the golfer is actually striking the ball, is one
sure thing the networks will soon want to steal. The most recent guided MLRS (G-MLRS) unitary test firing at White
Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, on 9 December 2004 achieved an accuracy
inside of 10 meters of the aimpoint at a range in excess of 60
kilometers. Both launches employed the
weapon's stop motion aimpoint update capability, which allows the
target image to be frozen on the cockpit display screen and gives the
pilot the ability to change the aimpoint up until the final. |
