Just about every defense website has something on either the JLENS or the LEMV. I believe these are going to be used in "uncontested" airspace being protected only for small arms fire? Anyhow, my question really is...
Why are there 2 designs, i.e. "moored" versus "not-moored" (not sure if I have the correct word).
I get that one is basically a radar to track low flying cruise missiles while the other is an ISR platform. However, can't we put the payload from the JLENS into the LEMV and vice versa? This seems to me like an LCS-1 and LCS-2 thing. It can't be that you want the JLENS to be practically "static" right?
Thanks for the replies!
