What does a MMS look like? I was under the impression that it was this
giant ball that sits on top of the rotor system, but I tried to track
down a pic of it and couldn't find one ... I did find a pic of the
Longbow mast-mounted radar ... Kind of looks like a tire sitting on top
of the rotors ...
Second Question: Do SR sensors include target designator?
Third: How would SR tech advancement affect MMS?
