Question for sci.military:
If the US/Allied forces are looking for hidden SCUD missiles, perhaps
a P3 Orion subhunter could be used to detect the metallic mass below
the desert surface. Is this something a P3 could detect?
Thanks.

Nice idea, but do you know how long it would take to R&D, get funding for, and finally deploy such a tool. At least 5 years--MINIMUM....

At least 5 years--MINIMUM.... A more technological objection is that MAD has a *very* short effective range; it is suitable only for final localization, not for initial detection. Also, it shouldn't be hard to mass-produce cheap magnetic decoys. -- "Maybe we should tell the truth?" | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology "Surely we aren't that desperate yet." | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
