(which only has American fighter jets)
- GPS guided, accuracy within 10 meters up to 285 Miles (less accuracy longer, undeclared full range)
- Built for fitting to F-16s and other fighter jets
- Quicksink guidance system developed in 2023-2024 and resilient to EMW. Netherlands and Denmark partners.
- System classifies targets independently with graphical interface, adjusts to movements and tracks, changes velocity.
- Speed around 450-500 mph undeclared top speed
- Payload 250kg (or other???) full specs not revealed: "Its modular design allows for potential integration of specialized warheads, giving it adaptability across mission types"
- First shipments under 6 weeks - production in USA 1,000/ann.
- Ukraine will not have unrestricted operational authority over the new weapon. Use of the ERAM will require case-by-case approval from the Pentagon, a safeguard Washington has employed in previous transfers of sensitive systems. This stipulation suggests that the United States intends to keep direct influence over Ukrainian targeting decisions, particularly to prevent strikes inside Russian sovereign territory.
