It might be easier to ditch the Sidewinder-like custom IR sensor for a stock camera, and make up for this in software instead.
At the same time, I'm not sure if working on cheap guidance systems is the best idea at the moment - it could be used by Russias and North Koreas out there.
- lb1lf 3y ago-Do bear in mind both Russia and DPRK has vast funds available for R&D; I'd be much more concerned about some three-letter agency knocking on your door, asking pointed questions about your innocent guided-missile pastime...
- dun44 3y agoLooking how Russia still can’t make their own drones and needs to buy them from China and Iran - nah. They lost most of the potential inherited from USSR. As for TLA - what’s wrong with asking questions? Especially when they might also provide you with a free legal advice wrt ITAR ;)
- lb1lf 3y agoI accidentally and unintentionally violated ITAR a couple of decades ago. Free legal advice aside, it was hardly fun (not until afterwards...)
- hermitcrab 3y agoI definitely prefer not to end up on any government watchlists! I do worry a bit about my son's online searches. He is really into rocketry, not terrorism, but I wouldn't want to rely on the government to know the difference.
