A booster increases the minimum effective range, so it may not be a good solution for some applications.
Why concentrate on disadvantages instead of advantages?I wonder members also calculates the mishaps of the usage of booster in ground applications which is not case in naval usage. This limits deployment and needs careful calculations.
PS. Civilian injury and death risk in the nearby due to falling discharged booster over them.
- civilian problem -> send them to shelter via warnings and alerts, use a light booster like Delta-V uses. There is always a risk with every missile:
- Minimum range probem -> for short range remove the booster
