AIM-9 Sidewinder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a heat-seeking, short-range, air-to-air missile carried by fighter aircraft. The first combat use of the Sidewinder was in 1958 with the air force of the Republic of China on Taiwan. The last upgrade to the missile motor on the AIM-9X is the addition of a wire harness that allows communication between the guidance section and the control section as well as a new 1760 bus to connect the guidance section with the launcher’s digital umbilical. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/AIM-9_Sidewinder   (1963 words)

AIM-9 Sidewinder The AIM-9 Sidewinder is today the standard short-range AAM of the western world, and is likely to be so in the near future. The AIM-9 Sidewinder has scored more air-to-air kills than any other air-to-air missile in the world, and that record is not likely it be beaten by any missile in the future. The first time that Sidewinders were used in war, was in 1958 when the US supplied missiles and launchers for the Republic of China/Taiwanese F-86 Sabre jets which were fighting daily battles with Chinese MiG-17s over the islands Quemoy and Matsu. kom.aau.dk /~august/sidewinderj.htm   (396 words)

Raytheon AIM-9 "Sidewinder" Originally developed by the U.S. Navy, the AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile was adapted by the US Air Force for use on its fighters. OOALC was also awarded a $10 million contract for installation of guidance and control modification kits on AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles in July 1993. The AIM-9 was used extensively during the war in Southeast Asia. www.hill.af.mil /museum/photos/coldwar/aim-9.htm   (312 words)

F-16.net :: The Ultimate F-16 Reference The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a supersonic, heat-seeking, air-to-air missile. Low-level Pakistani F-16A, armed with 2 AIM-9P Sidewinders and 2 high-drag Mk.82s. The "Box size" (i.e., the square dimensions of its container) is 7.9 in (200 mm) compared to the 20 in (508 mm) of the standard Sidewinder. www.f-16.net /f-16_armament_article1.html   (2716 words)

Armament of General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon The AIM-9J introduced the Sidewinder Expanded Acquisition Mode (SEAM), which slaved the seeker head of the missile to the radar when in "dogfight" mode, which enabled the AIM-9J seeker head to be uncaged, slewed toward a specific target by the aircraft radar, and made to track that particular target only before being launched. The AIM-9 Sidewinder is 9.4 feet long, has a wingspan of 25 inches and a diameter of 5 inches. There are two primary components to the defensive armament of the USAF's F-15A/B--the AIM-9 Sidewinder infrared-homing missile and an internal 20-mm cannon. home.att.net /~jbaugher4/f16_8.html   (2389 words)

AIM-9 Sidewinder Information The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a supersonic, heat-seeking, air-to-air missile carried by fighter aircraft. The AIM-9X Sidewinder Air-to-Air missile program will develop a short range heat seeking weapon to be employed in both offensive and defensive counter-air operations. Improvements in heat sensor and control systems have provided the AIM-9L missile with an all-aspect attack capability and improved guidance characteristics. www.fortunecity.com /tatooine/leguin/643/web_tree/Weapons/html/AIM-9_inf.html   (2496 words)

The Sidewinder Story The AIM-9M was responsible for all of the 10 Sidewinder kills scored during the Gulf conflict, with most kills scored by the longer ranging Sparrow due the Iraqis' reluctance to engage in dogfights. The ubiquitous AIM-9 Sidewinder is without doubt the most important heatseeking missile of the last three decades, seeing service in every engagement between Western powers and their adversaries since the 1950s. The Sidewinder has stood the test of time, and spending 40 years at the cutting edge is a tribute to its original designers, who can be justly proud of their basic design. www.saunalahti.fi /fta/aim9.html   (5565 words)

AIM-9 Sidewinder Missile Features: The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a short-range, air-to-air missile that uses an infrared seeker, enhanced warhead, and guidance permitting all-angle attacks.

The USS Liberty Inquiry Forum - Ensign Lucas' testimony Can that whistling sound eliminate be distinguished from the sound that an AIM-9 Sidewinder would make, Joe??? If, for argument's sake, we assume the source of the whistling sounds to have been Sidewinders and do a little abstract extrapolating from Ensign Lucas' testimony, it would represent an awful lot of Sidewinders--many times more than could be accounted for by the number of planes Israel has "admitted" to using in the attack.---Joe This itself would eliminate Sidewinders as the cause of the sounds. www.usslibertyinquiry.com /forums/printthread.php?t=269   (613 words)

Virtual Wonder-Wander Micro-Farm Sidewinder Project Overview In researching possible designs for the project, the history of the AIM-9 Sidewinder was found at the China Lake Naval Weapons Center pages. The Sidewinder's forward control fins combined with its need for additional nose weight (due to the movement of the center of pressure caused by the control fins) make it a good platform for guidance experiments as well as other payloads. While most know of the Sidewinder air-to-air missile, its place in the history of rocket weapons technology is not as well known. www.fred.net /wwmfarm/Rockets/sideover.htm   (407 words)

Sidewinder The AIM-9 Sidewinder is the world's most successful short-range air-to-air missile, and will remain the U.S. military's main "dogfight" AAM for the foreseeable future. Because of the usual inter-service rivalry, the USAF did not adopt the Sidewinder, until a "fly-off" against the USAF's GAR-2/AIM-4B Falcon in June 1955 showed the superiority of the Sidewinder. The USN's most successful Sidewinder variants in Vietnam were the AIM-9D and -9G, which were resposible for the majority of USN air-to-air kills in this conflict. www.astronautix.com /lvs/sidinder.htm   (2567 words)

Tester Main Page Since the AIM-9B, the Sidewinder "steadily improved," Venlet said, coming out with the AIM-9E, D/G and H and J. "The Navy advanced the missile's capability most noticeably with the incorporation of Sidewinder Expanded Acquisition Mode," he said. Running through a quick, but informative review on the AIM-9 Sidewinder, Venlet told the missile's story since its inception in the late 1940s to where it is today as one of the oldest, least expensive and most successful missiles in U.S. weapons industry. Venlet said the idea for the Sidewinder came about in September 1946 when the chief of Naval Operations (CNO) issued to the Bureau of Aeronautics and Bureau of Ordnance a requirement for an air-to-air guided missile. www.dcmilitary.com /navy/tester/archives/sept2/tst_e9299.html   (758 words)
