Rxpress - Missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The radiation for the painting can originate in the missile itself or may come from a remote station (for example, a hilltop gunner can illuminate a target with a laser device and this can be used to direct an air launched guided missile). Missiles which spend most of their trajectory in unpowered flight, and which don't use aerodynamics to alter their course, are known as ballistic missiles (because their motion is largely governed by the laws of ballistics). Missiles are often used in warfare as a means of delivering destructive force (usually in the form of an explosive warhead) upon a target. www.rxpresspharmacy.com /wiki/index/Missile   (546 words)

Anti-tank guided missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An Anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) or weapon (ATGW) is a guided missile primarily designed to hit and destroy tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles. Guidance commands are sent to the missile through wires or radio. More advanced guidance systems rely on laser marking or a TV camera view from the nose of the missile, and some of the latest models are "fire-and-forget" and even "fire-and-fix" (third-generation). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-tank_guided_missile   (234 words)

Matra ARMAT A sketch of the Matra ARMAT anti-radiation missile As an anti-radiation missile, the ARMAT has a cylindrical body with a pointed nose, four cropped-delta wings and four in-line cropped delta tail fins just astern of the main wings. The Matra ARMAT was developed from the earlier Anglo-French AS 37/AJ.168 MARTEL (Missile Anti-Radar Television). www.bharat-rakshak.com /IAF/Aircraft/Missiles/ARMAT.html   (161 words)

Soviet Air-to-Surface Missiles The missile is launched from an altitude of 0.5 to 11 km after which it climbs to an altitude of 20 km for cruise flight. The missile was programmed to perform a "hump" maneuver in the terminal phase to hit the target at a 20-30 degree angle and thus improve the effectiveness of the warhead. The missile can be launched at speeds of Mach 0.47 to 1.5 from altitudes of 0.1 to 22 kilometers, but from low altitude the launch range of the Kh-58 is reduced to 36 km, and that of the Kh-58U to 80 km. personal.inet.fi /cool/foxfour/sovmis/sovmis-as.html   (3699 words)

AGM-122 SIDEARM - Archived 3/2003 Developed by the Naval Weapons Center at China Lake, California, the AGM-122A SIDEARM I (Sidewinder Anti-Radiation Missile) is the integration of an anti?radiation seeker to the AIM-9C Sidewinder air?to?air missile. The preliminary specifications call for the missile to be compatible with the Sidewinder launch rail, which appears to limit the field to the AGM-122 SIDEARM. Other options include modifying the ALARM or HARM by down­sizing these missiles to provide helicopter compatibility. www.forecast1.com /archive/mm/mm0939.htm   (1621 words)

Air to Surface Rockets - AS-17 'Krypton' The Kh-31A is an anti-ship missile with a range of 50km. Both missiles can be safely launched at a great distance of the target.

Venik's Aviation The preference may be given to guided anti-tank missiles and portable launchers, which will replace conventional anti-tank artillery. Russian armed forces have not employed DU rounds in combat, although considerable quantities of depleted uranium rounds are in storage. Alpha radiation may be easily absorbed by the air, but, once we breath in or swallow fine depleted uranium dust, alpha radiation it emits will be just as easily absorbed by our internal organs. www.aeronautics.ru /archive/du-watch/us_gov_about_du.htm   (10763 words)

Boston.com / News / World / Europe / Downed U.K. jet had faulty system He said the "immediate cause" of the accident was the Patriot missile battery which "misidentified" the Tornado as an enemy "anti-radiation missile" designed to home in on radar systems. Caplin said other factors included the "wide classification criteria" for anti-radiation missiles programmed into the Patriot system. A British military jet shot down by a U.S. missile during the Iraq war was hit after a failure of the electronic system designed to identified it as a friendly aircraft, the government said Friday. www.boston.com /news/world/europe/articles/2004/05/14/downed_uk_jet_had_faulty_system?mode=PF   (393 words)

Magnum - The Launch Pad rocket kits - Alarm This is the original prototype configuration of the British ALARM Anti-Radiation missile. Eventually the enemy position assumes the missile must have impacted somewhere by now, and they turn their radar equipment back on to take a peek. At this point the missile releases its parachute and slams in for a nearly unstoppable kill. www.magnumrockets.com /lpadalrm.html   (203 words)

Patriot missile: friend or foe? The Register Having met all classification criteria, the Patriot crew launched the missile, and the Tornado, mistaken for an "Anti-Radiation Missile", was engaged in self-defence. The Board concluded that the Patriot Anti-Radiation Missile Rules Of Engagement were not robust enough to prevent a friendly aircraft being classified as an Anti-Radiation Missile and then engaged in self-defence, and were thus contributory factors in the accident. The missile (overview here), which is manufactured by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, began life some 40 years ago as an anti-aircraft weapon. www.theregister.co.uk /2004/05/20/patriot_missile   (2967 words)

Strategic Affairs - Weapons & Equipment Studies of fire and forget missile technologies are underway on propulsion, on guidance (using millimetre wave and imaging infra-red with focal plane arrays) and on robustness against countermeasures. But Russia's arms exporting agency Rosboronexport is also quoted as saying that sufficient guarantees would be written into the contract with India which would ensure that the guidance technology is not installed in missiles with a range of more than 300 km. The studies are assessing the viability of a range of concepts for the deployment of large numbers of cruise missiles launched from adapted airliners, military transporters or maritime patrol aircraft. www.stratmag.com /issue2Sep-15/page02.htm   (2119 words)

Pakistani Defence Forum -> Anti Awacs Missile System The FT-2000 surface-to-air anti-radiation missile is the first large surface-to-air anti-radiation missile in the world. Since the missile has a passive homing system which does not transmit electromagnetic waves, the possibility of being discovered by the enemy is greatly minimized. The missile associated with the FT-2000 is probably similar to the HQ-9 in size but may be somewhat slower. www.pakistanidefenceforum.com /index.php?showtopic=7155   (437 words)

Military Matchups: ROC News According to classified information, the TC-2A missile, on which the anti-radiation missile is based, has a range of between 74km and 90km, enabling its carrier plane to fire at targets along China's southeastern coast from a safe distance in the Taiwan Strait. The anti-radiation missile under development is based on the domestically-developed TC-2 air-to-air missile, which is itself a copy of the US-made medium-range AIM 120 AAM. The anti-radiation missile is expected to enhance considerably Taiwan's retaliatory strike capability against China, adding another option for the military to choose from. www.emeraldesigns.com /matchup/roc_september.htm   (749 words)

Matra/BAe ALARM The missile is 4.3 m long, has a wing span of 0.72 m and a diameter of 0.224 m, weighing 584 lb (265 kg) at launch. In the terminal phase of the ARM's flight, a slowly rotating antenna on the target may be pointing away from the missile, which will therefore have to follow an inertially steered trajectory based upon previous measurements of the radar's position. The requirement for the missile to be wholly autonomous in its capability would also mean that arbitrary launch platforms, regardless of EW avionic fit, could employ the missile effectively. www.ausairpower.net /alarm-armat.html   (3809 words)

Defence Talk - Defence Forum - HARM "The War Winner" A major development goal was a high-speed missile (because this gave enemy radar operators less time to shut down their emitters), and therefore the project was named HARM (High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile). The AGM-88 missile has an inbuilt inertial system, so that whenever it has acquired a lock once, it will continue towards the target even if the emitter is shut down (although the CEP is larger in this case). On launch, the missile zooms up to an altitude from 12 to 21 kilometers (40,000 to 70,000 feet), turns off its rocket motor, and pops out a small parachute that causes it to descend nose-down. www.defencetalk.com /forums/printthread.php?t=3246   (2297 words)

GLOSSARY H HOMING GUIDANCE - A system by which a missile steers itself towards a target by means of a self-contained mechanism which is activated by some distinguishing characteristics of the target. The device is a deuterium-fluoride (DF) LASER which produces a coherent beam that can (with only about 1-second engagement duration) destroy missile target radomes at 4 kilometers, and optical systems at up to 10 kilometers. They work by accelerating electrons to very high velocities, then causing them to radiate some of their kinetic energy at the proper wavelength and in the proper direction in resonance with light waves in the electron beam. www.sew-lexicon.com /gloss_h.htm   (3942 words)

The Royal Air Force - Equipment Since its original entry into service, radars have become increasingly more sophisticated in their ability to avoid detection and attack by anti-radiation weapons such as ALARM; consequently, the missile is currently being upgraded and the improved capability ALARM is now entering service with the RAF's Tornado squadrons.

The missile will then fire a secondary motor to attack the target. www.skomer.u-net.com /projects/alarm.htm   (98 words)

Anti-radiation Missile (ARM) is able to guide itself to destroy a radar using the signal transmitted by the radar. Destruction of the radar or intimidation of the operators is the most positive electronic attack (EA) tactic and is often the tactic that human nature urges us to prefer. Based on this threat, the enemy may hesitate to operate the sensors due to the likely ramifications. www.argospress.com /Resources/radar/antradiatmissil.htm   (238 words)

Standard ARM The AGM-78 Standard ARM (Anti-Radiation Missile) was a development of the RIM-66 Standard shipborne air-defense missile. In 1966, it had become clear that the AGM-45 Shrike was far from the ideal anti-radiation missile, its main problems being the limited range, small warhead, and unflexible seeker. The Standard ARM was removed from the U.S. inventory in the late 1980s, having been completely replaced by the AGM-88 HARM. www.astronautix.com /lvs/stardarm.htm   (698 words)
