AIR TO AIR MISSILE EVOLUTION

BY ANUSHA REDDY.BUT (11B91A2101)

What is A2A ?• An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an

aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft.

• It’s the acronym of air to air missile

• Its generally launched from any airborne launch platform or air static launch platform

A2A missile classification

These air to air missiles are classified into two types based on their range and visibility

1.Bvr :- beyond visual range missile in these missiles the range in just beyond the eye sight so these are targeted using the heat signature of aircraft once detected on the radar of aircraft

2.Wvr :- with visual range this typical bullet of aircraft when its aircraft close in by for dogfight during the maneuver's these are used to score a perfect kill

Air to air missile component's

• Warheads

• Guidance systems

• Power plant unit

• Decoy measures

• Booster

• Integrator module

• Electronic unit

Warhead • Explosive: An explosive charge is used to disintegrate the

target, and damage surrounding areas with a shockwave. \

mostly used in presently timeline

• Chemical: A toxic chemical, such as nerve gas is dispersed, which is designed to injure or kill human beings.

• Biological: An infectious agent, such as anthrax is dispersed, which is designed to sicken and kill humans or just to infect it around the surround's of aircraft

the above two are historical used only in world wars era

Power plants system's

The power plant is basically dived into the motors used and types of the fuel used

1.Turbojet 2.Ramjet 3.Scramjet engines

Fuels include Solid fuel Liquid fuel

Guidance systems Radar guidance

Active radar

homing Semi-active radar

Beam riding

Infrared guidance

Electro-optical

Booster

• In this the aircraft its Is separated which huge force such that it get its initial boost phase for reaching high speed impact the

• Kinetic impact of missile excluding the warhead depends on active phase termination

• The booster is generally present for short or WVR range missile so its speed to range does to miss the target

• Its generally intended for the short range targets after score high speed kinetic kill without having warhead to take the Weight up of the platform aircraft

Flight paths of aim – 7

Evolution of air to air missile

• The first deployment includes the first world war just rockets launched through air attaché to aircraft or gliders

• The late 1940’s true and really but air to air missiles came up but were just infancy compared to this time

• The late 70’s came the true electric controlled power with seekers and other active electronic intelligence units

• With advent of guidance navigations as it changed the accuracy and other power full Aesa Pesa radars increasing the range fourfold like 120km or even greater

Evolution of air to air missile

• Spoofing the decoy measures with rise of air to air missiles so did the decoy measures like maneuvers relating hgher aerodynamic turns ,hard maneuvers this called even better decoy spoofing measures

• The flares which were already present the decoy them the so did the seeker tech

• all in all ,at recent times its said if a A2A is locked on to your tail its better to kiss a good bye

Seeker technology

• Well seeker technology presents the main program of guidance and the source code of the sequence of ignition separation till interception

• Its complied using various military program languages sometimes less technological advanced countries like the Tehran and Brasilia use well known like c++ and micro java

• Finally if its
