MISSILE GUIDANCE RADAR [8 records]

Record 1 2013-08-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Weapon Systems
CONT

For example, autonomous guidance and all-weather capability jointly suggest an active radar system, but this means that the missile will attack the largest radar response that it perceives, and it will not necessarily aim for the most vulnerable part of the target.

Record 2 2007-11-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Missiles and Rockets
CONT

It is perhaps only natural that this vastly superior weapon, which provides not only more range, but inertial mid-course guidance and active radar terminal homing, should be used as the basis for a new medium/long-range surface-to-air missile.

Key term(s)
  • inertial midcourse guidance

French

Domaine(s)
  • Missiles et roquettes
CONT

Dans la catégorie air-air, le Sparrow est en voie de remplacement (au moins dans l'US Air Force) par le Hughes/Raytheon AIM-120 (Amraam) nettement plus performant: portée accrue, guidage inertiel sur trajectoire et autodirecteur à radar actif en phase terminale.

Record 3 2002-06-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Missiles and Rockets
  • Combat Systems (Naval Forces)
CONT

The AGM-84D Harpoon missile, used for anti-ship warfare, has active-radar systems providing target acquisition and sea-skimming cruise ability.

CONT

the Harpon's active radar guidance, warhead design, and low-level, sea-skimming cruise trajectory assure high survivability and effectiveness. The missile is capable of being launched from surface ships, submarines, or(without the booster) from aircraft.

Record 6 1994-05-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sea Operations (Military)
  • Combat Systems (Naval Forces)
  • Advanced Technology Weapons
CONT

For example, autonomous guidance and all-weather capability jointly suggest an active radar system, but this means that the missile will attack the largest radar response that it perceives, and it will not necessarily aim for the most vulnerable part of the target.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Opérations en mer (Militaire)
  • Systèmes de combat (Forces navales)
  • Armes de haute technicité
CONT

Une capacité tout-temps et un guidage autonome par exemple impliquent le choix d'un autodirecteur à radar, ce qui signifie que le missile se dirigera vers la zone du but qui renvoie l'écho radar le plus puissant mais qui n'est pas forcément la plus vulnérable.

Record 7 1989-06-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
DEF

A C-band, phased array, multifunction radar that performs target search and track missile search, track, and communications during midcourse guidance, and target-via-missile(TVM) terminal guidance.

Record 8 1985-02-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Missiles and Rockets
  • Telecommunications Transmission
CONT

radar information is fed into a computer, which causes signals to be transmitted to the missile so that it will intercept the target. This is called radar command guidance.
