An anti-radiation missile (ARM) is a missile designed to detect and home in on an enemy radio emission source. [1] Typically, these are designed for use against an enemy radar , although jammers [ 2 ] and even radios used for communications can also be targeted in this manner.
The AGM-88E was designed to improve the effectiveness of legacy HARM variants against fixed and relocatable radar and communications sites, particularly those that would shut down to throw off anti-radiation missiles, by attaching a new seeker to the existing Mach 2-capable rocket motor and warhead section, adding a passive anti-radiation ...
The missile utilizes passive RF homing which reduces its probability of detection. A countermeasure to ARM is not to use self-protective jamming (one could use stand-off jamming, assuming that the missiles has a range no longer than the radar), or have a decoy taking the missile (such as ADM-160 MALD and AN/ALE-55 Fiber-Optic Towed Decoy). By ...
ALARM (Air Launched Anti-Radiation Missile) is a British anti-radiation missile designed primarily to destroy enemy radars for the purpose of Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD). It was used by the RAF and is still used by the Royal Saudi Air Force. [2] The weapon was retired by the UK at the end of 2013. [3]
A US Navy EA-18G Growler, loaded with AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles. Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD, pronounced / ˈ s iː-æ d /), also known in the United States as "Wild Weasel" and (initially) "Iron Hand" operations, are military actions to suppress enemy surface-based air defenses, including not only surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) but also ...
That includes the Hormuz-2 anti-ship anti-radiation missiles designed to home in on the powerful active radar emissions of a warship. The home-in-on-radars guidance method could prove more ...
BAT radar guided bomb RBS-15F anti-ship missile (on right) under the wing of a JAS 39 Gripen fighter, 2007 Active radar homing missile seeker. Active radar homing (ARH) is a missile guidance method in which a missile contains a radar transceiver (in contrast to semi-active radar homing, which uses only a receiver) and the electronics necessary for it to find and track its target autonomously.
Kh-31A [20] - is a supersonic anti-ship missile with an active radar seeker to be used against vessels up to 4,500 tons. [5] The missile has a minimum range of 7.5 kilometres (4.0 nmi) and maximum range of 70 kilometres (38 nmi). [5] Missile is sea-skimming as it approaches the target. The missile uses a penetrating warhead.
