The SkyKnight is an all-weather multi-target short-range air defence missile. [4] [5] It was developed by Halcon Systems and is the United Arab Emirates' first designed counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar (C-RAM) missile. SkyKnight is planned to be integrated into Rheinmetall Skynex air defence system. [6]
The Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet is a missile propulsion system that includes a thrust modulated ducted rocket with a reduced smoke nozzle-less missile booster. [2] The thrust modulation in the system is achieved using a hot gas flow controller. [2] The system utilises a solid fuelled air-breathing ramjet engine.
The FLIR's capability is also of use against low-observability missiles and can be linked with the RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) system to increase RAM engagement range and accuracy. The Block 1B also allows for an operator to visually identify and target threats. [11]
The Talos saw relatively limited use due to its large size and dual radar antenna system; few ships could accommodate the large missiles with the AN/SPW-2 missile guidance radar and the AN/SPG-49 target illumination and tracking radar. [3] The 9.9-meter-long, 3½-ton missile was comparable in size to a small fighter aircraft. [4]
