MAA-1B Piranha
The MAA-1 Piranha 1 is a short-range infrared homing missile and the first air-to-air missile developed by Brazil for its Air Force and Navy. It was designed to replace the AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles
Pakistan Air Force - Unknown number of MAA-1A Piranha 1 missiles delivered in June 2010.

Letter of Intent signed by Pakistan to procure the MAA-1B Piranha 2 .

MAA-1B is a Brazilian air to air missile produced by Mectron. This new version of the Piranha, fits as a 4th generation missile with "off boresigh", about 90°, and a greater range of 50%, as well as greater maneuverability achieved by changing the aerodynamics of the flight controls of the original missile. The MAA-1B is capable of being appointed by the aircraft's radar or the HMD helmet. It will be a 4th generation missile, Brazilian air force has entered in the A-DARTER program and is already developing a 5th generation missile to be used with the MAA-1B.

SD-10 is comparable to the earlier A/B version of the AIM 120 AMRAAM, but not the latest ones. Lets see what Chinese can do and with Pakistan getting AIM 120 C, if they can get their hands on it...or at least inspect it.

AIM-120 AMRAAM Slammer

The AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM) is a new generation air-to-air missile. It has an all-weather, beyond-visual-range capability and is scheduled to be operational beyond 2000. AMRAAM is a supersonic, air launched, aerial intercept, guided missile employing active radar target tracking, proportional navigation guidance, and active Radio Frequency (RF) target detection. It employs active, semi-active, and inertial navigational methods of guidance to provide an autonomous launch and leave capability against single and multiple targets in all environments.

The AMRAAM weighs 340 pounds and uses an advanced solid-fuel rocket motor to achieve a speed of Mach 4 and a range in excess of 30 miles. In long-range engagements AMRAAM heads for the target using inertial guidance and receives updated target information via data link from the launch aircraft. It transitions to a self-guiding terminal mode when the target is within range of its own monopulse radar set. The AIM-120 also has a "home-on-jam" guidance mode to counter electronic jamming. With its sophisticated avionics, high closing speed, and excellent end-game maneuverability, chances of escape from AMRAAM are minimal. Upon intercept an active-radar proximity fuze detonates the 40-pound high-explosive warhead to destroy the target. At closer ranges AMRAAM guides itself all the way using its own radar, freeing the launch aircraft to engage other targets.

The AMRAAM is being procured for the Air Force, US Navy and America's allies. The AMRAAM program improves the aerial combat capabilities of U.S. and allied aircraft to meet current and future threat of enemy air-to-air weapons. AMRAAM is compatible with the Air Force F-15, F-16 and developmental F-22; Navy F-14 D/D (R) and F/A-18 C/D; German F-4 and the British Sea Harrier aircraft. A small number of AMRAAMs were carried by F-15 aircraft during Operation Desert Storm, though none were used. The AIM-120 was redeployed to the Persian Gulf in 1992 for use on F-15 and F-16 fighters. In December 1992 an F-16 pilot fired the first AMRAAM in actual combat, shooting down a MiG-25 Foxbat during a confrontation over southern Iraq.

AMRAAM is a follow-on to the AIM-7 Sparrow missile series. The missile is faster, smaller and lighter, and has improved capabilities against low-altitude targets. It incorporates an active radar with an inertial reference unit and micro-computer system, which makes the missile less dependent upon the fire-control system of the aircraft. Once the missile closes on a target, its active radar guides it to intercept. This enables the pilot to aim and fire several missiles simultaneously at multiple targets. The pilot may then perform evasive maneuvers while the missiles guide themselves to their targets.

The AIM-120 grew out of a joint agreement, no longer in effect, among the United States and several NATO nations to develop air-to-air missiles and to share the production technology. The AMRAAM program was established as a result of Joint Service Operational Requirement for an Advanced Air-to-Air Tactical Missile needed in the post-1985 time frame. The AMRAAM program began with a 1975 study which recommended that future aerial threats be engaged at 3-40 miles of range.

The AMRAAM program completed its conceptual phase in February 1979 when the U.S. Air Force selected two of five competing contractors, Hughes Aircraft Co. and Raytheon Co., to continue into the validation phase. During the 33-month validation phase the contractors continued missile development by building actual hardware to demonstrate their technological concepts. The program phase concluded in December 1981 after both contractors demonstrated that their flight-test missiles could satisfy Air Force and Navy requirements. The Air Force competitively selected Hughes Aircraft Co.'s Missile System Group, Canoga Park, Calif., as the full-scale developer.
 
An older thread has been revived by a deleted spammer!

One thing to remember is that missile envelopes overlap greatly. BVR missiles can be fired in a visual environment, but the other way around, not generally possible. And in any sort of a low-altitude tail chase, anything greater than 2 to 4 nm will deny a short-ranged missile, while a BVR missile will happily cruise forward and spank the target.

Russian Technology in the Louyang PL-12/SD-10 Air-to-Air Missile


Status: Uses Russian guidance and data link technology, to arm versions of the J-8, J-10, J-11, and FC-1 fighters, first delivery to PLAAF in 2004

Length: 3.85m Width: 280mm Weight: 180kg

Propulsion: Solid fuel rocket

Performance: SPEED: M4; RANGE: 70-80km; MANEUVERABILITY: 38G

Guidance: Reported to use Russian Agat active radar seeker and data link



Israel’s cooperation with the PLA in the area of short-range air-to-air missiles is reported to have started with a 1982 agreement[154] to co-produce the Rafeal PYTHON-3 AAM. This marked the PLA’s second major source of this kind of technology since acquiring early Russian AAM technology in the late 1950s and early 1960s. For the PLAAF and PLANAF, the acquisition of the Rafael PYTHON-3, called the PL-8 in the PLA, marked a significant upgrade in capability. Derived from the SHAFIR, which was based on U.S. AIM-9 SIDEWINDER AAM technology, the “third-generation” PYTHON-3 was a new missile which featured a wider engine that confers greater acceleration to meet the requirements of Israeli air combat doctrine. It also has an infrared seeker capable of “all htmect” detection, meaning it can attack a target head-on, not requiring extensive aerial maneuvering to get a tail-launch position.

Python-3/PL-8

Status: In service with PLAAF and PLANAF units, seen on J-7, J-8 and J-10 fighters

Length: 3.3m Diameter: 160mm Weight: 120kg

Performance: RANGE: 15km

Guidance: Infrared, all htmect



PL-9/PL-9C

Status: Based on Python-3 but service status in the PLAAF is uncertain, upgraded PL-9C reported to arm J-8, J-10 fighters, may arm J-7G

Length: 2.99m Diameter: 160mm Weight: 120kg

Performance: RANGE: 5.5km; PL-9C: 8km, 22km in head-on attack

Guidance: Infrared, all htmect, helmet sighting; PL-9C: more sensitive seeker with anti-jamming, helmet sight



Python-4

Status: There are some indications of possible sale to the PLA

Length: 3m Diameter: 160mm Weight: 105kg

Performance: SPEED: M 2; RANGE:15km, possibly up to 40km

Guidance: Enhanced imaging infrared seeker with advanced Helmet Display sighting



New Louyang IIR AAM

Status: In advanced development

Performance: Unknown but will use thrust-vectored engine for advanced maneuverability

Guidance: New Imaging-Infrared (IIR) seeker; new Helmet Display sighting system
