The Delilah is an attack missile launched from outside the range of air defenses. It was revealed in 1995. It is equipped with GPS satellite navigation systems, INS internal navigation, and a two-way data link, in addition to a CCD/IIR dual seeker to confirm the injury through the images it transmits to the aircraft. Activate it at the last stage of the trajectory to increase the accuracy of the hit. This dual seeker can detect a target from a distance of 16 km with the ability to automatically track day and night moving targets.
The accuracy of hitting the missile is less than one meter, and its maximum speed reaches Mach 0.85-0.9 when hitting the target..
The Delilah missile is considered one of the most secret Israeli weapons, as it relied on naming all generations of this missile and its updates on the same name without any designation indicating the difference of generations, and it is confirmed according to Israeli Defense Ministry publications that the copies delivered to the Air Force today differ from those that were delivered In the nineties, despite their almost identical formality.
The Israelis have been seeking a coating that helps absorb radar waves for years, and it is called Signaflux, and it seems that the Israelis are trying to reduce the radar signature of their offensive weapons, including the Delilah, and modern versions of the Delilah may have been equipped with this stealth coating.
It is also possible that the Israelis have developed an anti-radar version of the Delilah missile by benefiting from their extensive experience in manufacturing the passive seeker of the HARPY anti-radar suicide drone in all its versions.
It is possible as well that they have developed an electronic warfare version similar to the British SPEAR missile with a DRFM ability to jam, perhaps to protect a group of missiles targeting a location.
According to the Defensa newspaper, Morocco is seeking to operate the Israeli missile on its F-5-2000 fighters in a first stage..
