@Windjammer @airomerix What is the function of this Gas Generator ?

It is kind of a small rocket motor in conventional missiles. Serves as the initiator in a power chain with a series of sequences for catapulting the missile forward. Usually, it contains a supply of solid combustible chemical compounds and an igniter. These compounds are burnt rapidly to produce gas (pressure) and then pumped through the vent into the manifold towards the turbine to power the missile.

Description of R-73 Archer
The missile is used for engaging modern and future fighters, attack aircraft, bombers, helicopters, drones and cruise missiles, including those executing a maneuver with a g-force up to 12. It permits the platform to intercept a target from any direction, under any weather conditions, day or night, in the presence of natural interference and deliberate jamming. It realizes the "fire and forget" principle.
The missile design features a canard aerodynamic configuration: control surfaces are positioned ahead of the wing at a distance from the center of mass. The airframe consists of modular compartments accommodating the homing head, aerodynamic control surface drive system, autopilot, proximity fuze, warhead, engine, gas-dynamic control system and aileron drive system. The lifting surfaces have a small aspect ratio. Strakes are mounted ahead of the aerodynamic control surfaces. The combined aero-gas-dynamic control gives the R-73 highly maneuverable flight characteristics. During flight, yaw and pitch are controlled by four aerodynamic control surfaces connected in pairs and by just as many gas-dynamic spoilers (fins) installed at the nozzle end of the engine. Control with engine not operating is provided by aerodynamic control surfaces. Roll stabilization of the missile is maintained with the help of four mechanically interconnected ailerons mounted on the wings. Drives of all missile controls are gas, powered from a solid-propellant gas generator. The passive infrared homing head supports target lock-on before launch. Guidance to the predicted position is by the proportional navigation method. The missile's combat equipment consists of an active proximity (radar or laser) fuze and impact fuze and a continuous-rod warhead. The engine operates on high-impulse solid propellant and has a high-tensile steel case.

In case of Vympel designed missiles this gas generator is used for control purpose.

Thanks for the correction. My answer was more generalised (for ballistic missiles)

Your answer was also right even in case of few AAM's and SAM's if i am not wrong but Vympel had done that in another way.

i believe that r 73 is not junk if we syart reverse engineer it we can learn alot just help the university students so they can get inside out how it work. i can be wrong but its just my view


out gunned does not mean that we cannot help our students to get the basic knowledge about the air to air missile
We should invest our time on SD-10 or Aim-120 instead . Yes we can use them to get basic knowledge about the system or subsystem used by our adversaries but reverse engineering them is not worth it

Meanwhile Bharatis be like "Modi jee nai kaha hai to theek hi kaha hoga"
