SD-10 A specs

[Burhan Wani]

A datalink will allow the launch aircraft to provide mid-course target updates or retargeting if required, including data from offboard third parties.

The datalink electronics are mounted in the starboard intake fairing, ahead of the FAS. The antenna is mounted in the rear of the fairing.

faS- fin actuation subsystem

Data link is like the Wifi between your computer/smart phone and the wireless router.
It means a radio link on which target data can be sent/received by the missile.

Sir what about it's speed? Specifications similar to deliliah missile if we attach CCD on nose?

Speed of what?
And where did Delilah come in from?

Delilah is an air to surface missile, this is an air to air missile. Two completely different things.

ANother question sire it is mentioned INS+Active radar guidance or active homing. Then how can you say that it is both active and passive. ?


Data link? SOme thing related to satellite or IP operations? Please elaborate it seems new technology. I worked on Tercom,INS,GPA,Active radars but DAta link.............?

By Active/Passive mode, It means, If active seeker is overwhelmed by ECM or Chaff, Passive guidance would guide the missile on to it's target by focussing on the electronic emission from the aircraft. Thus a weakness of missile becomes it's strength, a Electronic counter measure jamming missile active seeker , passive guidance would home on to ECM.

 

[Burhan Wani]

As spark explained. The reason being, INS takes the missile in the general direction of where the target ought to be based on the calculation at the launch time. But considering that it may be maneuvering the calculations maybe completely off. So the data link provides updates to the missile of where the target is during the mid course.

INS provides euler angles, G force and yes it is takes the missile to the target. But what is the probability that maneuvering calculations completely off. Strange

 

[Bratva]

The missile at launch gets the initial coordinates from the JF-17's onboard radar.....then it goes towards the target. If the target is still within the launch aircraft's radar scan, the missile gets updated information. If not, it continues on the last known location.......once it is close enough to the target, it switches it's own radar ON (seeker) and gets a final lock.



It says...Max Launch Range as 70kg????



Whenever the target is within the range of the missile radar/seeker, it will go into Active Radar mode....may or may not be terminal phase......since it will still need to put up the chase anyway.

A typo obviously. 70 KM is maximum distance it can cover

Not of the missile but of the target. Of where the target ought to be vs where it actually is.

Dayem, was expecting 100km.

But at what aspect? Head on, chase, altitude etc? Because range will matter a lot.

Yes ECM EW. BTW sir it sounds dangerous? ISn't it?

Hmm sir but tell me about speed?RCS?

 

[SpArK]

Mach 4+

Speed is already mentioned >mach 5 which I doubt, it should be around mach 4 based on previous literature. RCS whatever the aircraft radar is capable of.

RCS of Missile

RCS of Missile

Buddy. Non of us have that figure. I have never seen RCS figures for any AAM in any literature.

A typical cruise missile with UAV-like characteristics has an RCS in the range of 1 m2; the Tomahawk ALCM,Tomahawk SLCM 0.5 m2.

This is an air to air MRAAM its RCS would be smaller than a cruise missile. But why does it even matter? Again you are comparing it to air to surface and surface to surface missiles. Its target would already know its coming through RWR.
