The MICA is a French anti-air multi-target, all weather, fire-and-forget short to medium-range missile system manufactured by MBDA France. Its name is an abbreviation of Missile d'Interception, de Combat et d'Auto-défense ( lit.
Site C-6 was the 1971-84 location of the Alternate Space Surveillance Center [15]. In 1972 20% of the site's "surveillance capability…became dedicated to search for SLBMs" [43] (the USAF SLBM Phased Array Radar System was initiated In November 1972 by the JCS [44] while the Army's MSR and PAR phased arrays for missile defense were
The C-Band Radar Transponder (Model SST-135C) is intended to increase the range and accuracy of the radar ground stations equipped with AN/FPS-16, and AN/FPQ-6 Radar Systems. C-band radar stations at the Kennedy Space Center, along the Atlantic Missile Range, and at many other locations around the world, provide global tracking capabilities.
Semi-active radar homing (SARH) is a common type of missile guidance system, perhaps the most common type for longer-range air-to-air and surface-to-air missile systems. The name refers to the fact that the missile itself is only a passive detector of a radar signal—provided by an external ("offboard") source—as it reflects off the target [1] [2] (in contrast to active radar homing, which ...
The 530D has a claimed maximum interception altitude of 24,400 m (80,100 ft), with a snap-up capability of 12,200 m (40,000 ft), and a snap-down capability to targets at 60 m (200 ft). The missile has a range of 40 km and a maximum speed of less than Mach 5. [1] The Super 530 is being replaced by the MICA missile.
IRIS-T SLX is an upgraded variant of IRIS-T surface-to-air missile which has the operational range of 80 km and ceiling of 30 km. [12] It will also use a combined radar and infrared seeker. [15] On the ILA 2024, Diehl Defence displayed a missile model of the developing IRIS-T SLX, which looked quite different to both IRIS-T AAM and IRIS-T SL.
The officer said RADR and missile defences would be more effective than the report estimated, and noted that Chinese strike planners would most likely use a mix of munitions rather than 100% anti ...
The main variants of the CAMM family utilise a number of common features. The missiles' guidance system uses a combination of two-way data link for in-flight guidance and retargeting, and an active RF seeker, using gallium nitride (GaN) solid-state power amplifier technology, [21] for terminal guidance (lock-on after launch) providing high performance in all weather conditions.
