Meteor Missile

The meteoroid is a fast and full(prenominal)ly manoeuvrable Beyond Visual persona Air to Air Missile (BVRAAM) air-to-air weapon. Guidance is provided by an quick radar seeker benefiting from enhanced technologies drawn from the MBDA Aster and Mica rocket programmes. The meteor was designed to equip the Euro fighter Typhoons of the UKs Royal Air Force (RAF), Germanys Luftwaffe, Spains Ejercito del Aire and Italys Aeronautica Militargon Italiana, the British and Italian F-35s (both in the Air Force and Navy), the Dassault Rafales of Frances Armee de lAir and Marine Nationale, and the Saab JAS 39 Gripens of Swedens Flygvapnet.The rocket is allocated targets from the steep aircraft radar and is capable of engaging air targets autonomously by darktime or day, in all weather and in severe electronic warfare environments. The increasing proliferation of state of the art Air to Air threats, that are challenging the already in service Air to Air combat strategy is a critical chal lenge for modern Air Forces which is answered by the meteor. The missiles ramjet propulsion system gives meteor its juicy speed performance and the energy to defeat fast, manoeuvring targets at long range.shooting star is equipped with both a proximity and impact fuse to picture total target destruction in all circumstances. The missile flight of stairs is controlled aerodynamically utilize four rear-mounted fins. Meteors control principles are intended to allow high turn rates while maintaining intake and propulsion performance. MBDA Meteor is capable of engaging air targets autonomously, whether fighters, bombers, transport aircraft or cruise missiles by using its active radar seeker by day or night and in all weather or dense EW (Electronic Warfare) environments.Meteors solid fuel variable-flow rocket/ramjet propulsion system will fancy a range in excess of deoxycytidine monophosphate km and a speed of more than Mach 4 and high term velocity. Even when launched from extre me stand-off ranges, the missile will have the energy in the end game to defeat fast, manoeuvring targets. To ensure total target destruction, the missile is equipped with both proximity and impact fuses and a fragmentation loading that is detonated at the optimum point to aximise lethality. Guidance is ISN, two-way data tie-up and active Ku-band radar seeker. It can receive targeting data after launch from the launching fighter or another fighter. The two-way data-link partially solves the IFF bother at long ranges. It is designed to defeat current and future threats Meteor provides the long stand-off range and high kill probability which combine to ensure air superiority and pilot survivability.
