www.Primo.com: Missile.

Missile (abbreviated: missiles), guided missile or missile is a military rocket weapons which can be controlled or have automatic control system to search for targets or adjust the direction. In everyday usage, the term "missile" refers to the rocket with the control system, while the "rocket" is used for the rocket without a control system. The main difference between perceived very little difference other than the control system.
The first guided missile used in the operation is a German missile in World War II. The most famous is the V-1 and V-2, both using a simple autopilot system to keep the bullets fly towards it at the predetermined route.

Type missiles.

Ballistic missiles.

Ballistic missile is a guided missile trajectory using ballistic trajectory determined by the delivery system. This missile launch is only controlled during the course. The first ballistic missile was the V-2 rocket developed by Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s under the instructions of Walter Dornberger. Ballistic missiles can be launched from a fixed location such as missile silos, launch vehicles, aircraft, ships or submarines. Launch phase may last from tens of seconds to several minutes and can consist of up to three levels rocket. Ballistic missile trajectory consists of three phases: launch, free-flying phase and phase re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.

Cruise missiles.

Cruise missiles are guided missiles that use jet wings and use as a driving force. Cruise missiles are essentially flying bombs. Cruise missiles designed to carry conventional warheads or nuclear large quantities and can reach hundreds of miles with high accuracy. Modern cruise missiles can reach supersonic speeds flew above or subsonic, using automatic control system and flying at a low altitude to avoid radar. The first cruise missile developed Kettering Bug was developed by the United States in 1917 for use in World War I. This missile flew straight for a predetermined time and then the wings will be released for later body containing missile warhead fell cresting. This missile was never used in war since World War I is completed before the missile can be used. Missiles of this type include the famous BGM-109 Tomahawk U.S. can reach 1,100 km range.

Anti-ship missiles.

Anti-ship missile is a missile whose primary function is to destroy surface ships. Most anti- ship missile uses inertial guidance systems and active radar trackers. Anti-ship missile is one of the short-range missile used in World War II. Germany used it to drown many Allied ships before the allies to find ways to overcome them ( principally with radio jamming ) . Anti- ship missiles can be launched from ships , submarines , aircraft , helicopters and ground vehicles . Anti-ship missiles are known in the history of the German missile , Fritz X and Henschel Hs 293.

Examples of anti-ship missiles:

Boeing Harpoon (USA) - 221 kg warhead, 93-315 km range depending on platform
C-802/YJ-82 CSS-N-8 'saccades' (Chinese) - 165 kg warhead, 500 + km range
Exocet (France) - 165 kg warhead, 70-180 km range
RBS-15 (Sweden) - 200 kg warhead, 200 km range
Sea Eagle (UK) - 230 kg warhead, 110 + km range
Kh-35 (Russia) - 1645 kg warhead, 130 km range

Surface-to-air missiles.

Surface-to-air missile is a guided missile launched from the ground to destroy aircraft. Well-known term for this type of missile is SAM which stands for surface-to-air missile English ie suface-to-air missile. Surface to air missiles can be launched from fixed sites or launch vehicles. SAM smallest developed by the Soviet Union can be carried and launched by a soldier. SAM can also be launched from ships, this is an example of the type of Aegis.

Air-to-air missiles.

Air-to-air missile is a missile that is mounted on an aircraft to destroy enemy aircraft targets. Air-to-air missiles, among others, the famous AIM-9 Sidewinder is made in the United States. This type of missile can detect targets using tracking radar, infrared or laser. Air-to-air missiles generally are long, thin cylinders to reduce the effect of friction at high speeds. This missile is generally driven by one or more solid-fuel rocket or liquid. MBDA Meteor made in Great Britain using a ramjet and can reach a speed of Mach 4.

Anti-tank missiles.

Anti-tank missile missile whose primary function is to destroy tanks or other armored vehicles. Anti-tank missiles like the first generation AG-3 Sagger controlled using a joystick. Anti-tank missiles such as the second generation of the BGM-71 TOW and AGM-114 Hellfire uses a radio, a laser designator or a camera at the tip of the missile. Anti-tank missiles such as the third generation of the FGM-148 Javelin is made in the U.S. and Nag made in India is of the type "shoot and forget". Nag uses infrared and millimeter wave tracking.

Anti-ballistic missiles.

Anti-ballistic missile is a guided missile with a primary function to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles opponent. Anti-ballistic missiles of short distances between other Israeli-made Arrow and Patriot MIM-104 US-made. While the anti-ballistic missile designed to counter ICBM previously there were only two, namely the use of the U.S. Safeguard LIM-49A Spartan and Sprint as well as A-35 Russian. A-35 was developed into the A-135 which uses the Gorgon and Gazelle. The United States then develop the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense.

Anti-satellite missile.

Anti-satellite missile is a missile that has a function to destroy the enemy artificial satellites. Missiles of this type include anti-satellite weapons (ASAT) is launched from the aircraft. Missiles of this type are relatively still in the development stage.
Joint Direct Attack Munition (id: Joint Direct Attack Munitions).
JDAM is a gear guide that change was guided gravity bombs, or "dumb bombs", into gunpowder "proficient" in all weathers. JDAM bombs equipment is used to guide the target by an integrated inertial guidance system that paired a recipient of the Global Positioning System (GPS) to increase accuracy, giving the area the launch of more than 15 nautical miles (28 km) from the launch point.

JDAM variants:
GBU-29 250-lb MK-81
GBU-30 500-lb MK-82
GBU-31 2000 lb MK-84 or BLU-109
GBU-32 1000-lb MK-83
GBU-35 1000-lb BLU-110
GBU-38 500-lb MK-82

Torpedo.

Torpedo was itself having a projectile launched from the surface or below the surface of the water which is then slid under the water surface, designed to explode on contact or a certain distance to the target. Torpedo can be launched from ships, submarines, helicopters, aircraft and naval mines. Some examples include a modern torpedo U.S. MK 48 torpedo tube launched from submarines and use passive or active sonar, and VA-111 Shkval Russian-made using superkavitasi effects can reach speeds of 200 knots or 370 km / hour.

Guiding missiles.

Guiding radar.

Radar guidance system commonly used for medium-range missiles or far infrared signal which targets are generally too weak to be tracked infrared detectors. There are two kinds of radar guided missiles are active and semi-active. Missiles with active radar guidance system has its own radar system to detect and track the target. But the size of the radar antenna is limited by the small diameter missile limiting the detection range missiles. To overcome this, the missile must have other means (usually inertial guidance system) to approach the target before activating his radar. Guided missile semi-active radar is more common. This type of missile detection radar energy emitted from the target. Radar signals emitted by aircraft gunner. By this means the aircraft gunner must keep locking the target until the missile can reach, thereby limiting aircraft maneuverability shooter that can endanger the aircraft along with the threat of the enemy. Missiles of this type are also more easily distracted (jamming) because the distance to the target plane shooter as far from the target to the missile. Radar guided missiles can be overcome by continuous maneuver that resulted in locking stalled, deploying chaff or using electronic counter-measures.

Guides infrared.

Infrared guidance systems of heat generated will track enemy aircraft. Infrared detector initially had a low sensitivity level sehingg can only detect heat generated sewer plane. This means of attack aircraft must maneuver to be able to fire a missile when it is behind enemy aircraft. Infrared signals are weakened when the distance is also an obstacle further away the old system. Modern infrared guided missiles can detect the heat from any part of enemy aircraft into heat by friction with the air. This makes maneuvering aircraft gunners do not need to find a position behind the enemy aircraft before they can be fired. However it still can increase the likelihood of the targets. To cope with this type of missile, used flares hotter than its own plane so that the missile will track the higher heat. Recent research to develop a tool that can destroy the laser guidance system in the missile infrared. Modern missiles such as ASRAAM missile using infrared imaging that can "see" the target (such as a digital video camera) and can distinguish between aircraft with heat sources such as flares. This system also has a wide angle of attack aircraft that do not necessarily have to be in a straight line with the target to be locked. Pilots only need to use a helmet-mounted sight (HMS) and then "see" the target before firing. Russian Su-27 is equipped with a system of infrared search and tracking is equipped with a laser range finder to the HMS system. To be able to maneuver in terms of inadequate firing at short range to find the target, air-to-air missile is equipped with a driving vector that allows the missile to spin direction.

Electro-optical.

Electro-optical guidance system is the latest in guiding missiles. One of the missiles that use electro-optical guides are Israeli Python-5.
