  1. MILITARY AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS Part 6 DATA LISTS

  2. Military Aircraft Systems • Missile Weapon Data AMRAAM AIM-120 Medium-Range, Radar Guided, Air-to-Air Missile, with a speed of Mach 4 and a range of 20nm+ ASRAAM AIM-132 Short-Range, Infrared guided, Fire-and-Forget, Air-to-Air Missile, with a speed of Mach 3+ and a range of 20nm+

  3. Military Aircraft Systems • Missile Weapon Data ALARMAir-Launched, Anti-Radiation Missile, homes on enemy radar energy and can loiter if the radar is switched off. Can also be pre-programmed to box-search and attack the highest priority threat. Brimstone Fully autonomous, Fire-and-Forget, Laser- and Radar-Guided, Anti-Armour Missile, supersonic speed with a range of 10nm+

  4. Military Aircraft Systems • Missile Weapon Data CRV-7 Rocket General Purpose Unguided Rocket, used against armoured targets with a range of 3nm. Harpoon Long-Range, Fully Autonomous, All-Weather, Over-the-Horizon, Sea-Skimming, Anti-Ship Missile, with a speed of 537mph and a range of 70nm+

  5. Military Aircraft Systems • Missile Weapon Data Maverick Anti-Armour, Fire-and-Forget Missile, for Close Air Support & Defence Suppression against armour, ships, transport and fuel storage facilities, with a speed of Mach 0.8 and a range of 3nm. MeteorBeyond Visual-Range, Air-to-Air Missile, with a ramjet engine, carries impact and proximity fuses, and has a speed of Mach 4 and a range of 60nm.

  6. Military Aircraft Systems • Missile Weapon Data Sidewinder AIM-9L Short-Range, Fire-and-Forget, Air-to-Air Missile, with a speed of Mach 3+ and a range of 6nm+, it was replaced by ASRAAM. SkyflashMedium-Range, Air-to-Air Missile semi-active homing, a speed of Mach 4 and a range of 20nm+ it was replaced by AMRAAM.

  7. Military Aircraft Systems • Missile Weapon Data Stingray Air-Launched, Electrically-Powered, Lightweight, Homing Torpedo, used against ocean or coastal water submarines. Storm Shadow Long Range, Stand-off Missile, designed to attack hardened targets, it navigates at low-level using terrain matching & integrated GPS, with a speed of Mach 0.8 and a range of 150nm+

  8. Military Aircraft Systems • Guided Bomb Weapon Data Paveway II 500lb precision laser-guided bomb, homed onto its target by an airborne TIALD pod. Paveway III 1,00lb precision laser-guided bomb, designed to penetrate hardened targets. Paveway IV 500lb low-cost, all-weather, 24-hour, precision laser-guided bomb, with the latest GP Guidance, capable of destroying most general-purpose targets.

  9. Military Aircraft Systems • Unguided Bomb Weapon Data BL755 Cluster Bomb when released, breaks open in the airflow & releases 147 high-explosive bomblets. GSB’s 540lb and 1000lb general purpose bombs use unitary blast warheads and are dropped as unguided freefall bombs or fitted with a retarder unit, have three modes of detonation: above a target in airburst mode, impact detonation, or post-impact detonation after a pre-set delay.

  10. Check of Understanding Which of the following is a capability of the ASRAAM? • Radar-guidance • Medium range Infra-red guidance • Anti shipping

  11. Check of Understanding What is the range of an AIM-120 AMRAAN missile? 2 nm 20 nm+ 50 nm+ 100 nm+

  12. Check of Understanding CRV-7 Rockets are used at what range? Up to 2 nm Up to 3nm Up to 5 nm Up to 10nm

  13. Check of Understanding The Maverick missile is: An anti-armour, fire and forget missile Steered to impact by the attacking aircraft An anti-ship, fire and forget missile Only effective against ships

  14. Check of Understanding What type of weapon is the AMRAAM? Short-range air to air missile Medium-range air to air missile Beyond Visual-Range Air-to-Air Missile Anti Radar Missile

  15. Check of Understanding Skyflash was a semi-active radar-guided missile. What does this mean? The missile is fire-and-forget The missile relies on the launch aircraft’s radar to find the target The missile does not need any assistance from the launch aircraft The missile uses both infra-red and radar guidance

  16. Check of Understanding Which of the following weapons is powered by a ramjet engine for long range performance? Meteor Sidewinder Skyflash ASRAAM

  17. Check of Understanding Which missile is designed to attack submarines? • Alarm • Harpoon • Maverick • Stingray

  18. Check of Understanding Skyflash was replaced with which weapon? Sidewinder ASRAAM Meteor AMRAAM

  19. Check of Understanding What type of weapon is the Sidewinder? Short-range air to air missile Anti-armour missile Medium-range air to air missile Laser-guided bomb

  20. Check of Understanding What sort of speeds would you expect from an AIM-132 ASRAAM 500 mph Excess of Mach 1 Excess of Mach 2 Excess of Mach 3

  21. Check of Understanding The Meteor missile carries: • Impact and proximity fuses • Impact fuses only • Proximity fuses only • No fuses and is denoted by • the attacking aircraft

  22. Check of Understanding STORM SHADOW is designed to attack what? Radars • Ships • Hardened Targets Submarines

  23. Check of Understanding For attacking armoured targets, what weapons should be used? Maverick or Harpoon Storm Shadow or BL755 Cluster Bombs CRV-7 Rockets or Brimstone Harpoon or Sting Ray

  24. Check of Understanding What is the range of an AIM-132 AMRAAN missile? 2 nm 8 nm+ 20 nm+ >50 nm

  25. Check of Understanding Which of the following best describes how the Paveway II homes onto its target? • It's a Fire-and-Forget missile • Airborne TIALD pod • Internal GPS • Radar Guided by launch aircraft

  26. Check of Understanding What happens when a BL755 Cluster Bomb is released from an aircraft? • It breaks open in the airflow and releases 14 high explosive bomblets. It fall on the target and then fires off 14 high explosive bomblets. • It breaks open in the airflow • and releases 147 • high explosive bomblets. It falls to the ground and then fires off 147 high explosive bomblets.

  27. Check of Understanding General Purpose Bombs have three modes of detonation known as: • Retarded, Immediate and Delayed • Airburst, Ground burst, Proximity burst • Pre-impact, Impact and Post-impact • Airburst, Impact and Post-impact

  28. Check of Understanding Which of the following lists includes only air launched missiles and bombs? • ASRAAM, Paveway 2, 3 & 4, SAM, 1000LB General Purpose Bomb. AMRAAM, Paveway 2, Stinger, BVRAAM. • Sidewinder, AMRAAM, • Paveway 3, ALARM. • BVRAAM, CRV7, Paveway 4, • 1000LB General Purpose Bomb.
