Untitled[edit]

The AMRAAM/TARH stuff didn't really seem to fit on this page. While active radar homing is a way to overcome the disadvantages of SARH, it's a seperate topic. I've replaced using SM-2, since TSARH seems a better fit for this article. Blackeagle 15:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

resolution[edit]

chenged the wikilink to resolution to Angular resolution. please change if there is a better page to point to. STHayden ^{[ Talk ]} 01:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

clarification[edit]

"However, since Desert Storm, most F-15 Eagle combat victories have been scored with the Sparrow at BVR ranges, including one fast, high-flying MiG-25 Foxbat by an Israeli plane."

This makes it sound like a Foxbat was shot in Desert Storm by an IDF/AF F-15 which is not totally true, since IDF/AF did not take part in ODS. What is true is that the Foxbat was shot down in 1981 so I corrected the paragraph to reflect that.Geohack 13:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a viable source.[edit]

This isn't a viable source for this article. This article is from an Australian-based defense think-tank that has no military, academic, or governmental backing whatsoever.

While everything in this article may be correct, I would like to see better sources listed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Derangedteddy (talk • contribs) 23:01, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Concept[edit]

The text: "The SARH system determines the closing velocity using the flight path geometry shown in Figure 1. The closing velocity is used to set the frequency location for the CW receive signal shown at the bottom of the diagram (spectrum). Antenna offset angle of the missile antenna is set after the target is acquired by the missile seeker using the spectrum location set using closing speed. The missile seeker antenna is a monopulse radar receiver that produces angle error measurements using that fixed position. Flight path is controlled by producing navigation input to the steering system (tail fins or gimbaled rocket) using angle errors produced by the antenna. This steers the body of the missile to hold the target near the centerline of the antenna while the antenna is held in a fixed position. The offset angle geometry is determined by flight dynamics using missile speed, target speed, and separation distance." - makes no sense. Sounds like it was written by someone with no understanding of it. - Moritzgedig (talk) 10:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
