The AIM 9 Sidewinder has been in use for a number of years, and
has been through several model changes that include different
fusing systems. While MOST of that information is classified, we
can say that some of the missles have an infrared target detection
system that will detonate the warhead at a given proximity to the
target, and some included a magnetic influence fuse.
