What is a missile?
a missle is a kind of bomb# An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped, or otherwise projected at a target; a projectile. # A guided missile. # A ballistic missile. # An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped, or otherwise projected at a target; a projectile. # A guided missile. # A ballistic missile.
What must be the minimum velocity of a missile if it is to strike a target 100 meters away?
The minimum velocity of the missile would depend on the time it takes for the missile to reach the target. If the missile travels 100 meters in 1 second, then the minimum velocity would be 100 m/s.
How many times stronger is the MX missile than the Hiroshima blast?
about 20 times.
Is a surface to air missile?
A missile fired from the surface (ie the ground) intended to hit a target in the air (ie a plane) A missle fired on the ground that seeks out an airborne target.
How do you aim a missile at a target?
aircraft: get a radar fix on the target. the computer projects a funnel of invisible photons centred on the target from the missiles launch place. the computer will keep this 'funnel' centred on the target. fire the missile. the missile can detect the photons and will alter fin positions to move towords the center of the photon funal. the missile stays on a direct corse fot the target. time from launch to impact: less than one second land: program the missile with a course to follow to reach its target. fire it ship/submarine: place a metal detector into the torpedo and program it to move towords the strongest signal in a paticuler direction
What is a backblast?
A backblast is a dangerous blast of hot air behind a rocket or missile upon firing.
Do 3rd and 4th generation IR surface to air missile require lead and elevation if yes then why?
Yes, 3rd and 4th generation IR surface to air missiles do require lead and elevation because these parameters are necessary for the missile to accurately intercept a target. Lead accounts for the target's movement, adjusting the missile's trajectory to intercept the target at the right point. Elevation ensures that the missile is launched at the correct angle to reach the target at a specific altitude.
How is a missile guided to its target?
Missiles are guided to their target using various guidance systems, such as inertial navigation, GPS, radar, or laser guidance. These systems continuously track the missile's position and correct its trajectory to ensure it reaches the intended target accurately. The specific guidance system used depends on the type of missile and its intended mission.
How does a missile work?
Missiles have a guidance system, a "brain" (computer), telemetry gear, warhead (or payload), fuel, and fins. They are either active, semi-active, or passive. Active means that they send out their own RF (radio frequency) trying to identify the target. Think of it as a dolphin trying to find a fish using echolocation. It's the same principle. The reflected RF is returned to the missile and its computer adjusts its current course accordingly to the target. A semi-active missile has a third party source transmitting RF towards the target and the reflection is returned to the missile. A passive missile uses RF emissions from the target as it's homing. Essentially, the target itself is telling the missile where it is.
What is the difference in an AIM-7 sparrow and an AMRAM?
The AIM-7 Sparrow is a semi-active radar guided missile. This means that the missile needs a radar lock on from the plane to guide it. The Aim-120 AMRAM is an active radar guided missile which means the radar is in the missile itself. The plane that fired it could explode into a million pieces and the missile will still track the target. Not only that, but the closer an AMRAM gets, the stronger the signal and the more likely it will hit. It's called "Fire and Forget" and every major nation is switching to that type of missile.
What happens when missile misses target?
It explodes somewhere else......BOOM!
What are the trajectories of Surface-to-Surface Missile?
The parabolic arc of a SSM is determined by both the launch and target site coordinates and the flight characteristics of the particular missile. Imagine throwing a baseball and then a frisbee to hit the same target - each will fly differently to accomplish the same goal.
