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.
