What is no escape zone missile?

No-Escape Zone. The No-Escape Zone is the zone within which there is a high (defined) kill probability against a target even if it has been alerted. This zone is defined as a conical shape with the tip at the missile launch. The cone’s length and width are determined by the missile and seeker performance.

What type of warhead does the amraam AAM have?

Can the Air Force use new AIM-260 missiles to defeat long-range aircraft?

Alternatively, the Air Force could rely on the combination of its new AIM-260 with low-observable launch platforms — the F-22 and, to a lesser extent, the F-35 — to defeat aircraft with notionally longer-range missiles. Such an approach, however, will not work with the fourth-generation F-15 and F-16 jets.

How do aircraft defend against IR missiles?

An aircraft can defend against infra-red missiles by dropping flares that are hotter than the aircraft, so the missile homes in on the brighter, hotter target. In turn, IR missiles may employ filters to enable it to ignore targets whose temperature is not within a specified range.

How can we defend against long-range missiles?

Existing long-range missiles could easily overcome defensive systems by fairly simple means, such as firing more missiles than the adversary has interceptors, or by using countermeasures, like decoys.

What is the difference between the AIM-120 and the Meteor missile?

The European missile has greater range, and more importantly, remains powered during the final stage of a medium- to long-range engagement. This is because the AIM-120 is powered by a solid rocket, while the Meteor uses a ramjet sustainer engine.
