F-14 and F/A-18 aircraft. The AIM-120 is an AUR that consists of a guidance section, armament section, propulsion section, and control section. The guidance section consist of a radome, seeker components, electronics unit, inertial reference unit, target detection device, batteries, power converter, and related harnesses and hardware. The armament section includes a WDU-33/b fragmenting warhead, Mk-44 booster, and a FZU-49/B safe and arm fuze (SAF). The propulsion section consists of a dual-thrust, solid-propellant, low-smoke, rocket motor, a blast tube and exit cone, and an arm/fire device (AFD). The control section includes four independently controlled electromechanical actuators, four thermal batteries, a data link assembly, and associated hardware. The control surfaces are locked in position by gas pressure-operated mechanical locks during ground handling and captive carry. During launch, a pyrotechnic gas generator creates enough gas pressure to unlock the control surfaces. REVIEW NUMBER 3 Q1. Within the radome of the Sparrow III missile, what feature receives and interprets the radar energy reflected from the target? Q2. Q3. Q4. Q5. Q6. Q7. Q8. Q9. Q10. What part of the Sparrow III missile provides control signals and mechanical energy to move external control surfaces that guide the missile? To what part of the Sparrow missile is the DRTM attached? Name the aircraft from which the Harpoon guided missile is launched. The Harpoon missile is less susceptible to radar detection because List the sections of the Harpoon missile. Sidewinder missiles are equipped with _________ target detection. List the five mjor components of the Sidewinder missile. By what means is the S&A device aligned? What feature of the Sidewinder missile provides aerodynamic lift and stability during flight? Phoenix Missile The tactical AIM-54C Phoenix (fig. 3-11) is an air-launched, air-to-air guided missile that employs active, semiactive, and passive homing capabilities. The AIM-54C is used as a long-range, air-intercept missile launched from the F-14 aircraft. It is equipped with the AWG-9 Airborne Missile Control System Figure 3-11.—AIM-54 Phoenix guided missile (typical). 3-14
