jugasa77 Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 What is the range for terminal guidance flag? How many nautical miles? Does it depends of the range of the weapon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncepulido Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I think the same range fixed for all Active Radar Terminal Guidance missiles, remember perhaps 10 nm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 For missiles against air targets it should be when less than 10 seconds from the target. Against other targets it should be when less than 30 seconds from the target. seeker_range = (missileSpeed * 30) / 3600; if (is_air(target) || is_missile(target)) then seeker_range = (missileSpeed * 10) / 3600; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And AGM-84D Harpoon has a terminal guidance of 561 * 30 / 3600 = 4.675 nautical miles. Aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I wouldn't bet on it being exactly that range (i.e. could be a second of travel closer to the target before entering terminal guidance) but your examples are on target.

jugasa77 Posted April 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 And what about IR/laser guidance? AA-10 Alamo B has IR/laser guidance, range of 25.6 miles and speed of 2008 knots. Is it pursuing enemy target all the way starting at launch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
