Research on Development Status and Key Technologies of Stealth Air-to-Air Missiles

Abstract

With the rapid development of military aircraft self-protection technology, the difficulty of air-to-air missile attacking air targets is increasing. It is necessary to enhance penetration capability by using all kinds of advanced technologies to ensure the hitting accuracy in future high-tech air combat. Air-to-air missile stealthy technology is one of them. This paper comprehensively analyzes the necessity of developing stealth air-to-air missile under the conditions of modern war, and discusses the signal characteristics and reduction measures of air-to-air missile in details, as well as the research status in related fields abroad. At last, the preliminary idea of developing stealth air-to-air missile in the future is put forward.
