Abstract :
The fulfilment of hit to kill performance in air defence scenarios against highly manoeuvring targets can be obtained by using a millimeter wavelength seeker with a dedicated ldquohit to killrdquo guidance. The use of a phased array configuration allows to have the benefits of the electronic scanning. The features of this technology permits to counteract complex threats. So it could be an interesting choice for the systems that have to meet asymmetric threats (aircraft, cruise missiles, TBM,...).
