Passive radar homing is a type of missile guidance system that allows a missile to detect and track a target without the use of a traditional radar. The missile uses reflected signals from the target to determine its course and track its movements. This technology has been used in missiles since the early 1950s and has since become a popular choice for air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles.
Unlike traditional active radar homing, passive radar homing does not require the missile to emit a signal. Instead, the missile is equipped with a receiver that is capable of detecting radio frequency signals which are then used to detect and track the target.
These signals can come from the target itself, or from a transmitter that is associated with the target. This means the missile can track the target without the target being aware of it.
In order to achieve a successful hit, the missile must be able to distinguish between the signal from the target and other signals that may be present in the environment.
This is done through a combination of signal processing techniques, such as pattern recognition, signal-to-noise ratio measurements, and correlation techniques. The data from these techniques is then used to determine the course of the missile, which is then used to guide it to its target.
The use of passive radar homing has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its effectiveness and cost-saving benefits. This technology has been used in some of the most advanced missiles, such as the AIM-9X Sidewinder and the AGM-158 JASSM. In addition, it has also been utilized in unmanned aerial vehicles, allowing them to track and engage targets without the need for a traditional radar.
The Global Passive radar homing missile market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
High-speed anti-ship missile Kh-31A launched from the air. The Kh-31P is a medium-range supersonic anti-radiation missile that uses a scramjet with an integrated booster to achieve high supersonic speed in order to destroy enemy air defenses.
The Kh-31A anti-ship missile, which is a variant of the Kh-31P and has an active radar seeker, can cut through the cohesive and layered air defense of a big fleet of ships. The missiles use terminal homing and mid-course radar guidance.
The ARGSN-31 jam-resistant active radar guiding system, which can separate a target from a densely populated group, is fitted on the Kh-31A. A passive radar guiding system with a wide frequency range of operation is used by the Kh-31P.
There are various homing modes available for its seeker, such as external control and autonomous search. An opposing radar can irradiate the missile, allowing it to execute an evasive 10-g pull-up maneuver. The Kh-31P is a medium-range supersonic anti-radiation missile that uses a scramjet with an integrated booster to achieve high supersonic speed in order to destroy enemy air defenses.
