响尾蛇反辐射导弹(Sidearm)是美国海军在响尾蛇空-空导弹(Sidewinder)基础上改进的一种机载自卫式反辐射导弹,用来对付近程防空系统。 历史背景 朝鲜战争以来,各国的防空系统一直在稳步地发展。随着先进雷达技术的应用,防空系统的探测、跟踪和制导能力不断增强,有效性越来越高。这就要求战术攻击机具有相应的对抗措施,否则将难以生存。 The Sidearm is an airborne self-defense anti-radiation missile modified by the U.S. Navy based on the Sidewinder, which is used to deal with short-range air defense systems. Historical background Since the Korean War, the air defense systems of various countries have been steadily developing. With the application of advanced radar technology, the capability of air defense system to detect, track and guide is continuously enhanced and its effectiveness is getting higher and higher. This requires tactical attack aircraft have the appropriate countermeasures, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.
