New algorithms could improve BVRAAM lethality

AIM-120 AMRAAMA team comprising Probayes and MBDA has investigated ways of improving the single-shot kill probability of beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles (BVRAAMs).

Carried out under the jointly funded Materials and Components for Missiles Innovation and Technology Partnership (MCM ITP) by France and the United Kingdom, the Guidance in Uncertain Shooting Domains (GUSD) project is intended to improve the effectiveness of air-to-air missile engagements by adding intelligent algorithms to both the aircraft and the missile.

The method of using the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) from the Tornado F.3 had been little changed from the BVRAAM firing procedures developed in 1965-1973 during the air war over North Vietnam.
