Default774 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The AIM-120 exhibits very erratic control response when guiding onto targets that make sudden maneuvers. This behavior can be shown best by using a NASAMS site and firing JSOWs at it. The JSOWs make a small maneuver a few miles from the target provided they have enough energy. In response to this maneuver, the missiles proceed to massively overcorrect and oscillate, sometimes causing the missile to miss. 120_err.trk 120_err.acmi 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a small tacview between myself in an F16 and an F15 (Zipper 1-1). Missile is guided to pitbull and then decides it no longer wants to track and oscillates.

Missile was outside of gimbal limits so it was essentially flying dumb on INS. It was barely defeated by kinetics. null Edited July 8, 2023 by okopanja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
