A USAF F-22 fires an AIM-120 AMRAAM Ramjet powered Meteor for Saab 39 Gripen, Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets. An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft …

Active radar homing (ARH) is a missile guidance method in which a missile contains a radar transceiver (in contrast to semi-active radar homing, which uses only a receiver) and the electronics necessary for it to find and track its target autonomously.

The MIM-104 Patriot is a mobile interceptor missile surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, the primary such system used by the United States Army and several allied states. It is manufactured by the U.S. defense contractor Raytheon and derives its name from the radar component of the weapon system.
