Functionalities of Imaging Infrared (IIR) seeker

• IR

• Operation during day and night

• in adverse weather conditions

• ability to change course during mid-flight

  • The ability to change its course during mid-flight is especially crucial to moving targets

• uses iir seeker to track moving or stationary targets

• shoots back images of target scene back to launcher

• allows operator to adjust trajectory in real time

• allows switching between targets and abort mission

• high accuracy

• pin point targets

• minimize collateral damage and civilian death in urban warfares

• IIR Seeker very resistant to laser jamming

• latest generation IR missile use imaging technology and processing algorithms to determine target

• IIR seeker has ability to fight flares

• fire and forget

• not required to monitor target
