Rafale missile specs...
Name
•
AASM
Weapon characteristics
• Range: in excess of 50 km for high-altitude release
and 15km for low-altitude release
• High accuracy thanks to INS/GPS navigation
• Armament length: 3 m
• Armament weight: 330 kg
The AASM is a new conventional weapon comprising a guidance kit
and a range-extension kit that transform a bomb body into a precision
air-to-ground weapon.
• Accurate, all-weather, stand-off, fire & forget, multi-target weapon
• AASM system is made up of 2 kits that equip the bomb body:
- a guidance kit, attached to the front of the bomb body, containing electronic equipment
and control fins
- a range-extension kit, attached to the rear of the bomb body, containing a solid
propellant booster and an aerodynamic unit that increases lift and allows stand-off firing
• AASM is available with three guidance variants:
- GPS/inertial
- GPS/inertial/infrared-image
- GPS/inertial/semi active laser
• Large footprint, even at low altitude with stand-off extended range and large
off-boresight delivery
• Controlled impact conditions and selectable angle of impact
Name
•
STORM SHADOW / SCALP
Missile characteristics
• Weight: 1300 kg
• Length: 5.10 m
• Propulsion: turbojet
• Navigation: INS, GPS and Terrain Referenece Navigation
• Warhead: blast / penetrator
• Range in excess of 250km
High survivability
Launched aircraft survivability is achieved through the missiles long stand-off range and low
observability.
Long flight time and sophisticated mission planning allow the missile to avoid enemy
ground-to-air defence systems.
High levels of navigation accuracy are provided by the INS, GPS and Terrain Reference Navigation
system.
Pinpoint terminal accuracy
A high resolution IIR seeker and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) ensure outstanding terminal
performance and minimises collateral damage.
Terminal effectiveness
Provided by high final dive and tandem lethal warhead including a precursor charge and a large
explosive / kinetic energy penetrator. The missile provides a choice of airburst, impact and
penetrative modes depending on the target to be attacked.
Minimal crew workload
Enabling single-seat aircraft to operate the weapon system
