AIM-7A Sparrow I
AAM-N-2 Sparrow I
In 1947, the US Navy commissioned Sperry to develop a radar guidance system for an unguided missile HVAR caliber 127 mm so that it becomes an anti-aircraft missile. The diameter of 127 mm soon proved to be too small, so Douglas was commissioned to develop a new missile airframe with a diameter increased to 203 mm. The new missile was given the designation AAM-N-2 in 1948. The first flight tests with prototypes AAM-N-2 took place in 1948. After a lengthy and demanding development of the first fire using a missile guidance system occurred on December 3, 1952, when a missile fired from an aircraft piloted by LtCdr CC Andrews hit and destroyed the target F6F-5K. The missile in the US Navy reached operational capability in 1956. It formed the armament of fighter aircraft F3D-1M Skynight, F3D-2M Skynight a F7U-3M Cutlass. The missile was guided to the target using the beam of the aircraft radar, which captured the target. The radar of the parent aircraft had to irradiate the target throughout the flight of the rocket. This method of guidance thus eliminates runoff to maneuvering targets. Another disadvantage was that the guidance system was coupled to the optical sight of the parent aircraft, which in practice meant use only at short distances with direct visibility of the target. The Sparrow I missile was manufactured by Sperry in Bristol (Tennessee) at 2,000 units (according to some sources, only 1,000), which lasted only a very short time in the Navy. The production of this version was terminated in 1956. As part of the unification of the designation of individual types of armaments of the US Armed Forces, the AAM-N-2 was renamed in 1963 to AIM-7A.
