AIM-9L Sidewinder

In 1971, the u.s. air force and navy agreed on the joint development of a new generation of Sidewinderu, which should be based on variants of the AIM-9H. The main objective was to develop a všerakurzovou anti-aircraft guided missile for use against sharply manévrujícím objectives. Its development was terminated in the beginning of the year 1975. Shooting tests (including shooting against the target PQM-102) were terminated 1. march 1975.
The engine of the rocket was the type Mk.36 Mod.8 (in later versions up to Mod.10). Guidance system AN/DSQ-29 had the sensor in the warhead with the sensor based on InSb (Indium antimonid) and cryogenic cooling with argon (USAF) or nitrogen (U.S. Navy). Completely new was even a warhead WDU-17/B with double-layer shell with předfragmentovanými shell fragments and filling of 9.4 kg of explosives. WDU-17/B is initiated by a laser intercept igniter DSU-15/B. Production commenced in 1976 and until their completion, gave the u.s. air force, navy, and users abroad about 16 000 missiles AIM-9L. The american producers were Ford Aerospace and Raytheon. The production of these missiles since the beginning of the eighties took place in Western Europe (in total there were produced about 3,500 missiles) and Japan (Mitsubishi). The main coordinator of european production was the German BGT, which alone to the missiles produced the guidance and control section. Other subcontractors included Snia Viscosa (fighting part), British Aerospace (wings, rudders, rollerony) and Raufoss Vapenfabrikk (rocket engine). Some of the components in Europe are not produced and were imported from the USA from Ford Aerospace. The initial operating capability version of the AIM-9L was for american users reached in 1978. Version of the AIM-9L/I-1 (AIM-9Li-1) is the German modernization with increased resistance to IR interference. Missiles AIM-9L were operationally deployed by the british armed forces during the fighting for the Falklands in 1982.
