5. AIM-120 AMRAAM
The AIM-120 AMRAAM incorporates an active radar with an inertial reference unit and a datalink microcomputer system.
In a typical Beyond Visual Range (BVR) BVR engagement, the AMRAAM is launched from a range of 20nmls plus and is then guided by its own inertial navigation system, while receiving guidance updates from the launch aircraft via the data link.
When it reaches the No Escape Zone a set distance from the target aircraft, the missile enters terminal guidance, where its own monopulse radar will track the target and guide it to impact.
