S-225X

Length: 3.45m
Weight: 165kg
Range:100km

Stealth measures include the use of radar-absorbing paint coating, and infra-red attenuation.

The earlier winged RB73D/DL joint project used inertial guidance and either the Active Skyflash seeker or a new millimetric radar seeker from Marconi. Range was about 100km.

I have always wondered why this proposal ended up being somewhat shorter than the original ~3.7 meter Skyflash/Sparrow?

I wonder what the relationship was between the "new millimetric radar seeker from Marconi" and the seeker that found its way into AAAW/Brimstone?

Here is what i believe is a prototype/mockup, fitted to a Swedish JA 37D with IR-OTIS (Infrarött optroniskt inmätningssystem, English: infra red optronic measurement system, essentially IRST + FLIR) in 1997.
