Active Radar Homing - The Guidance of the AMRAAM, MICA, R77 etc.

Active Radar Homing is the type of guidance of the AMRAAM and of the main air to air weapons in use in the world, like the French MICA, the European Meteor or the Russian R77.
In this video I try to explain the nuts and bolts of how the guidance works, trying to go beyond the usual list of components and the physical description of the missiles.
We will cover the guidance laws and the real life use of the weapons.
If you would like some animations that show well from a visual point of view how the guidance laws look like in reality, you can watch this video.
