aim-7 sparrow
AIM-7 Sparrow
Length: 145"
Weight: 503 lbs
Range: 62 miles
Speed: 3.7 Mach
The Sparrow is a semi-
active radar homing
missile. Originally
designed in the early
1950s, the AIM-7 is
nearing the end of
its service life.
Although its range and
speed are sufficient,
the Sparrow still
relies on the firer's
radar for guidance, and
it is being supplanted
by "fire and forget"
missiles such as the
AMRAAM.
