A Beyond Visual Range
missile usually refers to an
air-to-air missile that is capable of engaging at ranges beyond 20
nautical miles (37 km). This range has been achieved using dual pulse
rocket motors or booster rocket motor and
ramjet sustainer motor.In addition to the range capability, the missile must also be capable of tracking its target at this range or of acquiring the target in flight. Systems in which a mid course correction is transmitted to the missile have been used.Early air-to-air missile used passive
radar guidance, that is the missile used the radiation produced by the launching aircraft to guide it to the target. The latest generation of BVR missiles use a combination of semi-active and active radar.
