AIM-120 AMRAAM Air-To-Air Missile Live Launch from F/A-18 Super Hornet

Take a ride along in an F/A-18 Super Hornet from VFA-41 Black Aces during the live fire of an AIM-120 AMRAAM Air-To-Air Missile. This is an exercise shoot to build proficiency and training for the squadron prior to deployment in 2016.

    Alex... Keep them vids coming... Pretty awesome to see the missile leave the rail................THAT fast! You're not slugging along and that baby "flies" off in a split second. So cool. Glad to not be on the receiving end. Fly safe! Randy "C-17A"

    The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater. It obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
