BAe Active Skyflash and AIM-120 AMRAAM (4693 words)
The Skyflash traces its ancestry to the AIM-7E2 and early models employed the airframe, powerplant and warhead of the E2, as the longer range of the AIM-7F was not considered necessary for the close-in interception role.
The follow-on to the Skyflash is the Improved Skyflash, the principal design changes were a series of upgrades to the SARH seeker and a Kinematic Upgrade program, which saw aerodynamic changes to reduce airframe drag and changes to the control system.
The wing actuators are embedded in the missile centresection, in the wing hub assembly.
