Q

detonation mechanism of a Sidewinder

A

IR proximity fuse
- a fuze that detonates an explosive device automatically when it approaches within a certain distance of its target. Proximity fuzes are designed for elusive military targets such as airplanes and missiles, as well as ships at sea and ground forces. This sophisticated trigger mechanism may increase lethality by 5 to 10 times compared to the common contact fuze or timed fuze

Q

infrared homing

A

passive weapons guidance system that uses infrared lgiht emission from a target to track and follow it seemlessly
- passive devises which, unlike radar, provide no indicatino they are tracking a target
- so used for sneak attacks
- aka “heat-seakers” but technically just infared seeking since infared is radiated strongly by hot bodies
