The RVV-AE medium-range air-to-air guided missile is intended for round-the-clock all-aspect engagement of various air targets such as fighters, bombers, attack aircraft, helicopters, military cargo aircraft and cruise missiles, against ground and water surface background, in harsh ECM environment. The missile features multi-target and “fire-and-forget” capabilities.
The missile can be carried on MiG/Su-type aircraft.
The missile guidance is combined: inertial with radiocorrection datalink at the initial leg and active radar homing at the terminal leg. It is powered with a fixed-thrust solid-fuel rocket engine.
The warhead is of a multi-shaped charge rod type. It is fitted with a laser proximity target sensor.
Folding lattice (electrically driven) fins is a missile’s distinctive design feature, which has no matches in the world.
