It is requested by SSB/Airforce. It will also help the future weapon integration process of MIUS. BVR and WVR missiles are not competing with each other they are complementing each other.If it is going to have a long range Aesa radar as advertised, wouldn’t it be defeating the object by utilising a WVR missile? What can it be used to shoot? Unless it is to be configured to be used against AD missiles.
Wouldn’t it be more apt to use a BVR missile?
Both BVR and WVR missiles will be used as I wrote above. It is logical to first integrate the WVR missile and then work on the BVR missile.Studies started for the integration of national BVR and WVR missiles into UCAV platforms. We might see test launches from Akıncı this year. This will positively affect the Mius project.
