Sparrow and its derivatives were the West's principal <a href="/wiki/Beyond-visual-range_missile" title="Beyond-visual-range missile">beyond visual range</a> (BVR) air-to-air missile from the late 1950s until the 1990s. It remains in service, although it is being phased out in aviation applications in favor of the more advanced <a href="/wiki/AIM-120_AMRAAM" title="AIM-120 AMRAAM">AIM-120 AMRAAM</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The early Sparrow was intended primarily for use against larger targets, especially bombers, and had numerous operational limitations in other uses. Against smaller targets, the need to receive a strong reflected radar signal made it difficult to achieve <a href="/wiki/Radar_lock-on" title="Radar lock-on">lock-on</a> at the missile's effective range. As the launching aircraft's own radar needed to be pointed at the target throughout the engagement, this meant that in fighter-vs-fighter combat the enemy fighter would often approach within the range of shorter-range <a href="/wiki/Infrared_homing" title="Infrared homing">infrared homing</a> missiles while the launching aircraft had to continue flying towards its target. Additionally, early models were only effective against targets at roughly the same or higher altitudes, below which reflections from the ground became a problem. </p><p>A number of upgraded Sparrow designs were developed to address these issues. In the early 1970s, the <a href="/wiki/RAF" class="mw-redirect" title="RAF">RAF</a> developed the <a href="/wiki/Skyflash" title="Skyflash">Skyflash</a> version with an <a href="/wiki/Inverse_monopulse_seeker" title="Inverse monopulse seeker">inverse monopulse seeker</a><sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Both could be fired at targets below the launching fighter ("<a href="/wiki/Look-down/shoot-down" title="Look-down/shoot-down">look-down, shoot-down</a>"), were more resistant to countermeasures, and were much more accurate in the terminal phase. This basic concept then became part of the US Sparrows in the M model (for monopulse) and some of these were later updated as the P model, the last to be produced in the US. Aspides sold to <a href="/wiki/China" title="China">China</a> resulted in the locally produced <a href="/wiki/PL-11_(missile)" title="PL-11 (missile)">PL-11</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Japan_Self-Defense_Forces" title="Japan Self-Defense Forces">Japan Self-Defense Forces</a> also employ the Sparrow missile, though it is being phased out and replaced by the <a href="/wiki/Mitsubishi_AAM-4" class="mw-redirect" title="Mitsubishi AAM-4">Mitsubishi AAM-4</a>. </p><p>The Sparrow was also used as the basis for a <a href="/wiki/Surface-to-air_missile" title="Surface-to-air missile">surface-to-air missile</a>, the <a href="/wiki/RIM-7_Sea_Sparrow" title="RIM-7 Sea Sparrow">RIM-7 Sea Sparrow</a>, used by a number of navies for air defense. Fired at low altitude and flying directly at its target, though, the range of the missile in this role is greatly reduced because of the higher air density of the lower atmosphere. With the retirement of the Sparrow in the air-to-air role, a new version of the Sea Sparrow was produced to address this concern, producing the larger and more capable <a href="/wiki/RIM-162_ESSM" title="RIM-162 ESSM">RIM-162 ESSM</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=AIM-7_Sparrow&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sparrow_I">Sparrow I</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=AIM-7_Sparrow&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Sparrow I"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Douglas_XF3D-1_Skyknight_in_flight_with_four_AAM-N-2_Sparrow_missiles,_circa_in_the_early_1950s.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Douglas_XF3D-1_Skyknight_in_flight_with_four_AAM-N-2_Sparrow_missiles%2C_circa_in_the_early_1950s.jpg/220px-Douglas_XF3D-1_Skyknight_in_flight_with_four_AAM-N-2_Sparrow_missiles%2C_circa_in_the_early_1950s.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="149" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Douglas_XF3D-1_Skyknight_in_flight_with_four_AAM-N-2_Sparrow_missiles%2C_circa_in_the_early_1950s.jpg/330px-Douglas_XF3D-1_Skyknight_in_flight_with_four_AAM-N-2_Sparrow_missiles%2C_circa_in_the_early_1950s.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Douglas_XF3D-1_Skyknight_in_flight_with_four_AAM-N-2_Sparrow_missiles%2C_circa_in_the_early_1950s.jpg/440px-Douglas_XF3D-1_Skyknight_in_flight_with_four_AAM-N-2_Sparrow_missiles%2C_circa_in_the_early_1950s.jpg 2x" data-file-width="757" data-file-height="514" /></a><figcaption>Sparrow I's during tests on a <a href="/wiki/Douglas_F3D_Skyknight" title="Douglas F3D Skyknight">Douglas F3D Skyknight</a> in the early 1950s</figcaption></figure> <p>The Sparrow emerged from a late-1940s <a href="/wiki/United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">United States Navy</a> program to develop a guided rocket weapon for air-to-air use.

The airframe was developed by the <a href="/wiki/Douglas_Aircraft_Company" title="Douglas Aircraft Company">Douglas Aircraft Company</a>. The diameter of the HVAR proved to be inadequate for the electronics, leading Douglas to expand the missile's airframe to 8-inch (203 mm) diameter.

Compared to the modern versions, the Sparrow I was more streamlined and featured a bullet-shaped airframe with a long pointed nose. </p><p>Sparrow I was a limited and rather primitive weapon. The limitations of beam-riding guidance (which was slaved to an optical sight on single-seater fighters and to radar on night fighters) restricted the missile to attacks against targets flying a straight course and made it essentially useless against a maneuvering target. Only about 2,000 rounds were produced to this standard. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sparrow_II">Sparrow II</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=AIM-7_Sparrow&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Sparrow II"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sparrow_2_Missile.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Sparrow_2_Missile.jpg/220px-Sparrow_2_Missile.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="94" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Sparrow_2_Missile.jpg/330px-Sparrow_2_Missile.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Sparrow_2_Missile.jpg/440px-Sparrow_2_Missile.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5472" data-file-height="2326" /></a><figcaption>Sparrow 2 Missile</figcaption></figure> <p>As early as 1950, Douglas examined equipping the Sparrow with an active radar seeker, initially known as <b>XAAM-N-2a <i>Sparrow II</i></b>, the original retroactively becoming <i><b>Sparrow I</b></i>.

Even so, its kill rate was only 13% in combat, leading to a practice of ripple-firing all four at once in hopes of increasing kill probability. Its worst tendency was to detonate prematurely about 1,000 feet ahead of the launching aircraft, but it also had many motor failures, erratic flights, and fuzing problems.
