Field experts and Engineers, Please chime in your two cents on video corrections and further explanations on this comment so that people can learn more. Some things were omitted or simplified not to overcomplicate the production of the video and also the content itself, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't know about it. Thank you in advance.
Your description of proportional navigating was spot on, but there were some slight mislabellings in the graphics. The secondary mirror IS the gyroscope in the version shown. The entire optical assembly, that you correctly animated tilting, is spinning the whole time. This is how it stays pointed at the target during the proportional navigation. If the target bearing moves, a force is required to change the orientation of the optical assembly to re-centre it and this command is also fed back to the control system to drive the fin actuators.
Your explanation of the rollerons was quite clear, but the animation shows them pivoting the wrong way to correct the clockwise roll. They need to pivot in the same direction as the roll, to generate torque in the opposite direction and cancel the roll. If you think through their spinning-gyroscope operation, and recall that they’re rolling backward, not forward like bicycle wheels on the ends of the fins, their movements will become clear.
If the shutter disc actually is constructed the way it is shown in the video, then the claim that frequency of the light pattern passing through it changes with how far from the center it passes is wrong. The shutter disc will block the light a specific number of times per second, and as long as the RPM stays constant the number of times per second the light will be blocked (ie the frequency) will be the same. I suspect you just made something up here because you don't know how it works. Both you and I would prosper if an expert could explain the actual conversion of the angles of incoming light into control signals. What is the function of the "shutter disc"? What is the structure of the optical sensor (a "quadrature detector" or some such?)
@@davebowman6497This is in fact how it works. The seeker doesn't "see" a shape, it detects a spot of higher IR brightness. When the spot is sufficiently close to the center it will always have some part "visible" through the disk. When it's not centered the seeker only detects it intermittently. This is why there are three tones; seeking (hiss or low buzz), target detected (buzz), and locked (beep).
Brother i just checked out 8 videos on how the infrared guidance works but no one explained it your video was the only one that did explain it in details thank you so much
My step dad was involved in the development of this and many more missiles in the 50s and 60s at China Lake Naval Weapons Center (aka NOTS back then). He was head of the Propulsion Development Department. He told me one of the main challenges was making sure the missile didn’t fly towards the sun.
They didn’t have ic circuits back in the 50s. I’d have liked to see a description of how they used tubes and valves in a purely analog system back then
@@its_jjk They definitely used tubes, I saw an AIM-9B seeker head in a surplus store in the Bay Area in the 80's there was still one tube attached to the back of the head. Most of the signal processing was done by using multiple windings in the casing surrounding the gyro/spinning telescope assembly. One set of windings drove the gyroscope, another could be driven to cause the telescope to change view angle, one sensed the position of the telescope, and a fourth provided pulses that could be used to steer the fins.
Hi, great animations! I started my PhD in missile heat seekers, never finished it, but anyway. I was working with rosetta scaners, it is a different seeker, but AM reticles are my favorite type of seeker. For those wondering how the AM reticle actually works, here’s an explanation: For an AM reticle to function, the target image must cover at least one full reticle sector. AM reticles cannot handle point sources (unlike FM reticles, which can). As the reticle spins, it modulates the light intensity. Half of the reticle is semi-opaque (50%), while the other half consists of interleaved transparent and opaque sectors. It is the semi-opaque portion that enables phase detection (azimuth). The amplitude of the modulation indicates how far off-boresight the source is. It is pretty much a one pixel "camera". The video kind of mixes the some of the concepts of AM and FM reticles. If you would like to make a video with more accurate details, please, get in touch. I would love to help!
Great video, subscribed. A lot of information in less than 12 minutes. I would like to see more videos on how things work or a detailed follow-up on the sidewinder, but I know these aren't easy to make.
5:52 Why would the frekvenci be higher at the center? It is spinning wheels with angular velocity constant for every radius. In the middle, the shading element moves slower, but is smaller and the number of he element is constant.
I have seen an old sidewinder up close (late 80's). What wasn't mentioned was that the Rollerons were stored inside the hinged surfaces so they don't flap around when the missile is carried around on the aircraft. They were sitting loaded and popped out, to the position showed on the video, to activate only after the missile was fired off the rail. The release mechanism was even better as they had a strong holding each pair of opposite rollerons stopped. The string was going across the rocket motor exhaust. So when the pilot fired the missile, burner through the strings (looked like a cross) and released the rollerons.
i always wondered how would they work when they are carried by the aircraft, were they always spinning? but that could make some unnecessary wear on the rollerons so i ended up thinking, well, maybe they were made heavy enough so they wont be spinning all the time, i thought that since the aircraft never goes as fast as the missiles do so maybe the air that was going trough them wasnt enough to make them spin but i always had that question, this is something you dont find easily even on the internet, thanks for the knowledge.
This is one of the most informative and easy to understand videos on this topic. I found this video on my for-you page, and it caught my attention. Would love to see more of these military/engineering animations. You've earned a sub today!
Thank you for posting! I had no idea that the detection system was so rudimentary!! It's brilliant in its simplicity though. Also easy to see why stealth technology was useful.
1971. AIM9G, tubes. 1975 AIM9H the first solid state version. NWC was a cool place to work back in 1974. Planar arrays and the microprocessor now dAIM9X.
I love being able to see these everyday. We usually load an AIM-9M, AIM-9X, and 2 AIM-120C AMRAAM’s on our F-16s. The rollerons, thrust vectoring motors, moving fins, and the big ol guidance system in the front section poking out are really cool to see right next to my face lol
@@TheAlgorithm733 improved versions of the aim 9 for example, i worked for the royal Netherlands Air force up till may 99, after that they had better improved versions of the aim 9 that could not trick the infrared of the missile not get fooled by flairs
5:54 I believe that the tone here isn't from a higher "frequency" its a digital tone played when the seeker is "uncaged" and the AIM-9 is self tracking a target
Very briefly worked on a Sidewinder upgrade around 1984, they wanted to develop a way to recompress the coolant to extend the range of the missile. Argon was not mentioned so it may have been nitrogen...
old version of sidewinder seeker technology is very old Retro technology , now days , in sidewinder X version has a 2D image array sensor and digital analyzer computer to detect enemy.
This was an interesting video and I really enjoyed it, it helped me understand more how missiles work and how the rollerons and guidance actually functioned.
What most are not aware of is the aim 7 and 9 were products of Hughes Aircraft Company who brought it from the USN lab to an operational weapon. HAC produced this system through the late 1990's.

Fantastic! Thx. I never understand how they achieved tracking in 1950s. Very clever :D
at 5:33 when the "red plane" is either in the middle or further away how does the missile or the computer know how much it should steer? okay it knows the frequency but how does it know the side it should steer at?
This is just my guess, but since the seeker scans around the pitch changes, assume the control system knows which direction the seeker is pointing it can steer the missile to the direction.
I believe it could be possible to use the phase difference of the signal, as in you generate a signal that oscillates at the same frequency as the conical scanner speed and then detect the difference is phase between the detected signal and the reference oscillator signal, because the scanner is moving upwards on lets say the right side and downwards on the left, thus depending on which side the enemy aircraft is of the missile the phase difference will be leading or lagging depending on whether the aircraft is on the left or right side. The same method could be used for top and bottom as well.
Hi, Nice video but at 5:30 there is an error. If the turning reticule pattern is the one presented, the generated frequency f (Hz) is equal to rotation speed v (round per sec) times the number of slits N on the pattern : f= v N and thus is independent from the position of the aircraft image on the reticule leading to a constant frequency f. Something is certainely wrong in your explaination ... Despite that, very ineteresting video.
I wish you would have included the AIM-9X, with thrust vectoring of a solid rocket motor, and the ability to acquire and attack high off-boresight targets. Really cool video, though.
Управление вектором тяги, достигается перемещением интерцепторов, установленных со стороны сопла двигателя.

Took about 2 months and 10 hours a day to research, model, shade, texture and animate the entire thing. 400Gbs of Render data too. But I really love tech and good engineering, so it was a fun ride.
An ok explanation of proportional navigation. Misses a lot of fundamentals but aleast its mentioned and you didnt give the crappy “oh and the flight computer computes the intercept course” (which isnt informative and leaves people scratching their heads on HOW it achieves said task. PN = delta(global theta of target) * gain. Tpn which is better is TPN = delta(global theta of target * distance * gain. And so on. You have APN, EPN, ZEMAPN, ZEM, ZEMEPN. There are tons of formulas to calculate an optimal interception course.
The missile knows where it as all times. This is because the knows where it by subtracting where it isnt with where it is, and where it is with where it isnt.
The rotating reticle in the seeker could not operate as depicted. No matter where the IR source is located, the frequency of the signal will always be the RPM of the reticle times the number of slits on the reticle. Your diagrams at 6:07 show amplitude modulation, not frequency modulation. This video is riddled with errors.
Reticle is wrong. Half of it should be fully black. That's how aircraft angular position is detected, by waveform phase not the conic scan. That's for searching for a potential target and tracking it. Also, radial position changes modulation amplitude not the frequency.
You're absolutely right, that's my bad. The reticle should be black on one side. I simplified it for the sake of the animation. It also helps with background noise like clouds and countering flares.
The missile can shoot down friendly aircraft as well. The missile itself doesn’t know what’s friend of foe. All it knows that it was launched towards a target and hopes it doesn’t got dud
😂😂, they actually used to test the missile with a flashlight if it works correctly before launch, and it was said it used to lock-on to cigarettes when it was being developed in the office. But once it locks on to an aircraft it's not likely for a burning wood to fool it.
I thought it knew where it is by because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.

This video has some real weird claims in it: Claims that if the light passes the spinning "shutter disc" close to the center, the frequency will be higher than if it passes further out. Either the depiction of the spinning disc is wrong or this claim is fslse. When discussing the warhead it is said that the explosives are at the center of the warhead. Yet the graphics shows a hollow center and the explodives surrounding the center. When explaining the rollerons the rolleron movement to compensate for an unwanted roll is shown in the wrong direction. Looking from behind, the missile rolls clockwise. The compensation move of the rolleron, as shown, would increase the unwanted toll rather than mitigate it. Anyone thinking they are enlightened by this video should rethink that.
Amused that you yourself posted a short featuring only the rollerator portion of the animation and pinned your own comment to the top admitting that the animation was backward... And so many have replied arguing with you about your own comment on your own animation. :)

IS there anyways to make a bird seeking missile?
If the that Missile was chase me and I burn wood will the missile lose me and it will hit the wood ?lmao
😂😂, they actually used to test the missile with a flashlight if it works correctly before launch, and it was said it used to lock-on to cigarettes when it was being developed in the office. But once it locks on to an aircraft it's not likely for a burning wood to fool it.
Depends on the heat signature,the missiles follows biggest heat source
Only if you have enough time to light your wood
@@jakub-games1899 not always, the 9M and later had IRCCM technology that helped them not do that
Considering it's been in service for 68 years, shouldn't it have achieved a success rate better than 70% by now?
Dang, someone send this to DEstin from Smarter Everyday 😂
I thought it knew where it is by because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
Good presentation, but please check your spelling on enemy and receiver…
Cool

Why'd you say aluminium wrong?
This video has some real weird claims in it:
Claims that if the light passes the spinning "shutter disc" close to the center, the frequency will be higher than if it passes further out. Either the depiction of the spinning disc is wrong or this claim is fslse.
When discussing the warhead it is said that the explosives are at the center of the warhead. Yet the graphics shows a hollow center and the explodives surrounding the center.
When explaining the rollerons the rolleron movement to compensate for an unwanted roll is shown in the wrong direction. Looking from behind, the missile rolls clockwise. The compensation move of the rolleron, as shown, would increase the unwanted toll rather than mitigate it.
Anyone thinking they are enlightened by this video should rethink that.
Built by Boeing? Now that would be a concern for the pilot launching a Sidewinder!
Amused that you yourself posted a short featuring only the rollerator portion of the animation and pinned your own comment to the top admitting that the animation was backward... And so many have replied arguing with you about your own comment on your own animation. :)
