It uses semi-active radar homing to engage targets at both ultra-high and low altitudes in a variety of countermeasure environments. With a range of over 20 nautical miles and speeds up to Mach 2, Skyflash is primarily intended for beyond visual range missile combat but can also be used at shorter ranges if needed.

Skyflash

Skyflash is a medium-range, all-weather, air-to-air missile able to engage targets at ultra-high or low level in a variety of countermeasure environments. The missile uses semi-active homing, where the launch aircraft illuminates the target and the missile uses its own radar receiver to home on the reflected energy. Although Skyflash is primarily a BVR missile, it can also be employed at shorter ranges to ensure quick reaction times and maximum manoeuvrability after it has been launched.
