A-Darter uses BAe Systems guidance systems

In late September 2006 Denel Aerospace Systems selected BAE Systems’ SILMU02 solid-state inertial measurement unit for midcourse guidance of the A-Darter missile.

South Africa’s Denel Dynamics is responsible for the imaging-infrared seeker for its A-Darter. The seeker is derived from the IR-seeker of the 3rd-Gen U-Darter. A-Darter reportedly carries a 17 kg warhead (compared to 9.4 kg for the AIM-9L/M).
