The Meteor is a next-generation air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) rocket system designed for revolutionary air-to-air combat. Equipped with an advanced active radar seeker, the Meteor provides all-weather capability to engage a wide range of targets, from maneuverable fast aircraft to small unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles. It is designed to meet the most stringent requirements and operate in environments with strong interference and countermeasures.
The impressive characteristics of the Meteor are achieved through its unique ramjet propulsion system - a solid-fuel, adjustable flow, ducted rocket. This ramjet engine provides continuous thrust to the missile throughout its target interception, delivering the largest no-escape zone for any air-to-air missile.
