The
Misagh 1 is an Iranian man-portable infrared guided surface to air missile.
It was developed by the Shahid Kazemi Industrial Complex in Tehran and
is an all-aspect passive infrared homing system. It is a variant of
the Chinese QW-1 Vanguard missile system, which is based on the Russian
SA-16 Gimlet 9K310.
The Misagh-1 missile weapon system has been improved remarkably in fast
reaction, attacking mode, guidance system, propulsion system, etc.,
while still retaining the main characteristics of previous portable
anti-aircraft missiles, such as flexibility, maneuverability, easy operation
and fire-and-forget homing. This missile weapon system, with excellent
technical efficiency and combat performance, meets the needs of modern
war.

| Design |
This system
is comprised of; the missile in its disposable launch tube,
a grip-stock firing unit and a replaceable battery/coolant
unit which is mounted towards the front of the launcher all
of which is contained in its transportable packing case.
|
| Missile |
| The
missile is guided by proportional navigation to the impact point
with the target, whereupon a target adaptive homing circuit
cuts in just before impact to ensure maximum damage is caused.
Once the missile is launched, the gunner is free to seek protective
shelter or make ready for the next engagement.
|
| Operations |
Normally
operated as part of a two-man team the gunners can, on the march,
carry the system on their backs by means of a harness. The operating
sequence is as follows. The gunner is alerted by visual detection
of a target. The assistant then selects a firing site and removes
the front and rear covers of the launcher tube and raises it
to the shoulder firing position. If identified as hostile, the
firing trigger is depressed part way to activate the electric
battery and coolant bottle to provide power and gas to the missile's
systems. The gunner then aims at and tracks the target until
continuous audio and visual signals are received. These indicate
seeker lock on. The gunner then sets the lead angle and depresses
the firing trigger all the way. Between 0.3 and 0.8 seconds
later, the booster motor sends the missile out of the firing
tube to a safe point where it is jettisoned and the dual-thrust
sustainer motor kicks in to power the missile in flight.

| Combat
use |
The
Misagh-1 missile weapon system is a portable shoulder-fired,
anti-aircraft weapon system against low and very low altitude
targets by sudden attack in all directions. The target could
be a high speed jet plane, a propeller-driven aircraft or an
armed helicopter. It is a powerful weapon for air defense of
pivotal points and covering field troops operation. |
