Reading back through this thread, I'm not sure if SARH is a totally accurate description of the GD missile's guidance mode.


For example:




That sounds much more like the AEGIS midcourse guidance scheme, where the missile gets guidance cues from the external radar, which in this case is essentially doubling as an in-band datalink. Each pulse seems to function as both an monopulse illumination signal and a tracking data update. In this case, the quasi-SARH guidance may be significantly more ECM-proof, because it can change signal characteristics pulse to pulse, and is giving the missile a target location update even if the actual return form the target is swamped by jamming.
