AIM-9B Sidewinder - Andrei Darlau
Introducere
The AIM-9 Sidewinder is one of the most iconic air-to-air missiles in aviation history, renowned for its pioneering use of infrared homing technology. I am recreating the B variant (characterized by a narrower tracking cone and a limited maneuverability envelope), a design choice dictated by current hardware constraints and available sensor fidelity.
This project simulates the missile's complete engagement sequence, from target acquisition to terminal guidance and detonation.
Descriere generală
Flow of the missile's functionality:
- The AMG8833 thermal camera acquires the target (the highest thermal value / hottest pixel) and sends its coordinates to the Ballistic Computer (Arduino).
- The Ballistic Computer articulates the fins by actuating the SG90 servos, actively guiding the missile toward the heat signature.
- Since direct kinetic impact is not guaranteed, the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor acts as a proximity fuse. Upon reaching a critical threshold distance, it triggers an interrupt, detonating the simulated warhead (acoustic output via the speaker).

Jurnal
Sursa de tensiune imi dadea 11V in loc de 5V si doar 2 servo-uri au supravietuit, deci mai am de montat cele 2 servo-uri si scris cod, racheta ca design si asamblare e aproape gata.
