Other features: The Coral surface-to-air guided missile is designed to destroy aerial and ballistic targets as part of tiered medium-range air defense systems. The missile features a standard aerodynamic configuration with cruciform wings and control fins, ensuring high maneuverability during both the initial and terminal phases of flight. It is powered by a solid-propellant rocket motor engineered to provide high initial acceleration and maintain supersonic speed. The high-explosive fragmentation warhead is equipped with a non-contact radar or laser proximity fuze, ensuring the reliable destruction of aerial targets – including aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and UAVs – within a microsecond interception window. Its guidance and control system is a combined suite incorporating an inertial navigation system for the mid-course phase, complete with radio correction capabilities from a ground command post, and an active radar homing head for the final target acquisition stage, implementing a “fire-and-forget” capability.
