The AIM-7 Sparrow is an American medium-range semi-active radar homing air-to-air missile operated by the United States Air Force United States Navy and United States Marine Corps as well as other various air forces and navies. Sparrow and its derivatives were the West’s principal beyond visual range (BVR) air-to-air missile from the late 1950s until the 1990s. It remains in service although it is being phased out in aviation applications in favor of the more advanced AIM-120 AMRAAM.
