(NSI News Source Info) February 27, 2009: Denel has completed the first series of test firings of its A-Darter short-range air-to-air missile, performing several boost-assisted launches at its OTB test range in mid-February. 
The A-Darter is a fifth generation short range infrared homing air-to-air missile designed and manufactured by the South African firm of Denel Aerospace Systems (formerly Kentron).
In 2006 it was announced that Denel would use the latest solid-state inertial measurement unit, the SiIMU02 from BAE Systems for mid course range guidance.
Denel Dynamics says the firings "successfully evaluated the missile's manoeuvrability and high g-force characteristics", while "parallel tests of its seeker head's ability to track targets were equally successful".
