The evolution of Multi- Mode Guidance Systems brought hitherto unheard-of freedom for missile operations. These systems create a single platform by aggregating several guidance technologies including laser, infrared, and radar guidance. By use of this integration, missiles can defeat several forms of electronic warfare operations and adjust to changing environmental conditions. The capacity to fluidly alternate between guidance modes has greatly raised mission success rates and lowered vulnerability to countermeasures.
