Notes: The original Rb-04 was the first active radar homing missile of the post World War 2 period, and only the second such ASM ever devised. It is a large missile with wings that allow is to fly for a very long distance to hit its target. Though work on the Rb-04 began in 1948, it was not until 1958 that the Rb-04C entered squadron service with the Swedish Air Force. The Rb-05D model was introduced about 4 years later, with an improved engine for more range. The Rb-04E came into service in 1968, and has improved guidance and a more powerful warhead.

Notes: This is a simple command-guided missile using a blast warhead and a hardened nose penetrator. The Rb-05A is unusual for a command-guided weapon because of its supersonic speed; this would normally render a command-guided missile difficult to control, but the microprocessor on the Rb-05A and the radio link is fast enough to allow such performance. The Rb-05A is highly resistant to jamming (two levels more difficult). Rb-05B and Rb-05C were supposed to be TV and laser-guided versions, but the Swedish decided to go with the Maverick instead.
