Full-scale development has been on going since 2007.Once in production, the 89kg, 2.9m-long imaging infrared air-to-air self-defence missile will also compete against the American AIM-9X Sidewinder, the German Diehl BGT Defence IRIS-T, the European MBDA AIM-132 ASRAAM and the Israeli Rafael Design Authority’s Python 5.<img src="http://www.defenceweb.co.za/images/stories/AIR/A-Darter%20P3A%201st%20Test%20Manouevre2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
