It drove the seeker head into an expanded search pattern; thus you could fire the thing in lag as long as the seeker head could see the target and you weren't outside missile aerodynamic limits......I think. There was a SEAM/BST switch in the front and I think that the nws button was also used to slave the seeker head to the MCS? If this is bolleaux, please don't be too harsh as it was about 23 years ago!
I thought SWIFT was SideWinder Improved Flare Technology? And I know how it achieved that, but that might still be classified?
