Notes: The SAHV-IR is a SAM made by combining the Crotale with the IR seeker of the Darter AAM and a better, high-performance engine. It has utility against aircraft, tactical missiles, and smart munitions, with a higher speed and better target acquisition and tracking capabilities. Several different methods are guided for different countermeasure environments, including active and passive radar and IR. The combination of Radar and IR also allows a LOAL (Lock-On After Launch) capability; the SAHV-3 missile can be pointed in the general direction of the target, get a minimal bearing using IR, then lock on with radar after the missile has been launched. It also allows a shorter minimum range than can be normally used with radar homing missiles.

SAHV-3 is also an improved model of the Crotale, though not as advanced as the SAHV-IR; it uses the improved engine, but not the combination IR/radar seeker head.
