This can only be done with the missile accepting data in the mid course
No?
IOG doesn’t need mid course guidance

How could it be an IOG shot if no sensor on the aircraft could see the aircraft ?
You know the plane can use data link just not the missile in flight
I think you lack an understanding of how this all works
Not true.
Yeah basically this but ASRAAM
Wingman aircraft gives datalink to launch aircraft carrying ASRAAM > Launch aircraft carrying ASRAAM gives the ASRAAM data from the wingman while it is mounted > ASRAAM is launched and does manuevers heading towards last known position derived from data.
Or just HMD or other sensors like RWR giving initial off-boresight position and then the seeker finds it fast with 90 degree Gimball

I’m not sure HMD itself can provide targeting data though, so if an aircraft is to the rear of the platform (beyond the ASRAAM’s gimbal limits), then I cannot imagine HMD solely can be used to shoot off a shot.
Id have to defer to someone else to confirm, but I cant think of any reason why it couldnt. I assume thats how the F-18 shot was achieved
Better to assume it was datalink. Why would an HMD be able to detect planes itself? It’s not like it features an IRST, radar, or some kind of optical scan to see where a target is.
