How do I know? Being curios I checked it’s Wikipage. It’s probably correct. Actually it’s closer to AMRAAM AIM-120 in function.

“Guidance: inertial guidance, mid-course update + terminal active radar homing”

It gets its initial targeting info from the A/C and then pops on its radar for the close-in intercept.

The “B” version has a modern AESA radar system.
