Sedjil (Persian: سجیل) is an Iranian air-to-air missile,[1][7][8] which is a "guided semiconductor radar", made in Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (by the organization of "Jahad-Khodkafai" [Self-sufficiency jihad]); which is in truth the changed-user of ground-to-air missile of HAWK. Sedjil's weight is approximately 500 kg, its length is 5 meters and its diameter is about 40 cm. The effective range of the missile is approximately 90 km. Its speed is estimated to be about 4-5 mach.[1]

After passing six years from Iran-Iraq War (and as a prolonged war, which led in shortage of weapons, etc. for Iranian forces), they felt the need of the related war-pieces.[1] Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force, applied an experienced-pilot, namely "Fereidun Ali Mazandarani" as the experimenter pilot in November 1986, and succeeded to synchronize the mentioned missile with the radar E.N./E.W.G-9, dedicated to fighter-planes. Likewise, at the mentioned action, the experts of "Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force" presented a related plan, too. The conversion plan and use of HAWK-missile was for the first time on 12 August 1986 with the name of "Project-Sedjil" by Ata'allah-Bazargan (a high-ranking military pilot) and also Fereidun Ali Mazandarani; and it was submitted to Iran-air-force;[9] This missile,[10][11][12][13] finally was designed and made on 4 April 1988.[14]
