| − | Le programme de développement du missile 530 débuta au milieu des années 1950 et progressa du R530 d'origine au Super 530 D, en passant par le Super 530 F. Le R530 est basé sur l'expérience acquise par Matra (aujourd'hui MBDA) avec le développement du missile à guidage infrarouge R510 et du missile à guidage radar semi-actif R511 nécessitant l'éclairage de la cible tout le long du vol du missile. Ceux-ci étant utilisés par les Vautour et les Mirage III C (un exemplaire en position ventrale) de l'armée de l'air française, et l'Aquilon de l'aviation navale. Le R530 a été dessiné pour disposer de têtes de recherche interchangeable : une à guidage radar semi-actif pour la moyenne portée et une à guidage infrarouge pour l'utilisation à courte portée. Le R530 entra en service dans l'armée de l'air et l'aéronavale française en 1963 et sa production dura jusqu'à la fin des années 1970. Il est testé en avril 1964 à China Lake en Californie sur un F-8E de l'US Navy. Les tests reprennent le 26 juin 1964 avec le premier avion de série F-8E(FN) destiné à la marine française caractérisé par une perche de nez pour effectuer des mesures. Suite à des problèmes de fiabilité (taux d'échec de 65 % en 1980), il est abandonné en 1991.

| − | Les Israéliens avaient acheté un nombre très limité de R530 pour armer leurs Mirage III J. Ils les ont tirés à partir de 1965 contre des Mig 17 ou 19, lors de combats aériens fréquents sur leurs frontières. Le résultat a souvent été un échec, car les conditions de tir étaient « hors domaine » : les interceptions étaient réalisées à vue et à distance faible ce qui conduisit à un programme pour l'amélioration du missile.
| |
| − | | |
| − | La conception du Super 530 F débuta en 1968, afin de répondre à un appel d'offres concernant un missile air-air pouvant intercepter des bombardiers à grande vitesse et à haute altitude. En 1970, le contrat de développement du Super 530 devant équiper le Mirage F1, était notifié à Matra et le développement à grande échelle débuta en 1971, et fut suivi de tests sur banc d'essai la même année et d'essais en vol de la tête chercheuse semi-active AD26 de Dassault Électronique en 1972. La première mise à feu d'un missile contrôlé s'effectua en 1973 et les deux premières mises à feu entièrement guidées eurent lieu en 1974. Le premier tir à partir d'un Mirage F1 fut réalisé en 1976 et mit fin aux essais. Le contrat de production fut signé à la fin de l'année 1977. Le Super 530 F entra en service au sein de l'armée de l'air française en 1980 et le premier tir à partir d'un Mirage 2000 eut lieu en 1981. Le Super 530 F pouvait être monté sur différentes plates-formes tels que le Mirage F1 C et le Mirage 2000 équipé de radar Doppler multimode.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Le troisième missile de la famille, le Super 530 D (D pour Doppler) a été développé afin de permettre l'interception d'avions volant à basse altitude et était équipé d'une tête chercheuse à guidage radar semi-actif sur impulsion Doppler continue (''Continuous Wave (CW) Doppler''). Le développement du Super 530 D débuta en 1979 afin de répondre à une demande de l'armée de l'air française pour équiper le Mirage 2000 RDI (radar Doppler à impulsions en bande X), il coûta 1,3 milliard de francs français. Les tirs de Super 530 D guidés par radar RDI eurent lieu en 1984 et le système fut totalement opérationnel en 1987. Environ un millier sont construits dont 590 pour la France. Le 1<sup>er</sup> mars 2012, le dernier Super 530D de l'armée de l'air française a été tiré

| − | The 530 missile development program began in the mid-1950s and progressed from the original R530 to the Super 530 D, via the Super 530 F. The R530 is based on the experience acquired by Matra (now MBDA) with the development of the infrared guided missile R510 and the semi-active radar guided missile R511 requiring the lighting of the target throughout the flight of the missile. These being used by the Vautour and Mirage III C of the French Air Force, and the Aquilon of naval aviation. The R530 has been designed to have interchangeable search heads: one with semi-active radar guidance for medium range and one with infrared guidance for use at short range. The R530 entered service in the French Air Force and Naval Aviation in 1963 and its production lasted until the end of the 1970s. It was tested in April 1964 at China Lake in California on an F-8E of the US Navy. Tests resumed on June 26, 1964 with the first F-8E (FN) series aircraft intended for the French navy, characterized by a nose pole for carrying out measurements. Following reliability problems (failure rate of 65% in 1980), it was abandoned in 1991.

| − | The Israelis had bought a very limited number of R530s to arm their Mirage III J. They fired them from 1965 against Mig 17 or 19, during frequent air combat on their borders. The result was often a failure, because the firing conditions were "out of range": the interceptions were made at sight and at short distance which led to a program for the improvement of the missile.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The design of the Super 530 F began in 1968, in response to a tender for an air-to-air missile capable of intercepting bombers at high speed and at high altitude. In 1970, the development contract for the Super 530 to equip the Mirage F1 was notified to Matra and large-scale development began in 1971, followed by bench tests in the same year and flight tests by Dassault Électronique AD26 semi-active research head in 1972. The first firing of a controlled missile took place in 1973 and the first two fully guided fires took place in 1974. The first firing from a Mirage F1 was completed in 1976 and ended testing. The production contract was signed at the end of 1977. The Super 530 F entered service with the French Air Force in 1980 and the first shot from a Mirage 2000 took place in 1981 The Super 530 F could be mounted on different platforms such as the Mirage F1 C and the Mirage 2000 equipped with multimode Doppler radar.

| − | | |
| − | The third missile in the family, the Super 530 D (D for Doppler) was developed to allow the interception of aircraft flying at low altitude and was equipped with a search head with semi-active radar guidance on continuous Doppler pulse (Continuous Wave (CW) Doppler). The development of the Super 530 D began in 1979 in response to a request from the French Air Force to equip the Mirage 2000 RDI (X-band pulse Doppler radar), it cost 1.3 billion French francs. The Super 530 D shots guided by RDI radar took place in 1984 and the system was fully operational in 1987. About a thousand were built, including 590 for France3. On March 1, 2012, the last Super 530D of the French Air Force was fired.
