This topic deserves it's own thread - starting off with my favorite S.A. artillery prototype, the LEO or G7, it was part of the 'Losvoor" (far ahead) artillery program. The aim was to achieve all that could be done by 155mm artillery (range, lethality) within a 105mm artillery piece while still...

"Longhorn" has been proposed to include a turbofan engine in a lengthened AGM-65F airframe. This version would be 3.35 m long and could have a range of about 75 km. Mid-course guidance would be inertial with GPS, while IIR or active MMW radar terminal seekers could be used.

This is supposedly a joint Japan/US project using the Independence class as a starting point, although it seems to me to have inherited some features from at least one MSDF related project of the late '80s/early 90s. First of class to enter service in 2018, which would suggest that it's to be...

I thought we already had a THAAD related topic, but I can't find it, so I'll put this old [1992] Thiokol Corp report on the SPBD booster program here.

Finnish Air Force Aircraft Codes - Two-Letter System I've been trying to compile a complete list of Finnish 2-letter aircraft codes. No doubt I'm reinventing the wheel and there's a full listing out there somewhere ... but I haven't been able to find it. The 2-letter system seems to be the...
