surface-to-air missile

Anyone know if AN/TPY-5(V)1 is a marketing exercise to rename the latest variant of the Marine AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) or is it a new radar?

Ive seen the Blowpipe in its original configuration the one mounted on land rovers (as well as the submarine one), but this..? its a bit unusual! Could be just a concept/proposal, or even a prototype? The image was taken out of the MACH 1 magazine, where an article detailed the operation of...

Something that's always struck me as odd was the lack of longer range RIM-67s on these nuclear powered Frigates/Cruisers, was it simply cost cutting or was there a deeper philosophy behind their design?

Is there a SAM today that can kill a target at 446 miles and over 100,000 feet? (It's a rhetorical question. There isn't.)

Dear Colleagues, although this subject appeared in numerous discussions and publications, can you explain to a layman how an SNR-125 Low Blow managed to get a lock on an F-117 and to shoot it down on 27 March 1999? Can this kind of radar operating on the I/D band indeed lock on a stealth plane...

FOG-M vs QUH-1 :cool: lucky shooter Jane's Land-Based Air Defence 1992-93

Is there any record of little-known US Army missile projects from the early 1950s? Considering that the RV-A-22 designation was allocated to Lark missiles used by the Army sometime between 1951 and 1953, and that the missing US Army missile designation numbers 20 and 21 must have been allocated...

Just starting a generic thread here to discuss possibilities and programs. Saw the following in an AvWeek article: "These include a new family of interceptor missiles called SkyFire proposed by Raytheon; hypervelocity projectiles designed by General Atomics, Boeing and BAE Systems; a laser gun...

On quick check it seems we don't have a thread on Sea Slug and it's development. Often people mention a inline boosted option instead of the wrap around boosters. Yet I seem to recall that there were worries over rocket gases causing problems with the beam rider guidance. Would be nice to...

I wonder if anyone with a first or second edition copy of Janes Weapons Systems (1969 or 70) could help me track down an image showing a Marder like mock up of a US MICV design for the 1967 MICV competition. I photocopied it some years back from a Library copy (now no longer available) and...

I read that the Mk. IV version of the Bloodhound SAM was to be a mobile version. Anyone got any further details?

I am utterly confused about the original French plans for the deployment of this missile, the wiki page for the Suffren class destroyers states that six ships were originally planned and that this became two batches of three (the second tentative?) then just two ships when the money for the...

Stinger MANPADS are being modified to avert obsolescence and add some new capabilities such as the proximity fuze but the end of it's use and service is foreseeable. I´ve read about the "Future Stinger Capability Working Group". What covers behind this group? Are there any new planned systems...

ERINT-1 ERINT (Extended Range Interceptor) was a part of the Strategic Defense Initiative’s Theater Missile Defense Program. The US Army contracted for a prototype missile and launch control system to defend against cruise missiles, aircraft, ballistic and tactical missiles. The capability was...

here some projects i've seen yesterday at İDEF 2015 wanted to share XQ-06 loitering ammunition

The primary contractors on this late 1980s program were MBB, AEG and Siemens. Unfortunately it fell prey to the post-Cold War peace dividend, being cancelled in favour of what originally had been a stopgap program as far as Germany was concerned, the US led Advanced Tactical PATRIOT, later to...
