    Airborne Fleet Air Defense System - MSDF

    This was a program, possibly inspired by the B-1C and related proposals, to procure a number of P-3C based variants equipped with the AWG-9 Radar and the Phoenix missile (likely the AIM-54C ECCM/Sealed version), for the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.

    Sometime in the 1980s, CITEFA began development on an eventual replacement for the Roland I surface to air missile which was the Argentine Army's main SAM system. The resulting Halcon (Hawk) was similar in shape to the Roland missile, but somewhat longer. According to Jane's, it had a 7-km...

    FABMS and early versions of SAM D

    One of the most interesting periods in the development of the US Army missile systems is that between 1960 and 1975 or so when the US envisaged self propelled tracked missile systems very similar to those deployed by the USSR. Eventually the SAM D (later Patriot) emerged as a tracked launcher...

    Before they were canceled Lockheed recieved an order for 93 production F-12B LRIs to serve in the USAF Air Defense Command. I believe this photo from LM illustrates what a production F-12B would have looked like.

    UK AEW 1980s replacement competition

    Back in the 80s it was finally realised that the Avro Shackleton AEW was obsolete and later that the Nimrod AEW.3 project was very unlikely to work correctly. The UK Government and MoD went looking for a replacement and settled on the E-3D Sentry which entered RAF service in 1990. What were the...
