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 (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...
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...

The only mention I have seen of the surface launched version of AIM-54 was a brief mention in Gunston's Rockets and Missiles where he says that "In 1976 a virtually unmodified Phoenix was successfully fired at NWC China Lake traveling 13.5 miles downrange in 90 seconds..." He also mentions that...
While searching for information about the ASTROS artillery system, I came across a series of articles on Brazil's rocket and missile programs on the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora website (http://www.ecsbdefesa.com.br/defesa/). There's quite a bit of info on a series of obscure projects...

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...

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...
In the early to mid 1970's the German navy was experimenting with the navalization of both the Gepard SPAA gun system and the ROLAND-II surface to air missile system. I was wondering does anyone know if these systems were ever tested successfully and ever used? I remember seeing them in a old...

Firstly, this is based upon known discussions with the RN, known systems that were proposed and/or existed at one point or another and known sketch designs performed. However these have been combined together to form a single coherent platform that is representative of what could have been built...

I found this proposal for a British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) Rapier SAM system incorporated into a West German Marder MICV chassis, in a copy of a 1972-73 Jane’s Weapon Systems, which I purchased the other day in a second hand book shop.
This Rapier/Marder project looks a very thorough thought...

Thales Air Defence - the company that was formerly Shorts - is about to announce a new missile programme. Known as the Lightweight Multi-Role Missile, it is apparently intended to take the company beyond its traditional field of light SAM systems. Details will be officially released on 2 June.

Hello Im new to this site so please bear with me if this post is a little naive. It seems that the uk lacks a medium to high altitude missile intercept capability whilst being reasonably served at lower altitudes by rapier and sea wolf. Am I correct in thinking this or out of date, I am ignoring...
