surface-to-air missile

This design was a double ended design with Sea Dart and Sea Wolf launchers fore and aft and the helicopter deck amidships. Did any other country look at amidships helicopter decks?

Have there been any suggestions of a ground or sea launched version of Meteor?

European missile manufacturer MBDA is starting to flesh out its plans for a common family of anti-air weapons, being supported by research funding from the UK Defense Ministry. The family, known as the Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAMM), is aimed at meeting tri-service requirements from...

Have just been reading through the excellent Monograph online about the US Mauler missile at the Missile Site in the US. Apparently the UK gave up its own equivalent of Mauler, a system called BAC PT 428, and then had to adopt the simpler Rapier when Mauler was cancelled. As far as I can gather...

In an old edition (about 1962-3) of the excellent annual Flight International missiles guide published in those days with drawings and photos I found a missile called Seacat 2, which looked similar to Roland, Rapier etc and was supposed to be a simple mount on the existing Seacat/Tigercat...

Interestingly, in the 1950s the Swiss Oerlikon company designed several surface-to-air missiles. Here are links to very few websites that contain any information on the projects: http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app4/mx-1868.html...

seems to have been a number of german short range SAM programmes in the late 1990's Perhaps for our german memebrs - BGT version of HFK/KV a two stage missile, with boster and coast to target second stage at mach-3 to a range of 12km. Photo below (JSWS-issue 30) others were DASA HKK/L2 missile...

The US Mauler system for point defence was also intended for the British forces, both in its land and sea versions. It is interesting to speculate what the system would have looked like in UK service. Even more fascinating is the BAC PT428 missile system, similar to Mauler, but cancelled in...

Two of my favourite "dud" weapons are Typhon (US long range naval SAM) and Mauler (US point defence SAM for naval and land use). It is clear from Friedman's RN Destroyers and Frigates that the RN also hoped these weapons might be winners as well. The RN had already flirted with Tartar and...

This was an air defense system based on the M1 chassis. ISTR it had two 25mm guns and ADATS missiles but I can't find anything on it.

Having been home ported at Port Hueneme, California since 30 November 1948, Norton Sound stood out to sea in June of 1962 bound for Norfolk, Virginia and ultimately to Baltimore, Maryland. She arrived at Norfolk, Virginia and was decommissioned on 10 August 1962, and was later towed to Baltimore...
