From www.army.mil PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. -- During a firefight, the last thing a machine gunner wants to do is stop fighting to change barrels, but that's how it has always been done with standard, single steel-barrel machine guns. The reason for the barrel change is that at high temperatures...

In 1959, the U.S. Army Ordnance Missile Command (AOMC) suggested the development of a medium-range heavy assault weapon. The Office, Chief of Research and Development indicated that no firm requirement existed for the weapon. In February, McDonnell Douglas Corporation began work on the BRAT...

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...

Fun. I liek the C-5A for scale. Clearly we need a folding wing C-5C to fit below decks. ;D

Over the course of the life of the Talos system in the USN, the SPG-56 and SPG-61 Missile Fire Control radars were developed to replace the SPG-49 used to guide the Talos missile. Prototypes of each were built but these radars were never introduced into service. Either one would have, no doubt...

I came across the following article from an old Janes Fighting Ships (1969 edition I believe) If these vessels had been realised, what effect would they have had? No doubt there would have been an impact on the later LHA prgramme. Fast Deployment Logistic Ship (FDL): 40,500 tons (FL) 855 x 104...

Conical ABM missile made quite a stir in the 80's gossip's then quickly faded from vogue. Wish I knew if any ever went into service and what became of them. Seems a few made to to museums I would love to pick one up from a remote desert aerospace boneyard....

It would drive the cost sky high and ensure it never got built. And 90% of the targets wouldn't require it anyway. The US is even retiring it's best cruise missiles (the stealthy AGM-129) rather than convert them to conventional. Not sure why. Only thing I can come up with is the idea of...

I can't remember where I read about it. The story was in the end of World War I or in the early 1920s in the USA a very heavy bomb was designed, build and test. But the plane, for which this bomb was designed, never get into the service. Only after many years they build next bomber capable for...
