Whatever happened to this project? Seems like a fancy recoilless gun.

G'day gents
Can anyone please confirm the following -
'January, 11, 2011: The U.S Army has finally, after over a decade of development, and no orders, cancelled its SLAMRAAM anti aircraft missile system'
If so, this would have to emphasised the inability of the U.S military to be able to run...

Dear Boys and Girls, here is a picture with a caption in French of what I believe to be the Sikorsky S-61N full-size mock-up brought to the 1959 Paris Salon; it shows an aerodynamic saucer-shaped fairing covering the main rotor hub. The accompanying article describes the Sikorsky S-61N as being...

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...
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.

During the mid-1950s, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral Arleigh Burke sponsored a high-priority program to develop a naval intermediate range ballistic missile.
On November 8, 1955, the Secretary of Defense established a joint Army and Navy intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM)...
The Bell Model 309 King Cobra was an experimental attack helicopter based on Bell's successful AH-1 Cobra. The program was started in 1971 as an unsolicited response to the development problems of the Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne that was chosen for the US Army's Advanced Aerial Fire Support System...
Over in the Army Projects section of this forum I came across a thread on a declassified 1946 report of the U.S. National Defense Research Committee, Division 12, "Transportation Equipment and Related Problems." The report is a collection of scientific analyses and research on everything from...
I discovered the attached several years back while researching at NARA; I'm not an AFV guy, so I'm hoping the experts here can shed some light on it. The report dates from June 20, 1945. Does this tank project show up at all in "Firepower: A History of the American Heavy Tank" by R.P...

I’m looking for any further information and/or imagery (especially a plan/side/front schematic) of the US Army’s HMC T92 and GMC T93 heavy self propelled guns (Gun or Howitzer Motor Carriage) from the end of WW2. Both were mounted on the chassis of the T26E3 heavy tank with the T92 mounting a M1...
I stumbled across this ultimate ATV gun-buggy while looking for pictures of the Excalibur PGM for work. It’s the Standard Manufacturing Co. Excalibur/Vulcan gun system that was demonstrated to the US Army’s logistics exposition PROLOG '85.
It would appear to be a large Supercat style ATV fitted...
I found an interesting document while ago:
