CARDE Velvet Glove

[SOC]

This was a proposed SARH AAM for the CF-105. They dropped it in favor of the active-radar Sparrow II, which was then dropped for the "proven" Falcon missile.

Velvet Glove was trialled in the early '50s, air launched from a CF-100. Have any images ever surfaced of the weapon, or accurate performance figures?
