Actually, the version of TSSAM being proposed for this competition was a derivative of the USAF/USN air-launched version, stretched to attain the necessary range. Doing the stretch itself was a very simple effort given the modular nature of the missile. I know, I was there.

I see that the turbojet powered variant of the Al Hakim/PGM-500/2000 family is missing?

Did the "Pegasus" missile appear at a date later than May of 1993?

Update from Air International October 1994:

GEC-Marconi/BAe Dynamics: Pegasus
McDonnell-Douglas/Hunting: Grand Slam (SLAM derivative, 5.3m length, 0.343m diameter, 1088kg weight, 450kg warhead, 343km+ range)
Rockwell: enhanced AGM-130 powered by turbofan
Matra: variant of a classified long range, single large warhead version of Apache
Aerospatiale: Asura (Air to SUrface RAmjet) higher speed conventional ASMP-C, Mach 3.0, 370km range.

range : 400km in 7 mn

total weight : 900kg
inertial guidage with FLIR

PEGASUS

 

[tround]

sorry

 

[GTX]

range : 400km in 7 mn
terminal velocity : mach 2
warhaed weight : 240kg
total weight : 900kg
inertial guidage with FLIR

I assume ASURA is the ASMP-C entry?

 

[tround]

It's the same missile .The " first " name was ASMP C .

 

[JFC Fuller]

On a similar theme, MANTIS was derived from REVISE rather than them being separate entries. REVISE was a submunitions ejector demonstrator BAeD developed (and captive flew under a Tornado) with the then Defence Research Agency:

REsearch Vehicle for In-flight Submunition Ejection

REVISE Plus was a planned family of stand-off weapons using the same basic (but possible larger) airframe- MANTIS ended up going full circle and was offered as a long-range stand-off anti-armour submunitions dispenser under the name AUTIS (AUtonomous Target Interdiction System).

From an AGM-130 google search, this looks like the turbofan -130E proposal.

I think the Turbo Popeye is in Typhoon to Typhoon.
