	Bomarc Missile Crisis
		The decision of the Conservative government in 1958 to cancel the Avro Arrow and deploy two squadrons of the American Bomarc missile caused a crisis in Canadian defence policy (courtesy Canadian Aviation Museum).
		It was argued by some that the surface-to-air guided missile, with a range of 640 km, would be an effective replacement for the manned AVRO ARROW, which was also scrapped.
		Fifty-six missiles were deployed at North Bay, Ontario, and La Macaza, Québec, under the ultimate control of the commander in chief, NORAD.

	Bomarc Missile Program
		The Bomarc Missile Program was a joint United States of America-Canada effort during 1957 to 1971 to protect against the USSR bomber threat.
		It involved the deployment of tactical stations armed with Bomarc missiles along east and west coasts of North America.
		Bomarcs aligned on the eastern and western coasts of North America would theoretically launch and disintegrate enemy bombers before the bombers could drop their payload on industrial regions.

		It involved the deployment of tactical stations armed with Bomarc missiles along the east and west coasts of North America and the central areas of the continent.
		BOMARC and the SAGE guidance system were phased out in the late sixties as they were ineffective and costly.
		The supersonic Bomarc missiles were the first long-range anti-aircraft missiles in the world.

	BOMARC in California
		Testing started on the prototype missiles in June 1952 but the first launch didn't occur until 10 September 1952; from that point through 1958 there were hits than misses with the test missiles rarely working as advertised.
		The boundary wall foundations for the missile maintenance/assembly building are in place and obvious and if you move south into the field you'll find the broken up remains of one of the missile shelter floors.
		The missiles were housed on a constant combat-ready basis in individual launch shelters in remote areas.

	APOLLO MISSION CONTROL PHOTO PLUS
		The MX-1599 missile was to be a ramjet-powered, nuclear-armed long-range surface-to-air missile to defend the continental USA from high-flying bombers.
		Studies for a solid-fuelled missile with a maximum range in the 900-1400 km (500-750 nm) area were begun by the U.S. Army in 1956.
		In 1957, the studies had shown that the proposed missile was feasible, and in the same year a temporary DOD restriction which limited the Army's missiles to a range of less than 320 km (200 miles) had been cancelled.

		Six areas at BOMARC investigated under the IRP are: the Missile Accident Area (RW-01), the JP-X Discharge Pit (WP-05), the Transformer Pad T-15 (OT-12), the Former MOGAS underground storage tank (UST) (ST-15), Missile Launchers (OT-16), and the Neutralized Nitric Acid Pit (WP-17).
		During the missile accident, the fire-fighting, and the subsequent decontamination activities, radionuclides were transported by water and by air (smoke) off the Air Force facility, although not necessarily off military property, since they would have been transported onto the Range and Impact Area of Fort Dix.
		Missile Shelter 204 Area and Concrete Apron: The shelter housed the fire that caused the release of plutonium, and the concrete apron connects the paved driveway in front of the shelter with the drainage ditch.

	Cape Canaveral Rocket and Missile Programs:
		The Bomarc was designed to be housed in shelters having a roof that could split right and left down the middle, allowing the missile to be raised prior to a quick launch.
		On October 2, 1957, a Bomarc A launched from Cape Canaveral successfully flew to within lethal distance of a drone Navaho X-10 test vehicle flying nearly twice the speed of sound at an altitude of 48,000 feet.
		Boeing began delivering operational Bomarc missiles to the U.S. Air Force in 1957, with a total of 366 deployed by 1960 at bases which could house one or two 28-missile squadrons.

	Boeing CIM-10A "BOMARC" - United States Nuclear Forces
		BOMARC flight test operations began at the end of June 1952, but equipment shortages conspired to delay the first launch until 10 September 1952.
		The second BOMARC was launched from Cape Canaveral on 23 January 1953, and the third BOMARC flight followed nearly five months later, on June 10th.
		Bomarc -As were phased out in the mid-1960s, but beginning in 1962 some were modified and flown as supersonic, high altitude target drones (CQM-10a).

	Aftermath
		The Bomarc was an unmanned missile that carried a nuclear warhead.
		Bomarc, oddly enough in light of future rationales for the Arrow cancellation, was never designed to take out intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), but rather bombers that had slipped through the manned interceptor defence.
		The SAGE network which was designed to control the Bomarcs was susceptible to electronic jamming, a technology that the Russians were known to have.

	Construction
		During the test program, one "Y" missile had to be set aside due to target seeker problems; however, subsequent tests were successful and approval was given for implementation of the system.
		Because the BOMARC missile was designed to carry an atomic warhead, then Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker would not permit the warheads to be brought into the country, so the system was never fully implemented.
		In 1963, the BOMARC system was finally abandoned and declared obsolete, as the ballistic missile became a much greater threat to the United States.

	EMRR's OOP: Bomarc (#0657)
		I downloaded the plans for the#657 Bomarc from Jim Z's site, http://www.dars.org/jimz/est0657.htm The download included the balsa patterns and the dimensions for the two nacelle pylons..(1/4x1-1/2x3) The download did not include dimensions for the raceway, but I could pretty much scale the shape from the instructions.
		The Bomarc is a borderline stable model no matter how you build it, so be sure to check your cp/cg relationship.
		The Bomarc was somewhat of a challenge to build and a little more challenging to get it to fly properly.

		The controversial Boeing CIM-10B BOMARC nuclear-armed surface-to-air interceptor missile equipped 446 and 447 Squadrons in North Bay, Ontario and La Macaza, Quebec respectively for North American air defence from 1961 to 1972.
		The missile was initially guided from the ground and then switched to an internal seeker for the terminal homing phase of the flight.
		As indicated in 1971 White Paper on Defence; The BOMARC missiles sited in Canada were a relatively important contribution in the days when a full anti-bomber defence existed to defend urban-industrial targets as well as to protect the deterrent which consisted largely of the U.S. bomber force.

		They were under the wrong impression the missile would do the same job as the aircraft, at a fraction of the cost.
		The threat they are refering to is the intercontinental ballistic missile and the mistaken belief that the manned interceptor threat was diminishing.
		So, rather than try and meet all the NORAD requirements for Canada to have both planes and missiles, it was decided to concentrate on Bomarc missiles.
