In the Bloodhound model five axes had to be resolved, yaw, pitch and roll of the missile relative to the earth and azimuth and elevation of the sight line relative to the missile.
Bloodhound was quite different, being of monoplane configuration employing twist-and-steer control rather like a normal aircraft, except it had no rudder and the elevator and aileron motions were achieved by rotating the main wings, both together and differentially.
Excluding those missiles which developed faults in flight, the engagement geometry obtained from the Woomera firing trials results was, in every case, easily recognisable as a possible member of the distribution given by the model, and in some cases the small sample of firing results was shown to give a misleading impression of missile performance.

  Bloodhound SAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A British Surface-to-air missile, Bloodhound was developed during the 1950's as the UK's main air defence weapon and was in large-scale service with the RAF and four other countries' forces from 1958.
Bloodhound 1 was used to protect the V-bomber bases and was usually installed nearby.
Bloodhound was also stationed abroad, and in 1970 (after the Royal Navy's Polaris submarines had assumed the strategic deterrent role) all systems within the UK were withdrawn and either stored or transferred to RAF Germany for airfield defence.

 Wattisham Mk. 2 Bloodhound Missile Site
The missile was given a larger warhead and had the ability to engage aircraft at higher and lower altitudes.
Missiles were placed in groups of six, on eight sided pads linked by servicing tracks, while the arming sheds were steel-framed, clad in corrugated sheeting and surrounded by earthwork revetments.
It was intended that Bloodhound should remain at Wattisham and West Raynham until 1995, but in early 1991 it was announced that the Bloodhound Force was to be stood down and the squadron was disbanded on 1 July that year.

The Bristol Ferranti Bloodhound Mk.1 was the first British surface to air missile system to be deployed to counter the Russian threat during the Cold War.
The Mk.1 was quickly superseded by the Bloodhound Mk.2, which had an improved response time, and served with eleven RAF squadrons until 1993.
The Missile Controller used the optical sight to follow the target, generating command signals which went by connecting cable to the missile control equipment mounted with the launcher.

Ballistic missileA ballistic missile is a missile, usually with no wings or fins, with a prescribed course that cannot be altered after the missile has burned its fuel, whereafter its course is governed by the laws of ballistics.
BloodhoundA British Surface-to-air missile, the Bloodhound SAM was developed during the 1950's as the UK's main air defence weapon and was in large-scale service with the RAF and four other countries' forces from 1958.
The missiles are launched with the aid of four solid fuel rocket motors inside boosters attached to the outside of the massive missile.

Fortunately, Bloodhound satisfied the demands of the White Paper which Duncan Sandys, the Minister of Defence, issued in April 1957.
At first Bloodhound was principally deployed in units 16 to defend V-bomber stations and bases for the Douglas Thor intermediate range surface-to-surface ballistic missile.
From 1971 Metcalfe was mainly preoccupied with Rapier, a ground-to-air missile primarily produced for the RAF Regiment It was designed to defend airfields against low-flying aircraft, and later employed by the Army for battlefield use.

 Earth Defense Force Missile
The missile was developed in 1998 as a complement to the SM-2MR Standard missile, and was adopted by the RDF upon its formation.
It was conceived in 2004 as a successor to the Hellfire and a complement to the Brimstone missile.
The missile was heavily used on Earth by the Southern Cross and in space by the REF. Though a large number of these missiles was shipped with the REF for use against Zentraedi, most remained in storage on Tirol as the actual enemy, the Invid, provided few targets for these defense suppression missiles.

 The Bloodhound SAGW system
Radar energy (continuous wave, replacing the Mk l's pulsed) reflected from the target is received by a dish antenna under the missile's nose cone and the Bloodhound is directed towards the point in the sky at which the enemy aircraft will be intercepted.
Changes in direction are achieved by moving the two wings in the centre of the missile body either differentially or in unison: the so-called 'twist and steer' principle.
A back-up stock of missiles is held close-by, ready to be bolted on to the launcher by a side-lifting vehicle.

 Missile Information
The development of the Bloodhound Mk2 surface-to-air missile (SAM) began in 1958, with the aim of improving the performance of the already successful Mk1 version.
Bloodhound Mk1 radars were based in fixed buildings, which made rapid deployment impractical and required a large scale build and site preparation programme if a squadron move was required.
The Bloodhound Mk2 was available as either a mobile or a transportable missile section.

 50 Missile Regiment
Launchers could be deployed with or without a missile and would move independently to their surveyed location and hide up, deploying at the last possible minute to fire the missile at the required time.
To transport the missiles the Troop had a fleet of trucks to carry the first line supply of missiles which was three per launcher.
The missile was what was known as a “Pre-packaged, bi-propellent, liquid rocket system.” The chemicals involved were extremely dangerous and numerous drills and procedures existed and were practiced in the event of a missile being punctured and leaking.

The effective anti-missile defences and the success of the Patriot system against Scud missiles constitute one of the practical lessons to emerge from the Gulf war which must call for a reappraisal of attitudes to what is known as star wars technology.
Indeed, I can remember well, in the 1970s, Bloodhound missiles being withdrawn from Germany and Cyprus to fill what was then considered to be a gap in our air defence.
Following the decision to scrap the Bloodhound at the end of this year, we have a highly effective short- range air defence system, a highly effective long-range air defence system in the form of the Tornado F3, but, as far as I can see, nothing in between.

 RAAF Museum: External Exhibitions: Bristol Bloodhound missile
The Bloodhound was intended to form a defensive shield around the United Kingdom to protect against strategic bombers, and as such was a long-range high-speed weapon capable of intercepting enemy aircraft at high altitude.
By 1968, the Bloodhound Mk 1 missiles were obsolete, and both elements of the squadron had been disbanded by the end of November that year.
The Bloodhound missile and launcher displayed outside at the RAAF Museum illustrates the launch arrangement of this weapon system, and the missile is fitted with its solid fuel booster rockets alongside the main section of the missile body.

The British Bloodhound missile of the 50s, designed to protect the V bomber bases, [dates???] was one such response.
So in addition to the cost of the missiles and the warheads came the cost of the silos; and silos which were difficult to defend, would be prime atom bomb targets yet next to large centres of population, housing a missile which might not be launched in time.
Altho the missiles were to be American, the submarine itself and the warheads were to be British [ a minor scandal erupted when it was disclosed that the Callaghan government spent close on a thousand million pounds on Chevaline, a MIRVed [Multiple Independent Re-Entry Maneouvering] warhead system without informing Parliament].

Bloodhound was part of an overall air defence system.
The bloodhounds at Rattlesden would have been controlled from the TCC at Watton (this has now been demolished) The TCC's were equipped with Type 82 Orange Yeoman radars which would track the hostile aircraft and transmit data to a fire unit once it was within range of its Type 83 target illuminating radars.
