	Bomarc Missile Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BOMARC and SAGE were phased out in the late sixties as they were ineffective and costly.
		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.
		The name Bomarc was conceived as a merge of the two organisations who played the most prominent roles in its creation: Boeing and the Michigan Aeronautical Research Center (MARC).

	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).

		The Bomarc was a winged missile stored horizontally in a shelter from which it could be launched, after being raised vertically through a sliding roof.
		Moreover, the Canadian Bomarcs are sited to defend the eastern part of North America whereas the preponderance of the US land-based strategic retaliatory forces is located in the mid-west.
		Manufactured in Seattle, Washington, this Bomarc served with the RCAF and the Canadian Armed Forces until 1972 when it was transferred to the Canada Aviation Museum.

		Bomarc also incorporated a fin, the tip of which acted as a rudder.
		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.

	Bomarc Missile Crisis
		With the Conservatives' fall in 1963 and the Liberals' return to power under PM Pearson, a decision was finally made to accept nuclear warheads for Canadian nuclear-capable forces, and the Bomarc warheads were delivered to their sites on 31 December 1963.
		Nevertheless, the decision was made reluctantly, and in 1969 PM Trudeau's new Liberal government announced that Canada would withdraw its ARMED FORCES from their nuclear roles.
		As part of this process the Bomarc missile was phased out of service by 1971.

	BOMARC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Because of the highly corrosive fuel used in the Bomarc A, the missile had to be fuelled before launch, which reduced reaction time considerably.
		The marginally improved Bomarc B used a solid fuel mixture and had a range of 200 to 250 miles.
		Hence, when Canada acquired the Bomarc B, it had to acquire nuclear warheads as well, otherwise the weapon was useless.

	EMRR's OOP: Bomarc (#0657)

		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.

	Boeing: History -- Jets and Rockets Take Off - Bomarc
		The supersonic Bomarc missiles (IM-99A and IM-99B) were the world's first long-range anti-aircraft missiles, and the first missiles that Boeing mass produced.
		Authorized by the Air Force in 1949, Bomarc was the result of coordinated research between Boeing (Bo) and the University of Michigan Aeronautical Research Center (marc).
		Bomarc was retired from active service during the early 1970s.

		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.

		The sole purpose of the Bomarc was to defend against attacking Soviet bombers, a threat that was inflated in U.S. intelligence estimates of the 1950s.
		On June 7, 1960, a Bomarc A at McGuire suffered an explosion of a helium pressurization tank, which ruptured the booster fuel tanks, causing a fire that destroyed the missile.
		Examples of both the Bomarc A and Bomarc B missile are on display at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

	The 6555th, Chapter II, Section 3, LARK, BOMARC and SNARK Operations
		As the LARK program ended, attention shifted to the BOMARC, which was being developed as a tactical surface-to-air weapon system by the Boeing Aircraft Company and its sub-contractors (e.g., the University of Michigan, Westinghouse, Marquart Aviation Corporation and the Aerojet Corporation).
		BOMARC operations began at AFMTC toward the end of June 1952, but the first missile arrived later than anticipated, and equipment shortages conspired to delay the first launch until 10 September 1952.
		Two tactical prototype BOMARCs were launched against a QB-17 target drone in October and November 1956, but the 6555th's people only played a supporting role in those tests and later contractor-led operations.

		The Bomarc missile resembled a small aircraft, with a pair of shoulder-mounted delta wings.
		The IM-99B version of the Bomarc had a first-stage Thiokol solid-fuel rocket motor in place of the liquid-fueled engine of the A. On September 18, 1962, the IM-99A and B were redesignated CIM-10A and CIM-10B, where the C prefix stood for "Coffin" which described the intercept missile's launch environment, i.e.

		The Bomarc missile is a Surface to Air Missile (SAM).
		Further, hybrid power has the ability to shift the CG of the rocket, when used with the Bomarc is actually a good thing, and would solve other issues (glide recovery) with the rocket.
		The rocket is based on the Bomarc build by both Estes (The old, original glider and non-glider versions), and NCR (Both glider and non-glider versions).

		Comparable figures for BOMARC are "over 200 NM" for the early model and "over 400 NM" for the advanced model.
		A BOMARC squadron with approximately the same number of missiles requires about 70 acres in fee and about 30 acres in easement, for a total of about 100 acres.

	The Avro Arrow.
		The Bomarc, in order to be successful, had to be armed with a nuclear warhead as it was not capable of directly striking an incoming missile.
		The Bomarc was intended to destroy enemy missiles by detonating its warhead in the vicinity of that missile.
		If the Canadian government purchased the Bomarc from the United States they would be able to determine where in Canada these missiles were deployed and they determined that the best places for such a deployment were Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec.

		Cooperation is even more important where the problem area is double-ended: where both contractor and military personnel perform the same job and are subject to the same safety hazards.
		Therefore, in the following discussion of one such area -- that of Bomarc transportation -- any references to slip-ups on the military end of the airlift are meant to be strictly non-partisan and objective.
		But at a tactical base, the distance between the airhead and Bomarc site is often quite a stretch, and the trailer must be rugged enough to take a long haul.

	Nicole's Arrow Page
		The BOMARC missiles were supposed to make manned interceptors like the Arrow obsolete, because they could do the same job, but would be cheaper and would reduce the human risk.
		One BOMARC base would cost $120 million to build and equip, and therefore, the cost of 10 would be $1.2 billion, but the cost of 100 Arrows would be only $375 million.
		In September of 1958, Avro had done their own secret assessment of the BOMARC's capability, and came to the conclusions that, because it was extremely vulnerable to carcinogenic jamming, it was dangerous, as well as useless.
