	Brimstone missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The missile is a development of Boeing's AGM-114 Hellfire and is designed to meet the RAF's requirement for a long range anti-armour weapon, allowing strike aircraft to attack tanks and armoured vehicles at stand-off range, replacing the BL755 cluster bomb.
		The first ground firing of the Brimstone missile occurred in August 1999 followed by the first air-launched firing Tornado GR1 in September 2000.
		Clearance of the missile was delayed by 12 months due to the unavailability of a Tornado trials aircraft, the RAF chose instead to rush the development of the Storm Shadow.

		Meanwhile, the NIT is tasked to integrate a wide range of multiple missile defense weapons platforms and sensors across the board to provide for a layered defense able to defeat enemy missiles in boost, midcourse and terminal phases of flight.
		However, the future of European missile defense is not in the hands of the missile manufacturers, but rests with the European governments which to date have been very reluctant to embrace U.S. missile defense plans.
		During the first firing from the Tornado, a message between the missile and Brimstone was garbled, and the missile misinterpreted where it needed to be and thought it had 5,000 miles to fly before reaching the target, McKeon said.
