	THE CRV7 M261 ROCKETS
		The CRV7 is a highly reliablesystem that offers greater stand-off range, higher kinetic energy and superior accuracy when compared to other availble rocket weapon systems.
		The CRV7 rockets are driven by a solid fuel rocket engine, with a spiral shaped exhausted to give it stability.
		The CRV7 is an Area weapon, with an effective range of 3000 to 4000 meters.

	CRV7 Rocket
		The CRV7 is the leading 2.75" unguided rocket system available today.
		It offers greater stand-off distances, higher kinetic energy and superior accuracy to both fixed wing and helicopter users.
		With a 99% reliability, almost 800,000 of these cost effective rockets have been produced.

	CRV7
		The CRV-7 is a 2.75 inch folding-fin ground attack rocket produced by Bristol Aerospace in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
		Compared to the US MK4/MK40 Mighty Mouse rockets the CRV7 replaced, the higher energy fuel and newer fuselage design led to a longer and much flatter trajectory, and twice the energy on impact.
		The CRV7 had just been introduced into Canadian Air Force service when it was entered as a part of a general competition in France.

		In one way the CRV7 was nothing more than a rocket motor weighing 6.6 kilos to which a variety of 70mm warheads could be attached.
		The CRV7 had an effective range of over four kilometres, three times that of any other rocket in its class, travelling over a kilometre in the first second of rocket burn.
		Fitted with a tungsten tip a CRV7 could penetrate the armour of any tank in the world - even the soft steeled training head would go through 15 centimetres of steel plate or half a metre of concrete.

		The CRV7 is a 2.75 inch folding-fin ground attack rocket produced by Bristol Aerospace in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
		When it was first introduced in the early 1970s it was the highest performing 2.75 inch (70 mm) rocket (the standard US size) in the world, the first with enough energy to penetrate standard Warsaw Pact aircraft hangars.
		The CRV7 was an offshoot of earlier research at CARDE into high-performance solid fuel rockets in the late 1950s, performed as a part of a general program studying anti-ballistic missiles.

		This program led to the Black Brant rocket, and CARDE and Bristol decided to use the same propellant and engine design for a new 2.75 inch (70 mm) rocket motor.
		Compared to the US MK4/MK40 rockets the CRV7 replaced, the higher energy fuel and newer fuselage design led to a longer and much flatter trajectory, and twice the energy on impact.

		Would it be possible to create a small helicopter UAV, like "Fire Scout", about the size of a Little Bird/Kiowa/Gazelle or similar in the class of ultra-light scout helicopters, capable of mounting sensors to report surveillance/recce information back to a ground station, and capable of taking aloft significant weapons.
		I was thinking along the lines of an M134 minigun either under or built into the fuselage, and 2 pylons either side to mount either CRV7 rocket pods (1 pod) or Brimstone antiarmour missiles (3/4 missiles).
		Perhaps in a push these pylons could even be converted as benches to allow small numbers of soldiers to be inserted quickly, or to allow stretcher cases to be casevac'd.

	Guardian \| The Apache helicopter
		US pilots have been instructed only to use the missiles mounted on the left side of the aircraft during actual combat conditions, as there is a danger of debris hitting the tail rotor which is also mounted on the left.
		The British have encountered similar problems with their CRV7 rockets - which the Americans do not use - with the debris this time hitting the aircraft's rear stabilisers.
		Designers having been looking a series of possible modifications but may in the end have to rely on the Apache being rugged enough to survive the damage.

		Being shocked that Canada was selling air-to-ground rocket launchers to Thailand, a country with an unsavoury record of serious and systematic human rights violations, the Christian Mission decided to fax the material to the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade, in Ottawa.
		This presumably eliminates the nastiness involved in seeing the blood and gore as shrapnel creates collateral damage by penetrating the skin of screaming "soft targets." The faceless bureaucrat at Foreign Affairs whose indecipherable signature graces the export permit form, hence allowing this sale, is even farther removed from the point of impact.
		In their eyes, Canada's CRV7 weapons launchers would be very useful for wiping out their own pro-democracy groups.

		UK Royal Air Force (RAF) Harrier GR.7A ground attack aircraft have launched seven air strikes in Afghanistan since early May in response to increased insurgent activity there.
		An RAF spokesman told JDW that the attacks all involved the use of CRV7 70 mm unguided rockets and Raytheon Enhanced Paveway laser/GPS guided bombs.
		Coalition forward air controllers directed the attacks, identifying targets and clearing the RAF Harriers to release their weapons, said the spokesman.

		As a side effect of this work, Bristol entered a partnership with Aerojet General from the US, and became Bristol Aerojet the same year.
		This work was later applied in the early 1970s to a new 2.75" (70 mm) motor for use in US-standard rocket launchers, leading to the CRV7, which has since become the standard 2.75" rocket in "the West".
		During the 1970s the company continued to be involved in overhaul and maintenance work, and the CRV7 became a major product line.

	UK highlights Apache delays: UK report
		A UK-specific secure communications system will also initially lack the ability to share voice and data information with many other UK aircraft types and some ground troops.
		The aircraft's ability to deploy its primary armaments - AGM-114 Hellfire anti-armour missiles and CRV7 70mm unguided rockets - without risking damage to its tail rotor and horizontal stabiliser assembly also continues to raise concern.
		Actions under consideration to address this issue include weapon system modifications, restrictions on the use of some weapon stations, and airframe changes.

		Apache's defining weapon is the 30mm cannon which can put down pinpoint-accurate fire at a rate of 625 rounds a minute.
		When larger area cover is called for, or when enemy buildings need to be knocked out, there are hellfire missiles and CRV7 rockets.
		Which means that the Apaches can destroy targets up to 12kms away.

	The SEPECAT Jaguar
		Over 600 combat sorties were performed by RAF Jaguars during the active air war, roughly the same number as AdA Jaguar sorties.
		They often carried CRV7 70 millimeter unguided rocket pods, as well US-built CBU-87 cluster bomb units, though since these were longer than the traditional British BL755 cluster bombs only one could be fitted on a pylon; two BL755s could be carried in tandem.
		It is interesting to wonder if the RAF and AdA Jaguar pilots are inclined to certain cameraderie, in contrast to the sense of irritation, not always subtle, between the two countries over a joint development program that did not work as well as might have been hoped.
