		Crotales (singular crotal from latin crotalum) are percussion instruments consisting of small, tuned metal disks, each about 4 in diameter with a flat top surface and a nipple on the base.
		The missile is armed with a focused blast and fragmentation warhead, initiated by an RF proximity fuse.
		The Crotale NG is equipped with a multi-sensor suite, including passive electro-optics and radar with built-in electronic counter countermeasures (ECCM) to engage airborne targets under adverse conditions of dense electronic warfare and hostile battlefield environments of nuclear, biological and chemical warfare (NBC) and smoke and dust screens.

	France Beefs Up Missile Defence At Nuclear Reprocessing Plant
		In reaction to the September 11 kamikaze plane attacks on the United States, the air force installed two batteries of Crotale ground-to-air missiles near the plant in northwestern France on October 26 and extended the no-fly zone around the site to 10 kilometres (six miles) from one.
		Crotale missiles have a range of eight kilometres and can reach an altitude of 300 metres (1,000 feet).
		The air force information service (SIRPAA) said the new Crotale missile system, consisting of a radar vehicle and a missile launcher, had been installed two kilometres from the reprocessing plant at the weekend.

	NTI: Country Overviews: Iran: Missile Chronology
		Based on official statements and missile tests, Iran is believed to be increasingly focusing on short-range solid-fueled missiles rather than long-range liquid- fueled missiles such as the Shahab.
		Some experts suspect that Iran is moving on to longer-range missiles such as the Shahab-4, though other experts are skeptical of Iran's success with the speed and evolution of the their missile program.
		With this, Iran embarked on a three-phase plan to develop ballistic missiles, the first phase involving 2,500km range missiles, the second using 5,500km range MRBMs, and the third phase, 10,000km range missiles, should be competed by the time Iran has refined its nuclear warhead models and brought them to a fully operational status.

	The Wednesday Report - Issue - TWR48V3
		Contrary to a recent Defence News report which states that "the Dutch government rejected the Oerlikon-Martin Marietta produced ADATS in favour of the French built Crotale", The Wednesday Report has learned that no such decision has been taken by the Netherlands' government and that the entire project is "on hold".
		As a result of the concerns of the Dutch parliamentary defence committee and the disruptive effect of the September election, there has never been a cabinet selection and the project today is, according to Netherlands embassy officials, awaiting further evaluation.
		Oerlikon Aerospace Inc. officials were reluctant to comment on the Dutch situation other than to say that the matter is still open, they are very much in the running, and that in their view, "an announcement is not expected in the near term".

		The Crotale P4R vehicles are fielded in two forms, the Acquisition and Control Unit (ACU) and the missile launch vehicle, also known as the firing unit.
		When the missile is launched, it is gathered onto its initial flight path by a combination of Infrared (IR) tracking of the motor and radar tracking of the missile's transponders.
		The Crotale vehicles are relatively large 4 x 4s with an unusual powertrain that does not appear to have a high power-to-weight ratio.

		The missile is capable of housing either a terminally active radar seeker, or the world's only long-range missile infrared seeker, and it is likely to be deployed with a mixture of both.
		Because of the missile's resemblance to the British Rapier SAM, some analysts have claimed that, with the exception of maximum range, the overall performance of the KS-1 is slightly better than the Tien Kung I. In actuality, the KS-1 is a derivative of the second (upper) stage of the antiquated HQ-2 SAM.
		Although the two missiles are nearly identical from a physical and performance standpoint, this matchup belongs to the PLA as a result of a better guidance system.
