Dart (missile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This class of dart was not replaced in the equipment of aboriginal arctic hunters such as the Aleut until fairly recently. This was a sling-launched dart, invented in 168 BC for the third Macedonian war, probably similar to hand-thrown darts of the period. Tranquilizer darts are related to the darts for blowguns, but include a hypodermic needle and a hollow reservoir resembling a syringe, which is generally filled with sedatives or other drugs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dart_(missile)   (1465 words)

Bristol Aero Collection Sea Dart destroyed seven aircraft in the Falklands War, and a Silkworm anti-ship missile in the Gulf War. The Polaris is a submarine-launched ballistic missile, capable of carrying an nuclear warhead. 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. www.bristolaero.i12.com /exmissiles.htm   (1401 words)

British Surface To Air Missiles The missile is propelled by a solid fuel launch booster which propells the missile to Mach 2, when a ramjet sustainer takes over. The missile is propelled by a Bristol Aerojet Blackcap soolid fuel motor. It is essentially a standard GWS25 missile with a boost rocket allowing thrust vectoring, which enables the missile to be manouvered as soon as it leaves the silo. web.ukonline.co.uk /aj.cashmore/.weapons/uk/.sam.html   (681 words)

Convair F-106A Delta Dart As on the F-102A, the all-missile armament was housed internally in a spacious ventral weapons bay that was closed by pneumatically-operated double-folding doors. All Falcon missiles were contact fused, with the fuses located on the leading edges of all four fins, so that a direct hit on the target was needed to score a kill. The pilot selected the missiles to be fired by using a switch on the left console, with the trigger that was used to launch the missiles being on the right hand grip. home.att.net /~jbaugher1/f106_1.html   (5998 words)

Army Technology - Starstreak - Close Air Defense Missile A pulse of power from the missile firing unit causes the first-stage motor to ignite, which accelerates the missile. The darts maintain a high kinetic energy as they are guided to the same single target. As the dart impacts the target, the inertial forces activate the delay fuse, allowing the warhead to penetrate before detonation. www.army-technology.com /projects/starstreak   (916 words)

Yorkshire CND - Fear and loathing in orbit - 29/4/05 The DART spacecraft was supposed to approach and delicately circle a target satellite on April 15, but it apparently became lost and began blundering around blindly, quickly exhausting its rocket fuel. Designed to collect close-up readings of missile exhaust plumes from an orbiting observation point, it was to carry a satellite that dove in closer to the climbing rocket - arguably an "attack vehicle" against enemy satellites. According to the April 13 issue of Defense Daily, Obering's reference to space-based missile interceptors was made in the context of the changing nature of the missile threat to the United States. www.cndyorks.gn.apc.org /yspace/articles/fear_and_loathing.htm   (1754 words)

D1709-03 Standard Test Methods for Impact Resistance of Plastic Film by the Free-Falling Dart Method This energy is expressed in terms of the weight (mass) of the missile falling from a specified height which would result in 50 % failure of specimens tested. By this technique, a uniform missile weight increment is employed during test and the missile weight is decreased or increased by the uniform increment after test of each specimen, depending upon the result (fail or not fail) observed for the specimen. One missile weight is employed for each group and missile weight is varied in uniform increments from group to group. www.astm.org /DATABASE.CART/HISTORICAL/D1709-03.htm   (501 words)

DART The DART was a ground-launched, rocket-propelled missile guided by a wire control line which unreeled from the missile during flight to provide continuous electrical connection between the missile and ground guidance equipment. Although 105 of these antitank missiles were produced, the system was never deployed.

OTO Melara Announces 100th Successful Test Firing Of 'DART' Missile System DART is launched from the 76 Compact and 76 Super Rapid gun systems developed by OTO Melara and now used by 54 navies, including the US Navy and US Coast Guard. "We are developing DART, which is guided by a radio frequency beam, and the unguided variant, ART, to provide cost effective tools for naval planners concerned about the threats posed by cruise and sea skimmer missiles now available to rogue forces and the 'small swarm boats' used by terrorists," said Howard Goldberg, CEO of OTO. Goldberg said the unguided variant, ART, is an ultra high speed missile, which, when combined with the 76 SR system's high rate of fire, will provide the best possible protection against a multitude of explosive-laden terrorist swarm boats attacking naval vessels. www.spacewar.com /news/2004/milplex-102804-1614-35.html   (405 words)

Global Defence Review : Defence Power Active weapon systems, guns and missiles are deployed in layers to provide added security in case the first line of defence does not succeed in neutralising the threat. Missiles provide the outer layer of defence and inner layers are pro-vided by a combination of guns and missiles. The fielding of long-range surface-to-surface missiles such as the Exocet and Harpoon in the 1970s led many navies to consider that the gun was redundant as a defensive weapon against surface threats. www.global-defence.com /1997/DefencePower.html   (1592 words)

Santa Maria Times DART successfully hitched a ride to space Friday morning aboard an air-launched Pegasus rocket that officials said placed it into proper orbit. DART was suppose to conduct its demonstration Friday night as crews at a Vandenberg facility monitored but weren't able to control the pre-programmed spacecraft. DART was designed as a low-cost mission to establish autonomous rendezvous capabilities for the U.S. space program, a critical tool for future exploration missions to Mars and elsewhere. www.santamariatimes.com /articles/2005/04/17/news/local/news02.txt   (507 words)

The Alaska Star: New sidewinder missile declared operable at Elmendorf 11/20/03 Elmendorf is the first base in the U.S. military where the AIM 9-X missile program has reached the operational stage, said Capt. Scott Stewart, Naval Air Systems Command program manager for air-to-air missiles. According to the Raytheon, developer of the AIM-9X, the missile is a launch-and-leave weapon with nearly over-the-shoulder firing capability. The range of the missile is about the range of sight, said Stewart, adding that could be anywhere from seven to 10 miles. www.alaskastar.com /stories/112003/mil_20031120019.shtml   (498 words)

Dart After launch, the Dart's bright tail-mounted sodium flare was optically tracked by the operator, who would send corrective commands via a spooled-out wire to keep the missile on the line of sight to the target. The Dart had comparatively large cruciform wings and fins for stabilization and control, and used wingtip spoilers for steering. The development of the Dart turned out to be much more difficult and expensive than originally expected, and in late 1956 the system was still far from ready for deployment. www.astronautix.com /lvs/dart.htm   (413 words)
