	M47 Dragon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The effective range of the Dragon was 1000 meters, with the rocket traveling 100 meters per second, guided by an infrared sight.
		The Dragon was upgraded to the designation Dragon II in 1985 when its penetration effectiveness was increased.
		The launcher system of the Dragon consists of a smoothbore fiberglass tube, breech/gas generator, tracker, bipod, battery, sling, and forward and aft shock absorbers.

	FM 23-24 Chptr 1 Introduction
		The Dragon ammunition is an expendable component (Figure 1-9), consisting of the missile and launcher.
		The guided missile launcher mount (Figure 1-10) provides a stable platform for firing the Dragon missile from the M113 APC and the M3 or M122 machine gun tripods.
		Leaders selected as Dragon instructors must be proficient Dragon gunners and be familiar with all aspects of Chapters 6, 7, 8, and Appendix B of this manual.

	M47 Dragon Medium Anti-tank Weapon System
		A few Dragons were fired during combat, but the missile was considered to be "a weapon of last resort" due to difficulty when aiming, exposure of the gunner to enemy fire, and the missile's inability to penetrate the latest add-on and reactive armors.
		The Dragon's ammunition is an expendable component consisting of both the missile and the launcher itself.
		As the missile leaves the launch tube, the infrared flares begin to operate, and the command-link wire is dispensed from the missile.

	Dragon FGM-77A
		After the missile was launched from the closed tube by a solid-fuel ejection charge, the operator had to keep the cross-hairs in his sight on target.
		The Dragon missile was stabilized in flight by three flip-out tail fins, and controlled by multiple pairs of small rocket motors on the side of the fuselage.
		However, the missile was essentially obsolete then, and the drawbacks, including no protection for the operator and inability to defeat the most modern armour, became all too obvious.

		The missile is equipped with an imaging infra-red seeker which is based on cadmium mercury telluride (CdHgTe) focal plane array technology in the long wave infra-red band at waveband 8 to 12 microns.
		The missile is mounted on the Command Launch Unit and the gunner engages the target using the sight on the CLU, by placing a curser box over the image of the target.
		Once the missile is clear, the larger propellant in the second stage is ignited and the missile is propelled towards the target.

		The missile is equipped with an imaging infrared seeker which is based on a cadmium mercury telluride (CdHgTe) 64 x 64 staring focal plane array in the 8 to 12 micron waveband.
		The missile is mounted on the CLU and the gunner engages the target using the sight on the CLU, by placing a curser box over the image of the target.
		The missile is launched at an 18° elevation angle to reach a peak altitude of 150m in top attack mode and 50m in direct fire mode.

	GAO - Inventory Management: Handheld Missiles Are Vulnerable to Theft and Undetected Losses
		Missiles were also dropped from inventory records when parts were removed for testing, maintenance, or inspection, increasing the possibility of errors and resulting in loss of oversight.
		We found that (1) one missile was missing from its container, (2) one missile was missing its launcher tube, and (3) some containers had serial numbers that did not match the enclosed missiles.
		At one missile storage location, we witnessed a spot check where a guard found and removed two new boxes of small arms ammunition that was hidden in a trash truck.

	Army Technology - Gill/Spike Anti-Armour Missile Systems (Anti-Armor Anti-Tank Weapon)
		The missile automatically propels itself towards the target without any additional interaction and this fire-and-forget capability allows the soldier the option of relocating to a new firing position or to reload immediately for the next engagement.
		After launch the missile follows a lofted trajectory and as it approaches the target it dives down to impact the target.
		The missile has four rectangular fins for aerodynamic control at the rear, and four wings at just over halfway from nose to tail on the length of the body.

		Those inside the egg are immunised from all magic missile spells and variants and also have all other missile combat damage into and out of the egg reduced by one hit per hit dice.
		Light from the missile causes the target to become surrounded by light to a radius of 20 feet, as per a light spell.
		The nature of a change to mineral elemental nature affects damage by lowering all dice by one step to a minimum of one hit damage per dice, eg 1d6 becomes 1d4, 1d4 becomes 1d3,etc. and all special properties of the area, effect or spell are altered to be corrosive and/or petrifying in nature.

	CNN.com - China warns of possible arms race - May 2, 2001
		Bush says the treaty needs to be replaced with a missile system that protects the United States and its allies from attacks by what Washington calls rogue nations or accidental launches.
		China has repeatedly voiced strong opposition to the missile defense system, partly out of fears it will be extended to include Japan and Taiwan, which it views as a renegade province.
		Bush has remained vague on key aspects of his initiative such as what kind of missile defense system he would field and when, how much it would cost and the depth of arms cuts.

	Marine Corps News -> School of Infantry students shoot the works, herald new antitank era
		Currently, the Dragon missile uses a wire-guided system forcing the assaultman to optically guide the missile to its target.
		The missile is ejected into a safe distance from the assaultman and, once cleared, it fires its rocket.
		With the Dragon, it would be suicidal to fire from inside a building because of the back-blast, according to Pauly.

		The newest arrow in their quiver is a portable anti-tank missile called the Javelin.
		In development since the 1980s, the 50-pound missile is about two-thirds the weight of previous medium-range anti-tank missiles fielded by the U.S. Army.
		And firing such missiles often produce a lot of noise and "back-blast" — smoke and debris that shoots out the rear of the missile's launch tube — that the enemy can use to spot where the missile came from and fire back.

	ENTER THE JAVELIN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		There is a physical limit to the number of missiles that can be strapped onto the Soldier's back: while this approach may appeal to spendthrifts within the Army, its going to get our men killed in combat and result in battles and even wars being lost.
		A balanced attack using both missiles and guns must be employed using a lightweight armored fighting vehicle that can be ORGANIC to light infantry, not unlikely to be delivered heavy M1 Abrams main battle tanks (MBTs) and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) ad hoc in "ones and twos" at the last minute before battle.
		Once on the ground, the extra supplies of Javelin missiles could be towed by Paratroopers in "fat-tire" all-terrain cart/sleds (ATACS) like the UT 2000 system of two backpack frames that join together to be a Stokes litter or cart using a wheel set.
