	Javelin surface-to-air missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Javelin is a British man-portable surface-to-air missile, used by the British Army and Canadian Army.
		The missile was developed as a replacement for the Blowpipe missile, which had proven largely ineffective in the Falklands war (9 hits recorded out of more than 100 missile launches) and in Mujahideen hands during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
		Although Javelin is somewhat susceptible to smoke, fog or clouds, it is claimed to be virtually impossible to decoy it away from a target with flares.

		Command guidance is a type of missile guidance where a ground station or aircraft relay signals to a guided missile via radio (or possibly through a wire connecting the missile to the launcher) and tell the missile where to steer in order to intercept its target.
		A triple Javelin missile launcher Javelin is a British man-portable surface-to-air missile, used by the British Army and Canadian Army.
		An anti-radiation missile is a missile which is designed to detect and home in on the emissions of an enemy radar installation.

	Blowpipe missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blowpipe is a man-portable surface-to-air missile which was in use with the British Army and Royal Marines from 1968.
		The official British report stated that of the 95 missiles fired, only 9 managed to destroy their targets and all of these where slow flying planes and helicopters [1], however later research indicated that only 1 kill could be attributed to the Blowpipe.
		Blowpipe missile systems are still being found in weapon caches as recently as June 2003 in Afghanistan [4] [5].

	Anti-aircraft warfare - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		Originally missiles were useful only as a replacement for the very largest of anti-aircraft guns, but by the 1960s they had been scaled down to the point where they were also replacing smaller weapons previously serviced by guns in the 40 mm to 57 mm range.
		Air defence by air forces is typically taken care of by fighter jets carrying air-to-air missiles which is beyond the scope of this article, however most air forces choose to augment air base defence with surface-to-air missile systems as they are such valuable targets for enemy aircraft.
		For example, the United State's strategic air defence is typically the domain of the air force, even when it is performed by missiles launched from fixed installations.

	18 Air Defence Regiment
		The role of air defence artillery is to defend our ground forces against attack from enemy aircraft and helicopters.
		Shoulder launched or using the Light Weight Multiple Launcher which has three ready to fire missiles, the Javelin is a highly accurate, deadly missile.
		From that point forward the role of the unit changed to Air Defence and the Regiment was tasked to provide an air defence battery, the 20th, in support of Canadian Forces units in Western Canada.

		The primary air force missions were to contest enemy efforts to establish air superiority over Yugoslavia and to support the defensive operations of the ground forces and navy.
		The Air and Air Defence forces were headquartered at Zemun and had fighter and bomber aircraft, helicopters, and air defence artillery units at air bases throughout the former Yugoslavia.
		Air Force operations have been limited to deterrent low overflights by airplanes and helicopters.

		While this does not mean that Iraqi missile air defenses will cease to function, it does mean that their effectiveness will be significantly lower than a decade ago when they last had access to regular maintenance.
		The CMM (Common Modular Missile) is intended as a follow-on both to the ubiquitous TOW and the larger Hellfire missile.
		Missile defense is back in the headlines with the Bush administration's announcement, late last year, to deploy, by 2004, a very limited antiballistic missile defense system to protect the U.S. against weapons launched by rogue nations.

		All missiles of course also have greater intercept probability when they have high energy, ie is moving faster, and that's closer to the launcher, before or soon after motor burn out.
		This diagram is for the Crotale NG VT-1 missile with a speed of Mach 3.5 and a range of 10 km+.
		Other data for this missile is that it reaches 8 km in 10 s, and that at 8 km it's capable of making 35G turns and that the warhead's lethal radius is 8 m.

	MAN PORTABLE SURFACE-AIR MISSILES
		The missile itself is a metal tube containing a two stage solid propellant rocket, a warhead and at its tapered nose, a nose cone fitted with cruciform delta control surfaces.
		Unlike conventional roll stabilised missiles which are steered in two axes, pitch and yaw, by two (pitch, yaw) control channels a RAM uses a single control channel which is 'phased' to introduce pitch and yaw commands subject to the missile's instantaneous orientation (roll angle) in roll.
		The missile was conceptually similar to Redeye as a RAM using an uncooled PbS seeker sensitive to 2 micron band IR emissions.

		The Theater High Altitude Air Defense system is a $300 million SDI effort to develop an integrated two-layer wide-area defense against aircraft and missile threats.(49) Selection of a development contractor is anticipated by late 1991, with tests continuing through 1996.

	III - AIR DEFENSE EFFECTIVENESS
		Most recent analyses of the significance of missile proliferation have stressed that missiles can be launched in confidence that they will reach their targets, in contrast to aircraft, which face attrition due to air defenses.
		Assessments of the prospective effectiveness of air defenses against attacking aircraft are complicated by the wide range of historical experience, both with individual anti-aircraft weapons as well as with air defense systems as a whole.
		The growing complexity of air defense systems has increased the extent to which the effectiveness of the defense is heavily influenced by tactical innovations and surprise, aimed at disrupting the functioning of the system as a whole, rather than simply altering attrition rates.

		The missile's maximum range is 4800 meters, which is comparable to the Igla, but it has a much shorter minimum range (200 meters versus the Igla's 800 meter minimum).
		Infrared seeking missiles have seekers - devices that are sensitive to IR - that monitor a target's location and trajectory by constantly measuring the infrared energy given off by the target.
