	Malkara missile - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		The concept of the Malkara was probably inspired by the WWII German X-7 anti-tank missile.
		In addition, the basic airframe and expertise were directly used in the development of the Ikara anti-ship missile and the Sea Cat surface-to-air missile.
		A specialised air-deployable armoured fighting vehicle was developed to carry the Malkara.

	Malkara missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concept of the Malkara was probably inspired by the WWII German X-7 anti-tank missile.
		Malkara was unusual amongst anti-tank missiles in that it had a HESH (High Explosive Squash Head - US name HEP - High Explosive Plastic) warhead instead of the more usual shaped charge HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) warhead.
		Based on the British Army's FV1611 Humber Pig armoured truck, it carried two Malkara missiles on a retractable boom at the rear, and could be air-dropped on a cluster of 6 parachutes.

		The onboard radar acquires the target from the ground based launch control, and the missile then alters course in pitch or roll by rotating the two wings together or differentially.
		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.

	Malkara missile
		The Malkara missile (from an Aboriginal word for "shield") was one of the earliest anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs).
		It was jointly developed by Australia and the United Kingdom between 1951 and 1954, and was in service from 1958 until gradually replaced by the Swingfire missile in the late 60s.
		Based on the British Army's FV1611 Humber Pig armoured truck, it carried two Malkara missiles on a retractable boom at the rear, and could be air-dropped on a cluster of 6 parachutes.

	Defence Materiel Organisation - On Target July 2007
		Developed in Australia, the Malkara was a large missile capable of scoring lethal first round hits on any armoured vehicle then known.
		During tests in 1955, of a total of fourteen missiles fired, twelve were direct hits on 2.5 metre square targets at ranges up to 1800 metres.
		Army has no requirement for Malkara as an anti-tank guided missile since it is considered unsuitable for use in South East Asia which is largely densely covered tropical country.” Following the completion of the British contract in 1964, Malkara production was terminated and developmental research ceased.

		A wire-guided missile is a missile guided by signals sent to it via thin wires reeled out during flight.
		This guidance system is most common for anti-tank missiles, where its ability to be used in areas of limited line-of-sight make it useful, while the range limit imposed by the length of the wire is not a serious concern.
		The longest range wire-guided missiles in current use are limited to about 2.5 miles.

	Malkara series of long range atgm
		Malkara started life as part of Project E which was authorised by the Chief Scientist of Australia in August 1950, this was for a simple and robust wire guided missile which together with it's guidance equipment could be carried by two men, to have a maximum range of 1,400m and a minimum range of 270m.
		The Malkara was the first anti-tank weapon developed jointly by the Government Aircraft Factory in Melbourne,Aeronautical research Laboratories, Weapons Research Establishment of the Australian Ministry of Supply in Australia and RAE Farnborough.
		This missile is wire-guided utilising a simple thumb-operated joystick to control the missile and has a maximum range of 2,500m.

		The use of rocket-powered or jet-powered missiles was nothing new, and much of the initial post-war research drew upon the advances made during the war – mainly by the Axis powers.
		By any measure, Malkara was a massive missile, measuring 1800mm long, and carrying a 27-kg HEAT warhead.
		Fourteen missiles were fired (seven by UK personnel with minimal training) and there were twelve direct hits on 2.5 metre square targets at ranges up to 1800 metres.

		The Falklands proved the general inability of short range missiles (no matter how sophisticated they are) to defend others rather than themselves as long they are not combined with a longer range air defense to shoot down planes that fly at higher altitudes to avoid short range air defence.
		Eight missiles can be carried ready to fire, each with a high explosive warhead and missiles (designated MK2B) are now fitted with a proximity fuze.
		The missile's propulsion system is a two stage enhanced solid-propellant rocket motor capable of around Mach 2.5.

		It was the world's first operational shipboard point-defence missile system and was designed so that the Bofors guns could be replaced with minimum modification to the recipient vessel using (originally) existing fire-control systems.
		The missile itself was based on the Shorts Green Light prototype, itself a development of the Australian Malkara anti-tank missile.
		The missiles were fitted to the four Swedish Ã—stergÃ¶tland-class destroyers, replacing three Bofors L/70 guns (a more modern and heavier variant then the Royal Navy's L/60) with a single launcher on each ship.

		Malkara was a wire-guided weapon for which the British developed an armoured launcher vehicle based on the Humber Pig armoured personnel carrier.
		The parachute cluster is located at the rear of the vehicle, which itself is secured to the platform by an intricate web of hooks and lines.
		The third element was a missile test vehicle for the Malkara system which consisted of another unarmoured Humber truck and trailer.

		It was intended to be light enough to deploy with airborne forces, yet powerful enough to knock out any tank then in service.

		The first missile exposes you to a degree of danger (variable -- depending on range, enemy vehicle, etc), and a follow up, trying to hit the same place, increases your risk.
		For example fiber optic missiles will communicate the data back to the shooter who can guide the missile with his notebook seeing the target(s) on the screen.
		The Hellfire missile is roughly 7 inches in diameter, and guesstimating its warhead at about 6.5 inches in diameter, we could be seeing a possible 56 inch pentration, about 1420mm.
