	Sea Cat missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was designed by Short Brothers of Belfast for use against fast jet aircraft that were proving to be too difficult for WWII designed systems to target.
		Initially the missile was targeted visually, with the operator using a joystick and a pair of binoculars.
		Seacat was fitted to virtually every significant warship class in the Royal Navy during the 1960s and 70s, and continued to be used until the widespread entry into service of the Seawolf missile.

		The Polaris is a submarine-launched ballistic missile, capable of carrying an nuclear warhead.
		Seawolf is a ship-launched supersonic missile for short range defence against aircraft and missiles.
		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.

		Acquaintance with the capabilities of Russian missiles, combined with the damage that the missile boats caused during their attacks on Karachi harbour in the 1971 Indo Pakistan War, led to a review of future weapon fitment for surface warfare.
		The Seacat was a radio command guided missile whose control was achieved by using the right thumb on a ball, moving it - up/down and left/right - to send commands to the missile and optically guide it on to the target in the aimers sight.
		In the case of the Russian missiles, the responsibility for non-integrated missiles was given to the Weapons department of the Electrical Branch, except for the warhead and the explosive components which remained with DAS.

		Having produced a Shorland capable of firing Vigilant anti-tank missiles, it was entirely logical to consider an anti-aircraft version.
		As it happened Shorts themselves were manufacturing Blowpipe, a short-range surface-to-air missile.
		Blowpipe was intended as a shoulder fired system and owed much to the success of Seacat and Tigercat manufactured by Shorts.

		The missile was steered by radio command guidance and the target could be tracked visually or by the Type 262 radar in the director.
		In addition to this the vessels were also designed with facilities to carry and operate a helicopter as part of the ship's equipment, which, due to the space, meant that the ship could only be provided with a single Limbo mortar.
		The Seacat system provided a simple but effective close-range air defence system that was subsequently fitted to almost all British and some foreign warships.

	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.
		The first-layer interceptor missile chosen would be larger than Patriot or ERINT (which would be the second layer interceptor(50)), though smaller than the Arrow.
		Both the missile and its associated phased array radars are transported on a large tracked vehicles.

		The biggest advantages of this missile series are that they have a longer range and can attack three air targets at the same time.
		Compared with the HQ61 whose launch range is 12000 meters and whose maximum launch altitude is 10000 meters, the LY60 can be launched as far as 18000 meters away and reaches a maximum launch altitude of 12000 meters.

		The relative advantages and disadvantages of gun and missile air defence systems is a complex issue, the balance of which shifts from time to time depending on technological developments both in the systems themselves and in the threats with which they have to cope.
		Their minimum range is virtually zero, whereas all current AA missiles (except small, man-portable systems) take time to come under full control after launching and thus have a minimum range which can be as much as 1km.
		On balance, missiles can be said to be clearly more effective at ranges of 5km or more, guns preferable for ranges of under 2km, with a grey area in between.

		The Argentinian battle-cruiser General Belgrano, carrying a crew of over 1,000 and Exocet missiles, was torpedoed and sunk on May 2 by the British nuclear-powered submarine Conqueror about 30 miles south of the total exclusion zone, it being estimated that 368 Argentinians on board lost their lives.
		According to a British Ministry of Defence statement on May 4, the General Belgrano was hit by "two high-explosive torpedoes" and had been in the area in which she was attacked for some time.
		The statement added that the battle-cruiser was accompanied by two destroyers, both armed with Exocet missiles, and had thus "posed a major threat to our ships".

		The LY-60 all-weather day- and night-capable surface-to-air missile system was developed by Shanghai Academy of Space Flight Technology (SAST) for both sea and land applications against low- and medium-altitude fast jet targets, slow low-level helicopters, and sea-skimming missiles.
		It is the only medium-low-altitude air defence missile in the world that uses microprocessor intelligent module technology.

		Tony remembers, "We visited somewhere where railway engines were being renovated, and we saw a big drum that said 'MEK' on the side, and there was a big warning label on it." In all the years that Tony worked with MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) he had never seen such a label.
		He used MEK, an organic solvent, to clean up the Seacat missiles he worked on, but nobody had ever told him it was a health hazard.
		Missiles are expensive and dangerous weapons, and the MoD had rules about how many Seacats were allowed in E302 at any time, and also about how many hours a day fitters could work on them.
