	MGM-51 Shillelagh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The missile body consisted of a long tube with fold-out fins at the extreme rear, which was propelled from the M81 gun with a small charge strapped on the rear.
		Aiming the missile was simple, the gunner simply kept his gunsight on the target, while electronics in the sighting system tracked the missile optically and sent corrections through an IR link (similar to a TV remote control).
		In addition the missile proved to have a very long minimum range due to the layout of the vehicle, the missile didn't come into the sight of the gun/tracker system until it was 2400 ft (730 m) from the vehicle, at which point it could start to be guided.

		The decision by the United States to build and deploy a limited antiballistic missile (ABM) defense overshadowed all other activities in the field of rockets and missiles during the year.
		The ballistic missile assumed an increasingly significant role in the nation's defense forces.
		Several hundred Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles were operational in the field, and an impressive number of submarine-launched ballistic missiles were operational under the seas.

	M60A2
		Shillelagh was designed to be the main armament for armored combat vehicles.
		The Shillelagh was a direct fire missile which was launched from a combination gun-launcher and was effective against tanks and fortifications.
		After being fired the missile could be guided to the target by a command system mounted on the launch vehicle.

	M551 Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle
		After removal of missile system components, a special purpose kit was installed in these vehicles to provide turret and weapon stabilization using the remaining two missile system components (power supply and rate sensor).
		All crew members should be inside the vehicle to prevent injury from muzzle blast of a conventional round or, in the case of a missile firing in training with live warhead, to prevent possible fragment spray from early ground impacts.
		Missiles should not be fired over friendly troops in training due to the hazard from early ground impacts.

		In a Shillelagh shot, the gunner aimed the cross-hairs in his telescopic sight at the target, and fired the missile.
		A missile tracker in the gunner's sight detected any deviation of the flight path from the line-of-sight to the target, and transmitted corrective commands to the missile via an infrared command link.
		During tests in 1966 with missiles of shallower key, the optimum key depth was found to be 1.9 mm (.075 in).

		A Shillelagh that missed the target hit the far side of the creek bed behind the target and flew straight up in the air for a few hundred feet, then slowly looped back down towards the bunker.
		The missile hit the ground about 100 feet away from the bunker at a slight angle so that the rear end slammed down and I could see that it was getting pretty banged up but the rocket motor was still firing.
		We were required, however, to re-align the missile tracker after every shot, which is a tedious process and the designated shooters soon lost interest with eight missiles left.

	Selections from the Current Issue
		The missile's designers claim that it will penetrate both the latest, as well as next-generation, advanced tank armors, which may be impenetrable to conventional 105- and 120-millimeter tank projectiles.
		The company has successfully tested the missile and warhead separately and is currently looking for funding from a potential customer to begin testing of the missile and warhead as a single unit.
		The missile is designed to carry a tandem warhead that was developed for another system already in use with the Israeli Defense Forces.

	Armor: Major tank developments 1960-2004
		The 152mm gun optimized the missile to penetrate enemy armor at very long ranges, although little thought was given to how this would effect conventional ammunition.
		There was some concern that the guidance system for the Shillelagh missile might become compromised, so it was removed prior to deployment.
		The first missile firing tank was the T-64B that looked just like the T-64A, a non-missile version, but had the fire control components to fire the AT-8 Songster missile (the Russian designation was Kobra) with a range of 4,000 meters.

		Built to counter the Soviet superiority on the battlefield, the missile toting tank killer Shillelagh missile system incorporated into the 'Starship' was an idea ahead of its time.
		CBSS was incorporated in the M60A2 to solve a problem with the use of the Shillelagh Missile.
		The conventional rounds use the tube rifling, while the Shillelagh missile engages the notch down the bottom of the barrel when fired.

	M551A1 Armored Reconnaissance Airborne Assault Vehicle (Sheridan)
		Due to problems with the gun-tube-launched antitank missile, the Sheridan was not fielded widely throughout the Army.
		The gun would foul with caseless ammuniton, gun firing would interfere with missle electronics, and the entire vehicle recoiled with unusual vigor when the gun was fired, since the 152mm gun was too big for the light-weight chassis.
		The Shillelagh missles were evidently never used in anger.

	TOW Chronology
		However, the missile infrared source blinded the gunner and he was unable to track the missile.
		Of the 162 airborne TOW missiles fired in combat, 151 (93 percent) were reliable and 124 (82 percent) scored hits on a variety of targets.
		Although no missiles were taken and none of the equipment ended up in the hands of terrorists, the conspirators sold a TOW missile launcher to an individual in Oklahoma, and an undercover agent bought a M901 missile launcher and a jeep.

		Although the Shillelagh missile was considered a risky project, if it worked the XM551 would be able to deal with even the largest tanks at extreme ranges.
		The M81 gun had problems with cracks developing near the breach after repeated firing, a problem that was later tracked to the "key" on the missiles that ran in a slot cut into the barrel.
		Of course an anti-tank vehicle being fielded against an enemy that didn't use tanks was something of a waste, but the gun proved an able anti-personnel weapon, and was generally loved by the infantry who were desperate for direct-fire support.

	TOW
		The tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided (TOW) missile is a crewportable, vehicle-mounted, heavy antiarmor weapon system consisting of a launcher and one of five versions of the TOW missile.
		After firing the missile, the gunner must keep the crosshairs of the sight centered on the target to ensure a hit.
		The TOW was one of the earliest missile systems to arrive in Southwest Asia and proved to be highly effective throughout Operation Desert Storm.

	ENTER THE JAVELIN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		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.

		The vehicles were equipped with the Closed Breech Scavenging System without bore evacuators and were fully Shillelagh missile capable.
		One missile was fired in demo, all missile 'firing' training was performed on a turret trainer/simulator.
		The CBSS fixed some of the cannon problems related to clearing the tube immediately after firing but the complicated and touchy breech block, that to work correctly would unscrew, swing and pivot, never was fully trustworthy.

	152mm Gun-launcher AR/AAV M551 Sheridan
		In vehicles with CBSS, ammunition stowage was reduced to a total of 29 rounds and missiles since one of the air cylinders replaced an ammunition rack.
		The 152mm gun-launchers differ in the following ways: M81 was fitted with a bore evacuator and the open breech scavenging system; M81 Modified was an M81 retrofitted with the CBSS; M81E1 had a shallower missile keyway to reduce firing stresses on the barrel, and the barrel was thickened near the muzzle.
		The MGM-51 Shillelagh missile was a SACLOS infrared-guided missile fitted with a shaped-charge warhead.

	APL D-40 Cannonball
		The Cannonball missile, also known as D-40, was developed in the early 1950s by the Applied Physics Laboratory of the Johns Hopkins University under a U.S. Navy contract.
		Additionally, it became clear that the rather smoky rocket motor was inadequate for a visually tracked missile, because the weapon was obscured by the smoke trail under zero wind conditions.
		Because the desired low burn rate (and therefore low thrust) could not be achieved with the new propellant, the missile's weight had to be increased to maintain the proper trim.

		On top of that, the missile capture range was over 500 meters, so you had little chance of killing targets at short range.
		After one or two conventional rounds, the missile system usually refused to function until the turret mechanic had a go at it to push the circuit cards back into their slots.
		As to a missile tank, it is a nice idea, but most well-trained M1 crews can get a first round hit out to 5000 meters.

		If the Iraqi Army had gone on the offensive against the 82d Airborne Division, the division’s only antitank capability would have been the 3d Battalion, 73d Armor, the antitank companies of the battalions, and the Dragon gunners in the line companies.
		When the M551A1(TTS) vehicles were finally placed in the battlefield position that they were originally designed to dominate, the long armed Shillelagh missile system killed Iraqi armor very well indeed.
		The decision to inactivate the unit is a tough one; however, current and future anti-armor assets within the 82nd Airborne Division and XVIII Airborne Corps will ensure there is a sufficient anti-armor capability.
