	Starstreak
		Зеинитный ракетный комплекс "Starstreak" предназначен для поражения широкого спектра средств воздушного нападения, включая сверхзвуковые самолеты и низколетящие ударные вертолеты до рубежа эффективного использования ими своего вооружения.
		Комплекс "Starstreak" разработан в трех вариантах: переносного ЗРК (SL), носимо-возимого на основе легкой многозарядной пусковой установки (LML) и самоходного на бронированном шасси "Stormer" (SP).
		Официально зенитно-ракетный комплекс "Starstreak" принят на вооружение армии Великобритании 1 сентября 1997 года, модифицированная многозарядная пусковая установка - в 2000г.

	Starstreak Muli-role missile
		Whereas TOW uses a command wire, Starstreak uses a laser beam, but from the operator's point of view the only difference will be the reduced flight time of the missile and that his targets may sometimes be airborne.
		Starstreak has nearly twice the range and a fraction of the flight time, making it harder for the target to deploy countermeasures or counter-fire.
		Starstreak can penetrate through over 3 feet of RHA armor, and the ability to laze could be tweaked to not just beam ride for it, but also laser guided Hydra-70mm rockets, rangefind in general and target designate for bombs dropped from and guns fired from aircraft (CAS fix).

		Starstreak is currently in service with the British Army, and is likely to remain at the forefront of its air defence capability until at least 2020.
		The Starstreak high-velocity missile is designed for operation in all areas of the battlefield, from rapid-reaction roles to the defence of frontline armoured forces.
		The lightweight multiple launcher tripod provides three Starstreak missiles, all ready to fire, and is therefore optimised to deal with saturation attacks from the air or the ground.

		Starstreak is a British short range surface-to-air missile manufactured by Thales Air Defence Limited (originally Shorts Missile Systems), in Belfast.
		Development on the missile began in the early 1980s after a study into a weapon system to supplement the Rapier missile system showed that a high velocity missile system was the best solution to the problem.
		The Starstreak missile is transported in a sealed launch tube.

		Starstreak is a British short range surface-to-air missile, also known as Starstreak HVM where HVM stands for High Velocity Missile.
		Starstreak has been in service with the British Army since 1997, and is noted for splitting up into 3 submunition rounds prior to impacting with a target aircraft.
		Starstreak mounted on a variant of the Alvis Stormer has been in service with the British army since 1997.

	Starburst - Archived 2/2003
		However, as the Starstreak’s main rocket motor burns out and the nose cone detaches (the three darts carried within automatically separate and begin to home in on the target), the Starburst remains in one piece.
		In integrating the Starstreak laser optical command system, a similar forward receiver position could not be used, since the rear of the Javelin missile might otherwise screen it from the ground-based guidance unit during in-flight maneuvers.
		However, since the Starburst is not equipped with the Starstreak warhead darts, the missile probably places its attack aiming point in the center of the matrix.

		Starstreak received export clearance from the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) in September 1999.
		Starstreak has nearly twice the range and a fraction of the flight time of previous missiles making it hard for the target to deploy countermeasures or counter-fire.
		Vehicle-mounted Starstreaks need a laser guidance system, but the laser can also designate targets for laser-homing projectiles such as FFAR, Hellfire, Copperhead, Paveway or Maverick, and the laser unit can be used to guide Hydra-70mm rockets.

		Starstreak HVM was formally accepted into service in 1997 and will remain in service until 2020.
		The Starstreak High Velocity Missile (HVM) Low Level Air Defence system is designed to provide a rapid response against air threats that are late unmasking or with short exposure times such as the armoured helicopter or fighter ground attack (FGA) aircraft.
		Today Starstreak represents the nucleus of business operations however in recent years the company has extended its activities winning contracts to manufacture the VT1 missile for France and Greece and conducting final assembly and test of the NLAW Anti-Armour weapon for the UK and Swedish requirements.

	Starstreak - CLOSE AIR DEFENCE MISSILES
		The Starstreak is undergoing tests for the United States Army on the Apache attack helicopter.
		The technical feasibility programme involved the launch of six Starstreak high velocity missiles from an Apache helicopter during ground, hover and air tests at the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona.
		To prepare the Launcher for action the tripod is erected, the traverse head is fitted, the missiles and the aiming unit are clipped into position and the operator acquires the target in the optical sight.

		In addition to the standard sensors, the Starstreak is equipped with vidcams on every arc, and the pilot can toggle between the views with a flick of his head.
		The light Ion cannon of the Starstreak enables the ship to engage much larger craft than itself, as it is fairly easy for the pilot to direct the beams at specific systems, such as the sensor array or other external features.
		In addition to these weapons, the Starstreak is equipped with docking clamps, and many captains have been known to panic when one of these small craft latches itself onto their hull, believing it to be an advanced mine or torpedo of some sort.

	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 27 Oct 1997 (pt 27)
		Members of the advantage that Starstreak's laser-guided, high-velocity missile system holds over infra-red systems--it is effective in typical battle-scene scenarios where there is clutter such as smoke, tree obstructions or heat sources.
		Starstreak has been designed to be immune to countermeasures, including jamming, flares, chaff or electronic devices.
		Potentially, Starstreak is a huge winner and it could be ready for service within two to three years in its air-to-air role, yet the United States finds the MOD ambivalent and without enthusiasm on the issue of whether we are committed to our own system.

		Starstreak is impervious to known countermeasures, inherently low-risk to friendly aircraft and has a low exposure time to acquire and fire.
		Starstreak (correctly called HVM (high velocity msl)) is the UK's 3rd or 4th gen msl of this class, like all the others (Blowpipe, Javelin, S15) it was developed by Shorts, Belfast (now Thales).
		One feature of Starstreak which hasnt been mentioned is the IR/laser alarm which alerts to attack helos using lasers; and the kinetic penetrators can pass though trees and brush without problem.

		The Armoured Starstreak system is mounted aboard the tracked British Alvis Stormer AFV, carrying 20 missiles and a crew of three.
		It is understood that British orders for Starstreak, which in the later stages of its very short hypersonic flight launches three armor-piercing darts at its target, now total more than 7,000 missiles.
		Able to be fired from infantry shoulders, and also matched to lighter all-terrain vehicles in rapid reaction guise, the transformation continues of Starstreak into an air-to-air missile as well.

		In brief, the Starstreak darts can each penetrate over a metre of RHA at a range of 6000m-nearly twice the range of a TOW.
		The HE in a Starstreak dart is not a shaped charge.
		If Starstreak had this performance, it would be significantly more powerful than most current AT weapons and the manufacturer would sell it as such.
