	Blowpipe missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The missile is a single round in a storage cylinder.
		The controller unit is clipped to it and the missile is fired from the operator's shoulder.
		For compact storage, the rear fins of the missile are housed at the front of the storage cylinder - the missile is steered by the front fins.

	Starstreak missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		When the missile is a safe distance from the operator the second stage fires, which rapidly accelerates the missile to burn out velocity of about Mach 3.5 400 m away from the operator.
		The submunitions steer briefly by stoping the rotating forebody with a clutch.

	New Infantry Combat Weapons System
		In one particular configuration, the nose cone of a missile such as the HELLFIRE missile is adapted to contain a plurality of the forward DU-explosive shells, and as the missile approaches the target, at a distance such as 30 meters before impact, the missile fires the shells, for example three independent rounds, at the target.
		After the missile is fired, its range and bearing data is used to steer the missile initially toward the target, and if an obstruction such as a mountain range is between the launch platform and the target, the missile is instructed to climb to a clear altitude before beginning seeking for laser information.
		Then once the tactical missile begins the terminal phase of its flight profile, it uses a camera in its nose to obtain imaging data, digitize the data, and extract a terrain shape grammar that provides the missile with a model of the terrain and the location of the target within that terrain.

	Starstreak Muli-role missile
		The Starstreak missile system manufactured by Thales (formerly Shorts Missile Systems) was adopted by the British army as an air defence system in 2000.
		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 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).

		The missile operator keeps his target in the cross-hairs and course corrections are automatically transmitted to the missile.
		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.
		The Rim-66C SM-2 (standard missile 2) is operational for defensive use against aircraft and anti-ship missiles; it employs the Lockheed Martin Mk 41 vertical launch system and has been extensively exported for use by land and sea-based units.

		Starstreak is designed to counter threats from very high performance low flying aircraft and fast pop-up type strikes by attack helicopters.
		The missile is boosted to maximum velocity by a two-stage propulsion system at which point three darts, each with an impact fuze, are released and are guided on to the target by the operator.

		At the heart of the export variant of the system, already in service with the British Army, lies the revolutionary Starstreak missile, a high velocity round of three lethal "darts", guided by a laser beam which is proven to be undetectable and unjammable.
		Starstreak is also unique in its rapid engagement sequence, designed specifically to be effective against very late unmasking aircraft or intermittent exposure aircraft such as helicopters.
		The missile is packaged within a Fire Control System that offers high performance second generation Thermal Imaging for 24 hr operation and the latest generation in Automatic Target Tracking to provide the operator with a fully automatic (hands-off) engagement sequence.

		ORLANDO, Florida, December 16, 1998 ñ The Shorts Starstreak missile, mounted on a U.S. Army AH-64A Apache attack helicopter, was six-for-six during a series of air-to-air defense, live-fire tests against static and airborne helicopter targets at the Armyís Yuma Proving Ground facility in Arizona October 27-November 12.
		Shorts Missile Systems, which developed and builds Starstreak as an operational ground-based air defense weapon, has joined with Lockheed Martin and Boeing in an Army-funded demonstration of the systemís capabilities as a helicopter air defense system.
		The missileís extremely high velocity facilitates the destruction of most targets in less than four seconds, limiting pilot exposure by destroying a target before it can engage.
