	Storm Shadow / SCALP EG Cruise Missile
		Storm Shadow / SCALP EG is an advanced, conventionally armed cruise missiles currently operational with the RAF and French Air Force.
		The missile is launched as a "fire and forget" weapon, representing minimum additional workload for the air crew of two-seater and single-seat aircraft.
		Storm Shadow is currently operational with RAF Tornado GR4 aircraft and French Mirage 2000D aircraft.

	Cruise Missile - MSN Encarta
		A cruise missile is so accurate that it can be aimed not just at a building, but at a specific place in the building, such as a door or window.
		Warheads used in the JASSM cruise missile are filled with a type of explosive material that will not blow up if the warhead is dropped accidentally, or even if the airplane carrying the missile catches fire on the ground.
		The United States produced thousands of these new missiles, including the Tomahawk, made by General Dynamics (now Raytheon), which could be launched from ships, submarines, or trucks, and the Air-Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM), made by The Boeing Company, which was launched by B-52 bombers.

		Storm Shadow is a "fire and forget" weapon.
		In theory, the missile constantly adjusts its course and angle of attack so that it hits the target as accurately as possible, reducing collateral damage and unintended deaths.
		Military planners class Storm Shadow as a "high survivability and effectiveness" weapon - meaning it minimises the risk to aircraft and crew while maximising the radius of attack.

	Operation Shadow for N-Gage Review - N-Gage Operation Shadow Review
		Not to be confused with the similarly titled Shadow Ops, which was recently released on the PC and Xbox, Operation Shadow is a third-person-perspective, arcade-style shooter that's defined by its faster-than-life pacing and intolerably campy dialogue.
		In general, Operation Shadow's Bluetooth multiplayer feels like an afterthought (which is not to suggest that the single-player missions have benefited from a great deal of forethought).
		Shadow's visual artists have used as few polygons as possible here, piecing together buildings and characters like tangrams.

	MBDA Storm Shadow
		The Apache missile programme, originally intended as a Franco-German project had been designed for ground attack, with a submunition dispenser allowing air field denial strikes and a secondary role of precision strike using a single warhead.
		The missile was designed from the outset to have an extremely small radar and IR cross section reducing the chances of its detection, or should that still happen, its loss to guided anti-aircraft artillery or anti-missile missile.
		If the missile fails to find its target and the chance of undesired collateral damage is high the missile can be programmed to abort and fly to either a safe area or secondary target.

		Bahrain also insisted that the advanced Raytheon AMRAAM missile be incorporated into the Peace Crown II deal, becoming the first nation in the Gulf to receive the missile and starting the technology break-out that has seen three other GCC countries receive the type in short order.
		The UAE Offsets Group strictly requires that offsets worth at least 60 percent of the value of deals be fulfilled within seven years (ten at the maximum), with milestones at three and five years, and with strong focus on profitability not simply investment.
		Though the scale of this deal is in doubt, the UAE has, in the past, allowed Russian debts to the federation to be liquidated in return for 50 Pantsir S-1 air defence units, redesigned to UAE specifications that boosted interoperability with western equipment and therefore export prospects.
