Definition of Scud Scud missile (including derivatives) is one of the few ballistic missiles to be used in actual warfare, second only to V2 in terms of combat launches (Tocka-U being the only other ballistic missile fired "in anger"). All "Scud" versions derive from the German V-2 rocket (just like the majority of early American missiles and rockets) and are (very) inaccurate due to their construction. As with some other missiles, the military advantage of this weapon consists in its ease of transportation, on a TEL vehicle (transporter-erector-launcher). www.wordiq.com /definition/Scud

Surface Warfare - Navy Ships Surface combatants were used to conduct several sea control and power projection missions, which included protecting maritime traffic, performing maritime intercept operations of contraband shipping to sever Iraqi trade, conducting deep-strike Tomahawk missile attacks against Iraq, and providing combat search and rescue operations in the region. A 1995 Navy surface combatant study concluded that defense against theater ballistic missile and Tomahawk strikes will be a high-priority task of Aegis-capable ships early in an MRC. Forward-deployed surface combatants could be available to immediately strike targets on land with Tomahawk cruise missiles and provide naval fire support for ground forces. www.fas.org /man/dod-101/sys/ship/surface.htm

Guided Missiles Missiles are guided toward targets by remote control or by internal guidance mechanisms. Remote control missiles are linked to a human or mechanical target locator through trailing wires, wireless radio, or some other type of signal system; internal guidance mechanisms have optical, radar, infrared, or some other type of sensor that can detect heat, light, or electronic emissions from the target. Missiles may also be grouped by their area of operation: Tactical missiles are used by military forces in direct combat on and above the battlefield; support missiles are employed behind the main battle area; and strategic missiles are designed for intercontinental warfare. www.defencejournal.com /jun99/guided-missiles.htm

The Manila Times Internet Edition OPINION > China’s advanced missiles take center stage at air show The Chinese government-owned aerospace company was also displaying a range of short-range air defense missiles and surface-to-air missiles, as well as small civilian communications satellites. tc "“This is the first time the Chinese are displaying surface-to-surface missiles. “Missiles pose a big threat to Taiwan because there are 600 missiles aiming at them and the range of this missile system means that it can cover part of the outside islands of Taiwan and so I think Taiwan is more and more sensitive on this system,” he said. www.manilatimes.net /national/2004/nov/03/yehey/opinion/20041103opi7.html

Al-Samoud - Iraq Special Weapons Iraq explained that many of these efforts were in direct support of its Ababil-100 program for indigenous development and production of surface-to-surface missiles with ranges between 100 and 150 kilometers. After August 1995 Iraq admitted that since the adoption of resolution 687 (1991), it had carried out an undeclared program to modify the Volga/SA-2 surface-to-air missile system to a surface-to-surface application with a range of over 100 kilometers. Since the missile monitoring system was established in 1994, Iraq achieved considerable progress in the development of the Samoud liquid propellant missile system with a declared range of 149 kilometres. www.globalsecurity.org /wmd/world/iraq/samoud.htm

Encyclopedia: Surface to air missile A surface-to-air missile (SAM) is a missile designed to be launched from the ground to destroy aircraft. RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile - United States (this missile is a derivative of the AIM-9 Sidewinder and the FIM-92 Stinger). Radar guided missiles are spoofed by chaff, which is small strips of metal which produce false radar returns, and heat-seeking missiles are spoofed by flares, which are produce false heat sources. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Surface_to_air-missile   (383 words)

Javelin surface-to-air missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Javelin is a British man-portable surface-to-air missile, used by the British Army and Canadian Army. The missile was developed as a replacement for the Blowpipe missile, which had proven largely ineffective in the Falklands war (9 hits recorded out of more than 100 missile launches) and in Mujahideen hands during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Although Javelin is somewhat susceptible to smoke, fog or clouds, it is claimed to be virtually impossible to decoy it away from a target with flares. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Javelin_surface-to-air_missile   (221 words)

Soviet Surface-to-Surface Missiles The development of the R-14U missile for both soft surface and Chusovaya complex silo launchers was authorized on 30 May 1960, and the first silo launch was conducted on 11 February 1962, again at Kapustin Yar. The missile was accepted into service on 4 March 1959, and the first five missile regiments were put on alert on 16 May 1960. The missile was first tested on 20 December 1994, and the first two Topol-M missiles were put on trial service in December 1997 at Tatischevo. personal.inet.fi /cool/foxfour/sovmis/sovmis-ss.html   (221 words)

ROBOTECH: RDF Surface-Surface Missiles - Tomahawk The surface-to-surface missiles used by the early RDF Navy were based on the venerable Tomahawk design used by the US Navy from the 1980s onwards. The Tomahawk was used in all VLS-equipped surface ships (in the BGM- 109 versions) and in the submarine forces (the UGM-109 versions). Usually, a combination trajectory was programmed into the missile. www.artemisgames.com /robotech/Missiles/Tomahawk.html   (221 words)

NTI: Iran Missile Chronology 1988 It is concluded that the missile exchanges between Iran and Iraq have had more psychological than military utility because the accuracy of the missiles has been poor; however, if the missiles were to become more accurate, it could significantly alter the nature of the conflict between the two gulf countries. Iran's President Hashemi-Rafsanjani states that his country is ready to begin the full-scale production of missiles, which will enable Iran to launch 20 missiles per day into Baghdad. Production of the missile is intended to begin in 1989. www.nti.org /e_research/e1_iran_mch_1988.html   (221 words)

Navy Matters Type 45 Section While this caused no essential clash, the missile being capable of both missions, the radar needed to perform the area defence role (as required by the Royal Navy) would have to be of a markedly different nature to that required by the point defence role (France and Italy). Even though the crucial role of air defence was shared by all, and the ships were to share the same missile, the Franco-Italian Aster, the navies had somewhat different missions in mind. The Astor 15 missile had just been successfully tested in a 'hit-to-kill' engagement with a live MM38 Exocet anti-ship missile, demonstrating that it could carry out the local-area defence mission, against a crossing target, as required by the Royal Navy. navy-matters.beedall.com /cngf.htm   (10464 words)

Blowpipe missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Blowpipe is a man-portable surface-to-air missile which was in use with the British Army and Royal Marines from 1968. The official British report stated that of the 95 missiles fired, only 9 managed to destroy their targets and all of these where slow flying planes and helicopters [1], however later research indicated that only 1 kill could be attributed to the Blowpipe. Blowpipe missile systems are still being found in weapon caches as recently as June 2003 in Afghanistan [4] [5]. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Blowpipe_missile   (313 words)

Anti-aircraft warfare - Art History Online Reference and Guide Air defence by air forces is typically taken care of by fighter jets carrying air-to-air missiles which is beyond the scope of this article, however most air forces choose to augment air base defence with surface-to-air missile systems as they are such valuable targets for enemy aircraft. Starting in the post-World War II era the guns were joined by the guided missile, specifically the "surface-to-air missile", and today both are used in combination in most roles. Originally missiles were useful only as a replacement for the very largest of anti-aircraft guns, but by the 1960s they had been scaled down to the point where they were also replacing smaller weapons previously serviced by guns in the 40 mm to 57 mm range. www.arthistoryclub.com /art_history/Flak   (3367 words)

U.S. jets bomb surface-to-surface missiles in Iraq U.S. Jets Bomb Missile Systems in Iraq.c The Associated Press ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - U.S. warplanes bombed surface-to-surface missile systems in northern Iraq early Tuesday after Iraqi forces moved the missiles into a U.S.-patrolled no-fly zone, the U.S. military said. The Germany-based U.S. European Command said in a statement that U.S. jets used precision-guided weapons to target three surface-to-surface missile systems just south of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. ``The coalition carried out today's strike after Iraqi forces moved the mobile surface-to-surface missile systems above the 36th parallel-inside the northern no-fly zone-and in range to threaten coalition forces,'' the statement said. www.mail-archive.com /marxism@lists.panix.com/msg42718.html   (3367 words)

Rediff On The NeT: Pak test-fires surface-to-surface missile ''As part of our integrated missile research and development programme, we have carried out a successful flight test of the surface-to-surface missile, the Hatf-V (Ghauri) with a range of 1,500 km and a payload of 700 kilogrammes,'' the foreign ministry said. After achieving its undeclared nuclear capability in the late 1980s, Pakistan started its missile development programme with the short range surface-to-surface Hatf (death) and surface-to-air Anza (lance) versions. It even imposed temporary sanctions against China for allegedly contravening the Missile Technology Control Regime which restricts such help to missiles of up to the range of 350 kilometres. www.rediff.com /news/1998/apr/06pakbom.htm   (3367 words)

IHT: Taiwan is said to have missiles that reach China The new weapons are similar to cruise missiles, which can be programmed to seek out and hit land targets, the newspaper said, adding that the military has refused to disclose the exact number of missiles it has or to say whether they have been deployed. The development of missiles is a sensitive issue because Taiwan has pledged to buy and make only defensive weapons. The missiles, called Hsiung-feng 2A and Hsiung-feng 2E, have ranges of 150 to 300 kilometers, or 90 to 180 miles, the newspaper reported Sunday, citing unidentified military sources. www.iht.com /articles/540714.html   (3367 words)
