	Gerald Bull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the post-war era CARDE was researching supersonic flight, and Bull suggested the use of a "sabot" type artillery gun to shoot models to supersonic speeds instead of using an expensive supersonic wind tunnel.
		The system was built and used for research on CARDE's Velvet Glove missile, but when this project was cancelled in 1956 the system fell out of use.
		Bull then moved on to hypersonics research in the field of ballistic missile defense (Anti-ballistic missiles, or "ABMs"), primarily the study of infrared and radar cross-sections for detection.

		The armament of the new fighter was to be all-missile, and the missiles were to be stored in an internal missile bay.
		This missile was developed between Sparrow I, a beam-riding missile and the Sparrow III with semi-active radar homing.
		Both missiles were designed for intercepting bombers, and in Vietnam it would be demonstrated that Falcon was nearly useless in fighter-versus-fighter combat.

	Avro Arrow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Velvet Glove radar-guided missile was considered unsuitable for supersonic launch, and further work on that project was cancelled in 1956.
		The USAF was in the process of completely automating their air defense system with the SAGE project, and insisted that the RCAF had to use it as well.
		Now the age of the missile was clear even to the public, and soon the outcry over the cost of the project was reported in the press.

		In addition, a new missile was being developed for the Arrow, and this was a very ambitious one: Sparrow II.
		Velvet Glove was finally cancelled in 1954, and was no longer considered for the Arrow.
		As a long-range missile for the Arrow, the RCAF chose Sparrow II.

	DRE Valcartier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally formed at the end of World War II in 1945 as CARDE, for Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment, the intent was to keep the research teams built up during the war in Canada.
		Starting in 1951 CARDE implemented a major missile development program, eventually delivering two combat systems, the Velvet Glove air-to-air missile and the Heller anti-tank rocket.
		A serious effort to equip Canada with a useful ABM system was taken, along with research into the problems of detection and tracking, hypersonic flight, and fuels suitable for use in an interceptor missile.

		The Velvet Glove was about 3 m (10 ft.) long and weighed about 200 kg (500 lb.) It was powered by a solid rocket motor and equipped with a semi-active radar homing device.
		The radar transmitter was carried in the aircraft and the receiver in the missile, so the pilot had to keep the transmitter aimed at the target while the missile was in flight.
		A total of 131 Velvet Gloves had been completed when the program was terminated in 1956, due largely to the fact that the Velvet Glove had been overtaken by U.S. missiles including the Sparrow II and Sparrow III.

		The tests were successful, and provided the Velvet Glove project team the data essential to proceed with a full-scale launch.
		Velvet Glove had grown to the point where 600 technical personnel were working on it.

		But he also interested the US in using guns to loft missile components for re-entry research, a task that was otherwise very expensive and time-consuming on rockets.
		Construction of the individual sections of the new gun started in England at Matrix Churchill and also in Spain, Holland, and Switzerland.
		At this point Mossad started "warning" him to stop working on the missiles; over a period of a few months his apartment was broken into several times but nothing was stolen.

		Perhaps most importantly, supporters of national missile defense have yet to advance a compelling strategic rationale for such a radical departure.
		The most plausible justification for developing national missile defense is the desire to ensure that weaker states (such as Iraq) are not able to negate U.S. conventional military superiority by threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction.
		This means that the United States should be able to negotiate an agreement that permits a limited deployment (sufficient to protect against accidental launches or very small arsenals) while ensuring that Russia, China, and other nuclear powers remain confident that their own deterrents are not at risk.

		The bomb was the ultimate manifestation of the iron fist that lay beneath the velvet glove of modern nation states.
		These events, coupled with a proposal to deploy INF missiles in Europe in response to the Soviet SS20 deployment, the development of Star Wars proposals, and many other decisions, generated anxiety in the military commands of both the Americans and Soviets as well as huge demonstrations across the European continent.

	Who Caused The Cancellation of the Arrow?
		Floyd’s document proves the US encouraged Canada to take on the weapon, and it seems clear from this document that Easton and/or the RCAF felt that the American encouragement meant that the technology was feasible, and that it was a nice gesture of support for the Arrow programme and Canada’s defence efforts generally.
		To paraphrase what he wrote: “Of course they are encouraging Canada to develop a new missile for the United States free of charge.” ASTRA most definitely appears to fit the same mould.
		This meant that nuclear ground to air missiles would be detonating over Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City, among others, in the case of a Soviet attack.
