Language (ISO): | en |
Abstract: | The project ‘Preventive Arms Control for Small and Very Small Armed Aircraft and Missiles’ investigates the properties of ever smaller aircraft and missiles. This project report no. 2 covers the status of missiles worldwide. Small and very small missiles are defined by diameter: below 69 mm and up to 40 mm, respectively. After an explanation of missile classes and typical properties, a short introduction into rocket propulsion and aerodynamics is given. A technical overview describes the components of a missile. A few example types are shown and potential military uses are discussed. The worldwide survey has resulted in a database that contains 50 types from 17 countries. The publicly available properties are given in 24 categories. Statistical evaluations cover several key parameters. |
