SPEAR-EW maintains the same dimensions as SPEAR, but with an enlarged fuel capacity and the removal of the warhead and seeker to accommodate an electronic warfare payload derived from Leonardo UK's BriteCloud countermeasure. SPEAR-EW is designed loiter in contested airspace and act as either a stand-in jammer or a decoy similar to the ADM-160 MALD.
Brimstone is a ground or air-launched ground attack missile developed by MBDA UK for the UK's Royal Air Force. [9] It was originally intended for "fire-and-forget" use against mass formations of enemy armour, using a millimetre wave (mmW) active radar homing seeker to ensure accuracy even against moving targets.
ST Engineering's role in the Blue Spear's development includes the design, development and production of major subsystems like the booster motor and warhead. [ 12 ] In 2021, IAI and Thales jointly marketed a variant of the Gabriel V/Blue Spear called Sea Serpent to the Royal Navy to replace its ageing Harpoon missile system.
The components of a B83 nuclear bomb used by the United States. This is a list of nuclear weapons listed according to country of origin, and then by type within the states. . The United States, Russia, China and India are known to possess a nuclear triad, being capable to deliver nuclear weapons by land, sea and
One payload option could be a thermobaric warhead, essentially turning the MALD into a cruise missile. [32] Raytheon has proposed using MALD-V as a target drone too. [33] MALD-TL Ground-based tube-launch variant, none known to be in use. Mentioned in 2008 [34] and 2010. [33] Other "one-off" variants in the 2010 slides include a "MALD-W" and a ...
The FC/ASW (Future Cruise/Anti-Ship Weapon) or FMAN/FMC in French (Futur Missile Anti-Navire/Futur Missile de Croisière), also dubbed FOSW (Future Offensive Surface Weapon) and SPEAR 5, is a next generation missile programme launched by France and the United Kingdom in 2017 to succeed their jointly-developed Storm Shadow/SCALP as well as their respective Exocet and Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
The spear tip could be easily overlooked to the untrained eye, and for good reason — it’s made of mastodon bone, researchers say. Not the mastodon it was found in, but a different mastodon.
The rocket body was a steel tube 3.25 in (83 mm) in diameter and 55.19 in (1,402 mm) long [4] filled with 5.2 kg (11.5 lb) of cordite propellant, fired electrically. [5] The warhead was screwed into the forward end, and was initially a solid 24 lb 12 oz (11.2 kg), 3.44 in (87 mm) diameter and 12.4 in (310 mm) long (with adaptor) [6] armour ...
