• Last ditch air-defence: the ultimate umbrella: originally intended to safeguard forward troops from direct attacks by low-flying aircraft, very-short-range air-defence (V-Shorad) guided missiles are being developed into high-lethality systems to protect ground and naval units, against not only aircraft, but also cruise missiles, reconnaissance and attack drones and air-launched tactical weapons, including precision-guided bombs.

The final decades of the 20th century brought advances in military technology that exacerbated demands on V-Shorad systems, the last line of defence....

• Land-based Vshorad and Shorad systems; the protection of high-value ground targets against attacks by fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and cruise missiles demands an integrated, multi-layer air defence system.

• Far reaching propositions: sea-based, barrel-launched guided projectiles and conventionally armed cruise missiles are already demonstrating considerable effectiveness. The same is true of land-based weapons. Several countries are now working to exploit the full potential of such weapon systems for the precision engagement of critical targets at the beachhead, on the extended battle-field and far beyond.

The emergence of ship- and submarine-launched cruise missiles as the precision weapon of choice in all recent major conflicts, coupled with America's...

• Bolt from a more distant blue: between the two extremes of low-cost guided bombs (see Armada 1/2002) and expensive long-range cruise missiles (3/2001) there exists a need for cost-effective tactical air-to-ground guided weapons that can deliver suitable warheads precisely and from a safe distance against high-value, hardened, mobile or multiple targets by day and night and under all weather conditions.

Even when released from high altitude, simple ballistic ordnance has a forward throw of less than ten kilometres, and similar distances may be achieve...

• Hale high in the sky: turbine-engined unmanned aircraft with long-span wings offer the prospect of high-altitude, long endurance (Hale) surveillance of enemy territory; their cruise height of over 30,000 feet provides a long range to their sensor horizon and, given some degree of stealth, possible immunity from all but the most advanced air defence systems.

It is believed that the first trials with a camera-equipped remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) were carried out at the German Air Force's Rechlin flight t...
