Examples of design developments of tactical missiles are given to illustrate the contribution of new ideas to the improvement of military missiles. These developments include placing forward the propulsion section of antitank missiles to improve efficiency by automatically providing a standoff distance; the modification of the Exocet antiship missile to a Mach 2 velocity; an improved guiding system and a main propulsion assured by ramjet engine; and an antimissile missile with a very short reaction time combining rocket engine and aerodynamic forces to provide a high precision guiding system. The design and test facilities required are also discussed.
