The Polaris missile was a two-stage solid-fuel nuclear-armed submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) built during the Cold War by Lockheed Corporation of California for the United States Navy. It was designed to be used as part of the Navy's contribution to the United States arsenal of nuclear weapons, replacing the Regulus cruise missile. Known as a Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM), the Polaris was first launched from the Cape Canaveral, Florida, missile test base on January 7, 1960.

Following the Polaris Sales Agreement in 1963, Polaris missiles were also carried on British Royal Navy submarines between 1968 and the mid-1990s.

The Polaris missile was gradually replaced in the US Navy by the Poseidon missile, beginning in 1972. During the 1980s, these missiles were replaced on the newest ten of the boats by the Trident I missile.]]>

In June 1953 Vought received a contract to develop a supersonic successor to the SSM-N-8/RGM-6 Regulus cruise missile. The new missile was named Regulus II (although it was a completely new missile, and not a development of Regulus) and received the designation SSM-N-9. The SSM-N-9 designator had been previously assigned temporarily to the MGM-18 Lacrosse missile, before the latter was transferred to the Army as SSM-G-12. ]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/vought-regulus-ii/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/vought-regulus-ii/ Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:49:57 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/vought-regulus-ii/ 34.13286200 -119.09831700 <![CDATA[White Sands Missile Range Missile Park]]>

The MGR-1 Honest John missile was the first nuclear-capable surface-to-surface rocket in the US arsenal. Designated Artillery Rocket XM31, the first such missile was tested in 1951 and deployed in January 1953. The designator was changed to M31 in September, 1953 and were deployed in Europe several months later. Alternatively, the missile was designed to be capable of carrying ordinary high-explosive warheads, even though that was not the primary purpose for which it was envisioned. It featured in the BBC docudrama The War Game in battlefield scenes in Berlin.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/mgr-1-honest-john-missile/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/mgr-1-honest-john-missile/ Sat, 31 Jan 2009 11:44:24 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/mgr-1-honest-john-missile/ 35.50946100 -97.47308500 <![CDATA[Jupiter Missile at Virginia Museum of Transportation]]>

The CIM-10 Bomarc (originally IM-99) was the product of the Bomarc Missile Program. The Program was a joint United States of America–Canada effort between 1957 and 1972 to protect against the USSR bomber threat. The Bomarc was a joint development with Boeing and Michigan Aeronautical Research Center. It involved the deployment of tactical stations armed with Bomarc missiles along the east and west coasts of North America and the central areas of the continent. BOMARC and the SAGE guidance system were phased out in the early 1970s since they seemed to be ineffective and costly. Neither of these systems was ever used in combat, so while their combat effictiveness remains untested, they are still perceived as having been an important deterrent.]]>

UGM-27 Polaris A-1 missile

The Polaris missile was a submarine-launched, two-stage solid-fuel nuclear-armed ballistic missile (SLBM) built during the Cold War by Lockheed for the United States Navy. It was designed to be used as part of the US Navy's contribution to the United States' arsenal of nuclear weapons, replacing the Regulus cruise missile. Known as a Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM), it first flew from Cape Canaveral on January 7, 1960.

Following the Polaris Sales Agreement in 1963 Polaris missiles were also carried on UK submarines between 1968 and the mid 1990s.

Polaris began to be replaced in the US Navy by Poseidon beginning in 1972. In the 1980s both were replaced by Trident I.]]>

Thor was the first operational ballistic missile in the arsenal of the United States. Thor was 65 feet (20 m) in height and 8 feet (2.4 m) in diameter. Named after the Norse god of Thunder, it was deployed in the UK between 1959 and September 1963 as an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) with thermonuclear warheads. It was later augmented in the U.S. IRBM arsenal by the PGM-19 Jupiter.

A large family of space launch vehicles — the Delta rockets — were derived from the Thor design. A modified version is still in use today at the first stage of the Delta II.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/pgm-17-thor-intermediate-range-ballistic-missile/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/pgm-17-thor-intermediate-range-ballistic-missile/ Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:28:10 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/pgm-17-thor-intermediate-range-ballistic-missile/ 34.91248300 -117.92117400 <![CDATA[MGR-1 Honest John rocket (?)]]>

The MGR-1 Honest John missile was the first nuclear-capable surface-to-surface rocket in the US arsenal. Designated Artillery Rocket XM31, the first such missile was tested in 1951 and deployed in January 1953. The designator was changed to M31 in September, 1953 and were deployed in Europe several months later. It is important to note that alternatively, the missile was designed to be capable of carrying ordinary high-explosive warheads, even though that was not the primary purpose for which it was envisioned.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/mgr-1-honest-john-rocket/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/mgr-1-honest-john-rocket/ Thu, 31 Jan 2008 22:30:19 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/mgr-1-honest-john-rocket/ 50.95626300 5.58355200 <![CDATA[Rockets on static display]]>

The LGM-30 Minuteman is a United States nuclear missile, a land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). As of 2007, it is the only land-based ICBM in service in the United States. It is complemented by the sea-launched Trident missile SLBM and by nuclear weapons carried by long-range strategic bombers; see current status of United States nuclear weapons.

The “L” indicates that the missile is silo-launched; the “G” indicates that it is designed to attack ground targets; the “M” indicates that it is a guided missile.

The name “Minuteman” comes from the Revolutionary War’s Minutemen. The Air Force planned to keep the missile in service until 2020, but it may be upgraded to stay in service until 2040.]]>

This vehicle was the last engineering model, or Engineering Test Unit, of a mobile, radiation-hardened, truck launcher designed to carry and launch the MGM-134A Small Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (unofficially known as the 'Midgetman'). It can travel up to 55 mph on the highway, and it can also travel off the road. The vehicle is capable of using the trailer-mounted plow to dig the launcher into the earth for additional protection from a nuclear blast.

The ETU tractor-launcher combination weighs 239,000 pounds and has a draw bar pull capability of more than 80,000 pounds. It is powered by a 1,200-hp Rolls-Royce Perkins diesel engine that drives all eight tractor wheels through an electro-hydraulic transmission.

The ETU was designed and built by Boeing Aerospace and Electronics and by Loral Defense Systems Division. It was delivered to the USAF in December 1988 and tested until 1991 at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont.

The museum acquired it in 1992 after development of the MGM-134A SICBM was canceled. ]]>

The Raytheon MIM-23 HAWK is an American medium range surface-to-air missile. HAWK is an acronym or possibly a backronym for Homing All the Way Killer. The HAWK was initially designed to destroy aircraft and was later adapted to destroy other missiles in flight. The missile entered service in 1960, and a program of extensive upgrades has kept it from becoming obsolete. It was superseded by the MIM-104 Patriot in US Army service by 1994. It was finally phased out of US service in 2002, the last users, the US Marine Corps replacing it with the man-portable ir-guided visual range FIM-92 Stinger. The missile was also produced outside the US in Western Europe and Japan.

It saw combat in a variety of wars, although it was never fired in anger by US forces which have rarely been attacked from the air since WWII. Approximately 40,000 of the missiles were produced.

Janes reports that the original systems single shot kill probability was 0.56, I-HAWK improved this to 0.85.

Similar Soviet systems are the SA-3 and SA-6.]]>

Approximately the size of the U.S. Minuteman ICBM, the SS-25 carries a single-warhead atop a three stage system. The SS-25 is road mobile, making the missile inherently survivable and capable of reload/refire operations. It can fire from field deployment sites or through the sliding roof garage it occupies at its base. The SS-25 joined operational Soviet SRF regiments in 1985. A total area of approximately 190,000 square kilometers could be required to deploy a force consisting of 500 road-mobile SS-25 ICBMs. A much higher number of personnel for the maintenance of the mobile versions than for the fixed missiles, and the maintenance and operation of mobile ICBMs are significantly more expensive.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/ss-25-tel-mobile-icbm-launcher-and-shelter/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/ss-25-tel-mobile-icbm-launcher-and-shelter/ Tue, 15 May 2007 10:35:27 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/ss-25-tel-mobile-icbm-launcher-and-shelter/ 53.22457700 84.67394300 <![CDATA[MR-UR-100 Sotka (SS-17) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)]]>

The MR-UR-100 Sotka was a MIRV-warhead intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed and deployed by the Soviet Union from 1978 to 1993. The missile was given the NATO reporting name SS-17 Spanker and was built under the Soviet industry designation 15A15. An alternative designation for the missile is the UR-100MR.
The MR-UR-100 project was developed by OKB-586. The purpose was to develop a MIRV capable replacement for the existing UR-100 missiles in service. While designed to fit into existing UR-100 silos, it still required some modification of existing silos to accommodate the new missile, due to its requirement for a cold-launch system.

The development of "modernized UR-100" was authorized on 19 August 1970 (document №682-218) and assigned to both OKB-586 and TsKBM (author of UR-100). Flight tests were conducted from 1971 through 1974. Deployment commenced in December of 1978. The more advanced MR-UR-100UTTh version began development in 1979, with flight tests from 1977 through 1979. The new missiles had completely replaced the original version by 1983, at which time the Soviets fielded 270 launchers. From there the number of launchers declined, and by 1991 START I Treaty they were down to 76. All were scheduled for dismantling and removed from the inventory. [wikipedia]]]>

The LGM-30 Minuteman is a United States nuclear missile, a land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). As of 2006, it is the only land-based ICBM in service in the United States. It is complemented by the sea-launched Trident missile SLBM and by nuclear weapons carried by long-range strategic bombers; see current status of United States nuclear weapons.

The “L” indicates that the missile is silo-launched; the “G” indicates that it is designed to attack surface targets; the “M” indicates that it is a guided missile.

The name “Minuteman” comes from the Revolutionary War’s Minutemen.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/minuteman-ii-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-icbm-lgm30f/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/minuteman-ii-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-icbm-lgm30f/ Sun, 11 Mar 2007 21:31:13 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/minuteman-ii-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-icbm-lgm30f/ 33.88325600 -117.26744400 <![CDATA[Hawk Missile at Hazlet High School]]>

Built in 1972, the deactivated missile stands 16 feet and weighs 3,351 pounds. It was donated to the school by the U.S. Army after district Superintendent Timothy P. Noguiera and former Raritan High principal Mark DeMareo contacted Army Maj. Gen. Otto J. Gunther, a former commanding general at Fort Monmouth and mutual acquaintance of the two educators.

"It was a great thing," said Noguiera. "And it cost us nothing."

Gunther had the rocket shipped to the school after he found it among Army surplus stored at the Red River Army Depot in Texarkana, Texas. The old rocket -- a 12-foot bullet-shaped structure -- was moved and now sits at the entrance of the school's athletic field. It came from the Earle Naval Weapons Station. A student who graduated in the 1960s built it for an Eagle Scout project, according to Noguiera.

When the new rocket arrived it was Army green and was repainted in the school's colors -- green and white. In early December 1995 it was officially unveiled to the public. Today it sits in front of the school, atop two metal poles and concrete pillars.]]>

Concerns about the vulnerability of the B-52 to interception by Soviet defenses led to the creation of the Hound Dog missile in 1957. The cruise missile was designed to be launched from outside the range of Soviet air defenses and fly at Mach 2 at high altitude and to carry a four-megaton nuclear warhead. Each B-52 could carry two Hound Dogs on external pylons under the wings. A unique feature of the missile is that its jet engine could be used to provide extra thrust for the aircraft carrying it during takeoff, it would then be refueled from the bomber’s fuel tanks before launch. A total of 600 Hound Dogs were built. They served from 1961 to 1978.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/north-american-agm-28a-hound-dog-nuclear-cruise-missile/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/north-american-agm-28a-hound-dog-nuclear-cruise-missile/ Fri, 22 Dec 2006 11:59:09 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/north-american-agm-28a-hound-dog-nuclear-cruise-missile/ 32.13836500 -110.87073700 <![CDATA[Douglas SM-75 Thor Rocket]]>

The Thor is a single-stage, liquid-fueled rocket first built in 1956 as an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) capable of delivering a nuclear warhead over a range of about 1,500 miles. The first successful test flight was conducted in September 1957 and approval for full-scale production and deployment followed soon after. A total of 60 Thor missiles were deployed operationally in Great Britain under the joint control of the Royal Air Force and the U.S. Air Force. The British were responsible for maintaining and launching the rockets while the nuclear warheads remained under the control of the United States. The four RAF squadrons of Thor missiles became active in 1959 and served until 1963 when the missiles were deactivated and returned to the United States. Thor missiles saw later service as satellite launch vehicles and in other military programs. The Delta series of rockets is a direct descendant of the Thor.]]>

The U.S. Naval Museum of Armament and Technology at China Lake was established when the Secretary of the Navy signed out SECNAVNOTE 5755 on 12 May 2000. The museum is a showcase for past and current Center products and programs and provides an amenable environment for briefings and presentations to off-Center visitors.

The Museum contains one of the finest publicly accessible collections of tactical air weaponry and technology anywhere. The display collection ranges from WWII rockets to cutting-edge guided missiles and includes familiar items like Sidewinder, Shrike, and Tomahawk alongside weapon systems that can be seen nowhere else—Agile, ACIMD, Bulldog, and Advanced Bomb Family (to name but a few). Videos covering China Lake projects and history may be viewed there as well.

Outdoor exhibits include the Polaris missile and historically significant aircraft such as the XF4D-1, F11F, and a restored HH-1K helicopter gunship. Exhibits to be added include NTA-4F, A-7E, HH- 1K, F-111B, QF-86, DF-8L, RA-5C, AV-8A, A-6E, and F/A-18A ("Hornet 1") aircraft; several significant range instrumentation and target items; and a tribute to the Center's Search-and-Rescue (SAR) teams, including a UH-1 SAR helo. ]]>
