THE TERRIER MISSILE AS WORLD WAR 11 DREW TO A CLOSE HIGH PERFORMANCE JET AIRCRAFT HAD NEARLY REACHED THE OPERATIONAL STORE. SHORTLY THERAFTER IT BECAME APPARANT THAT CON VENTIONAL GUNS WOULD , BE UNABLE TO COPE WITH THE JET AIRCRAFT AND THEIR ADVANCED WEAPON ' S DELIVERY SYSTEMS. THE JETS FLEW TOO FAST. TOO FAR, AND TOO HIGH FOR THE CAPABILITIES OF THE GUNS OF THE FLEET. GUIDED MISSILES WERETHE LOGICAL ANSWER, AND THE NOW FAMOUS BUMBLEBEE PROGRAM COM- MENCED IN 1950 TO DEVELOP AN ACCEPTABLE SURFACE-TO-AIR GUIDED MISSILE. TERRIER WAS THE RESULT . TERRIER IS A SUPERSONIC , TWO-STAGE .SOLID FUEL .BEAM R I DING GU IDE D M ISS ILE .SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR MEDIUM RANGE AIR TARGETS . THE SOLID FUEL BOOSTER GENERATES MANY TONS OF THRUST SO THAT IN A MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS THE MISSILE IS PROPELLED TO ITS DESIGNED SUPERSONIC OPERATIONS SPEED. THE EXPENDED BOOSTER I S UNLATCHED FROM THE M ISS I LE AND JETISONED . THE ROCKET MOTOR WITHIN THE MISSILE IS THEN ACTIVATED TO SUSTAIN THE MISSILE AT ITS SUPERSONIC SPEED, TERRIER IS GUIDED TOT HETARGET BY A GUIDANCE RADAR BEAM TRANSMITTED FROM THE SHIPS MISSILE GUIDANCE RADAR. THE MISSILE CAN SENSE ITS POSITION WITHIN THE BEAM. THE BRAIN OFTHE MISSILE RESPONDS WITH ORDERS TO THE MISSILE WINGS WHICH ARE POSITIONED TO DIRECT THE MISSILE TO THE CENTER OF THE BEAM. THE BEAM IS CONTINUALLY TRACK ING THE TARGET AIRCRAFT SO THAT TERRIER FLIES ON INTER- CEPT TRAJECTORY. WHEN THE MISSILE IS WITHIN LETHAL RANGE THE HIGH EXPLOSIVE CONTROLLED FRAGMENTATION WARHEAD IS DETONATED CAUSING DESTRUCTION OF THE TARGET. THECOMPLETE TERRIER ROUND IS NEARLY 30 FEET LONG AND WEIGHS ABOUT 1 1 a TONS. ITS RANGE IS IN EXCESS OF 1 MILES , AND IT CAN OPERATE AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 40 ,000 FEET.
