FOREWORD This is the Seventh Edition of the WORLD'S MISSILE SYSTEMS, de­ signed as a reference compendium of the world's currently used or produced guided missiles.

It is published by the Pomona Division

of General Dynamics Corporation for use by its personnel, and for the use the free world military.

This edition is similiar in content, but somewhat differently or­ ganized, than the previous editions.

The main body of text is

composed of two facing sheets for each missile program; the left page a data sheet, the right page provides illustrations of the missile and associated equipment.

But, instead of being organized

by mission, all missiles are listed alphabetically, either by thei proper names, or lacking same, by their designation. Mission per­ spective is provided by the Table of Contents, which lists the

mission and the producing country, as well as the page number.

Also the data sheet has been redesigned to provide a quick-scan

perspective of mission, trajectory, launch platform, target, and required after-launch action.

And, this year, we give all dimen­

sions in both Metric and English units.

For the Seventh Edition, a much more strict definition of guided missile was adopted.

To be considered as a guided missile, two

criteria must be satisified: a. the projectile must provide propulsive impulse after lea­ ving the launcher.

b. during flight, the projectile must generate or receive, and respond to course correction signals. The use of this definition has eliminated a few previous entries

such as Walleye and Copperhead.

The only exceptions taken were

for the Soviet Frog series of battlefield rockets, which are usual
