What type of missile was the German A4 Missile?
The German A4/V2 Missile was a Ballistic Missile. A ballistic missile is a missile that follows an sub orbital ballistic flightpath with the objective of delivering one or more warheads to a predetermined target. The missile is only guided during the relatively brief initial powered phase of flight and its course is subsequently governed by the laws of orbital mechanics and ballistics. Up to now all ballistic missiles have been propelled during powered flight by a chemical rocket engines of various types.
How does a patriot missile stop an incoming SCUD missile?
Well, what you and I need to know first and foremost is that modern missiles such as Sparrow and Patriot MIM use ARH(Active radar homing).With ARH, a missile such as a Patriot (MIM-104) can and does detect radar bouncing off of its target(an Iraqi Scud-B missile in this case).Note that a missile that uses ARH is equipped with a radar transmitter to emit radar pulses to "illuminate" the target, a radar detector(reciever) to pick-up/detect radar pulses reflected off the target, some guidance control(could be inertial, optical, e.t.c) to guide the missile to its target, and an onboard computer and some logic to process signals.In other words picture this: a Scud is in air,and as we all know, emits waves: EM waves,in particular IR waves.So a ground-based radar station would mount equipment to detect missiles in air(could mount a radar dish, such as the big ones you see in movies) . How a radar detector works, ...read more!!.Thus, the ground-based station illuminates the target(Scud) with radar signals, abd some of those signals are reflected off the target back to the ground-based radar station, these signals are processed to acquired flight information(coordinates of target, trajectory, speed, direction,...). Then this information about the target is "fed" or programmed into the Patriot missile for initial flight phase.OK, with that information loaded inside it, the patriot is launched. After launching the Patriot, the ground-based radar station is USELESS...i.e. it is NOT needed for the rest of the missile's flight, hence the name Active Radar Homing, as opposed to SARH. Using the pre-programmed information loaded inside it, in addition to its on-board ARH system,the Patriot will locate its target.How? Radar beams are emitted off the missile's on-board radar emitter towards the target,and some of those waves are reflected off the target(scud), back to the patriot for processing(error correction, trajectory change, distance,speed). This process continues until the patriot "realises" the target(scud) is closer enough. At that stage the patriot will lock on to the target, and upon impact, detonate the high explosive devise, and what??? BOOOOM :) the target is destroyed......as well as the patriot too(the saddest part).==>contrast this guidance method with the Track-Via-Missile method.
If a nuclear missile missed dc as target where would it land?
That would depend entirely upon several factors, such as; from where the missile was launched, what it's range was, the reason for the miss, etc. With the information (or lack of) information you have provided, the only answer that can be made is, 'somewhere other than Washington DC'.
Which fuel use in missile?
Missile fuel
What do the Cubans call the Cuban Missile Crisis?

What Is It Called When Cupid Misses His Target?
When Cupid misses his target, it is referred to as a "missed shot" or "misfire."
What is a missile?
a missle is a kind of bomb# An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped, or otherwise projected at a target; a projectile. # A guided missile. # A ballistic missile. # An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped, or otherwise projected at a target; a projectile. # A guided missile. # A ballistic missile.
How missile blast when it is closer to the target?
The warhead in some missiles is configured with a proximity fuse which is designed to detonate the payload when the missile reaches a preset distance from the target.
What is an air ball?
An air ball is, in the game of basketball, a thrown ball which misses the target and fails to touch the net or hoop, or, by extension, any ball which widely misses its target when thrown.
What must be the minimum velocity of a missile if it is to strike a target 100 meters away?
The minimum velocity of the missile would depend on the time it takes for the missile to reach the target. If the missile travels 100 meters in 1 second, then the minimum velocity would be 100 m/s.
Is a surface to air missile?
A missile fired from the surface (ie the ground) intended to hit a target in the air (ie a plane) A missle fired on the ground that seeks out an airborne target.
How do you aim a missile at a target?
aircraft: get a radar fix on the target. the computer projects a funnel of invisible photons centred on the target from the missiles launch place. the computer will keep this 'funnel' centred on the target. fire the missile. the missile can detect the photons and will alter fin positions to move towords the center of the photon funal. the missile stays on a direct corse fot the target. time from launch to impact: less than one second land: program the missile with a course to follow to reach its target. fire it ship/submarine: place a metal detector into the torpedo and program it to move towords the strongest signal in a paticuler direction
Do 3rd and 4th generation IR surface to air missile require lead and elevation if yes then why?
Yes, 3rd and 4th generation IR surface to air missiles do require lead and elevation because these parameters are necessary for the missile to accurately intercept a target. Lead accounts for the target's movement, adjusting the missile's trajectory to intercept the target at the right point. Elevation ensures that the missile is launched at the correct angle to reach the target at a specific altitude.
How is a missile guided to its target?
Missiles are guided to their target using various guidance systems, such as inertial navigation, GPS, radar, or laser guidance. These systems continuously track the missile's position and correct its trajectory to ensure it reaches the intended target accurately. The specific guidance system used depends on the type of missile and its intended mission.
How does a missile work?
Missiles have a guidance system, a "brain" (computer), telemetry gear, warhead (or payload), fuel, and fins. They are either active, semi-active, or passive. Active means that they send out their own RF (radio frequency) trying to identify the target. Think of it as a dolphin trying to find a fish using echolocation. It's the same principle. The reflected RF is returned to the missile and its computer adjusts its current course accordingly to the target. A semi-active missile has a third party source transmitting RF towards the target and the reflection is returned to the missile. A passive missile uses RF emissions from the target as it's homing. Essentially, the target itself is telling the missile where it is.
What are the trajectories of Surface-to-Surface Missile?
The parabolic arc of a SSM is determined by both the launch and target site coordinates and the flight characteristics of the particular missile. Imagine throwing a baseball and then a frisbee to hit the same target - each will fly differently to accomplish the same goal.
Is missile a verb?
No, the word 'missile' is a noun, a singular, common, concrete noun; a word for an object that is forcibly propelled at a target, a word for a thing.
