Patriot Missile

The air defense missile was developed to protect army units against the
threat of enemy jet aircraft. Inspect the latest in air defense technology,
the legendary Patriot missile system.

Missile Air Defense: Air defense first became practical in the years of
following World War II. Take a look at the wide variety of air defense
missiles in service now with the U.S. Army: Singer, Chaparral and Hawk.

Patriot: The Patriot represents the latest in radar-guided anti-aircraft
missiles. Visit Ft. Bliss, Texas and see how the Patriot missile works.

Scud Busters: Shooting down one missile with another is almost as
difficult as hitting a moving bullet with another bullet. The Patriot is the
first air defense missile in history to shoot down another missile in combat.

Blazing Skies: Special improvements were added to Patriot to give it the
capability to shoot down enemy missiles. Veteran Patriot crews from
Operation Desert Storm describes how they managed to shoot down Scud
missiles during the war.



Guided Bomb

Pin-point accuracy has been the dream of warriors since ancient times.
But only now, with the advent of computers and laser technology, have
weapons with true pinpoint accuracy become possible. Witness how
these remarkable weapons were invented.

Glide Bomb: Some of the most effective weapons of World War II have
remained hidden until now.  This program provides a rare glimpse at
some of the most secret weapons of World War II including the dreaded
German Fritz X guided bomb, the scourge of Allied warships during the
naval battles in the Mediterranean. Not all early guided weapons were
successful. Examine some of the weird failure such as the American
pigeon-guided bomb!

Laser Accuracy: The invention of the laser made pin-point accuracy
possible. Find out how the first laser-guided bombs were invented, and
see how they work in fascinating computer animations. From thousands
of feet in the air, supersonic aircraft can hit targets only a few feet in size.

Desert Storm: The most vivid images to have emerged from Operation
Desert Storm were scenes of precision guided bombs. Time after time, with
pin-point accuracy, these weapons flew unerringly into their targets. Actual
footage from the cockpits of combat aircraft shows how new guided weapons
have revolutionized modern warfare.
