Guided aircraft rocket

Guided Aircraft Rocket (GAR). A rocket-powered guided missile designed to be launched from an aircraft in flight Ref GlossaryOrdn (1959), 141-L... 

V. Jot os consist of propelling-type motors used to furnish auxiliary thrust in the launching of aircraft, rockets, guided missiles, target drones and mine clearing detonating cables... 

In order that a rocket may be launched on a definite trajectory, a device called a launcher is required. Aside from providing means for initiating ignition of the rocket propint, the launcher is required only to aim the rocket. Consequently, rocket launchers may be so light and portable that they are wheel-mounted or motorized, aircraft-mounted, or, in the case of the bazooka, designed to be carried about by a man. They utilize rails, posts, tubes, or other devices to both carry and guide the rocket. Thus, rockets can be fired from aircraft and from ground areas inaccessible to conventional artillery... 

Liquid propellant engines have been used for many years to propel aircraft, guided missiles, rockets, research devices, and other types of vehicles. They have provided thrust levels ranging firom a few ounces for altitude control to several hundred thousand pounds for the earth launching of vehicles. 

Antisubmarine Weqpons include guns, mines, nets booms, projector charges, bombs, depth charges depth bombs, torpedoes(aircraft, surface and submarine launched), rockets and guided missiles Ref H.P.Cooper,Ordnance 36,583—5(1952)... 

Military INS and GPS Uses. Flight instrumentation and avionics are used by military aircraft as well as civilian aircraft, but the military have many other applications. INS is used in guided missiles and submarines. It can also be used as a stand-alone navigational system in vehicles that do not want to communicate with outside sources for security purposes. INS and GPS are used in bombs, rockets, and, with great success, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that are used for reconnaissance as well as delivering ordnance without placing a pilot in harm s way. GPS is used in almost all military vehicles such as tanks, ships, armored vehicles, and cars, but not in submarines as the satellite signals will not penetrate deep water. GPS is also used by the United States Nuclear Detonation Detection System as the satellites carry nuclear detonation detectors.
