The Air Force released information on its new Falcon guided missile, removing secrecy around the weapon. Described as the first air-to-air missile with an autonomous targeting brain, it highlights advanced guidance features and potential combat roles.
The Air Force described the Falcon as the first line of defense against air attack. The small guided missile, built with built in guidance and refinements, is produced and to be supplied to all weather fighter interceptor units in the Arctic and other remote posts. The Sparrow is already in use by the Navy, while Hughes Aircraft Co. in Culver City Calif produces the Falcon. The cigar shaped missile, carried under a jet fighter wing, traces its development from 1947 and aims to outperform ordinary rockets.
The pilot detects an approaching bomber and locks the target on radar. An electronic computer automatically fires the Falcon missile, which has an effective killing range of three to five miles according to the Air Force.
