Missile Guidance and Control Systems

Immediately following the closing phase of World War II, and in particular in 1950 with the involvement in the Korean conflict, the United States embarked on a crash program of missile research and development. Some of these missiles, in particular those developed in the years 1950 1964, are listed in Table F.1.
