Canada

Variants of the Falcon AIM-4D missile were used by nine countries. The Canadian Armed forces mounted missiles like these on its CF-101 Voodoo aircraft.

Fonction

A missile directed to its target either by pre-setting or self- reacting devices or by radio or wire command from outside missile.

Technique

The Falcon was the first anti-aircraft missile in the world to enter operational service, and was first produced in 1954. It was developed by Hughes Aircraft to a United States Air Force requirement issued in 1947 for a radar-based fire-control system and guided missile for the next generation of manned interceptor aircraft. It was small, fast and agile, but was developed over the years into many forms, either radar seeking or infra-red seeking, with different guidance systems. The OR-homing Falcons were missiles that homed on the heat emitted by enemy aircraft. Of the many versions produced, the final production Falcon was the AIM-4D of 1963. It was the only Falcon tailored for anti-fighter combat and combined the smaller airframe of earlier versions with the powerful motor and advanced IR seeker that allowed the previous AIM-4G version to lock-on to smaller targets at greater ranges. The result was a fast and effective short range missile. 4000 AIM-4D's were produced and 8000 other variants were re-manufactured to this standard.
