Abstract

The document is the first progress report on an investigation of guidance, propulsion, launching, and supersonic aerodynamics leading to the design of a ground-to-air guided missile, capable of intercepting and destroying hostile aircraft operating at altitudes up to 500,000 feet, at speeds up to 4,000 mph, and at ranges sufficient to prevent damage to the defended area. The report deals with the kinds of problems being considered in the various phases of the work.
