Requirements for Cameras in Guided Missiles

Robert M. Betty

While missiles of various types have been known for centuries, the existence of a missile industry dates from the German V-1 and V-2 programs of the last war. The years following the end of that war saw this nation and others continue work based in part on German experience. Information gained in this manner, plus increased world tensions, resulted in greatly expanded research and development programs only a few years after the conclusion of World War II. Today, we find ourselves at the beginning of what might become one of the largest research, development and production programs ever attempted by man.
