Another Army Missile: Mobile Sergeant To Succeed Corporal

摘要

The Sergeant, the Army's newest ballistic surface-to-surface missile, possesses a high degree of accuracy and reliability, which has been demonstrated in flight tests under all operating conditions. It is more powerful and more accurate than the four-year-old Corporal and, when placed in production, will replace the Corporal in the field. A highly mobile weapon, the Sergeant can be emplaced and fired quickly by a very small crew in any weather or terrain condi-rntions. Its soiid-propellant rocket motor can hurl it far behind enemy lines to deliver an atomic warhead, and its extremely accurate guidance system is. invulnerable to any known means of enemy countermeasures.
