Abstract

TO the guided weapon industry in Britain, a trend in the last few years has regrettably been very apparent—fewer and foreign. Of contemporary weapons we can justifiably be proud of our national products so far as the design and performance is concerned, although certain of them have taken a depressingly long time to reach fully operational service. The quality of UK weapons is certainly on a healthy upward trend; however, the national armoury has undergone a considerable change over the last decade or so, since the first generation was conceived due to the influence of international arming.
