Army Fire Order
Gets New Twist
'Ready, Fire, Aim’
Army Now Has Weap
ons That Aim After
Trigger Is Pulled
The Army now has weapons that
aim themselves after the trigger is
pulled—and it is almost impossible
for them to miss a target.
Enemy planes can dive, climb, bank,
side-slip or turn tail—but the Army’s
new weapons still will knock them out
of the skies.
Fantastic though it may seem, one
of the Army’s surface-to-air missiles
—the Nike—carries a guidance system
designed to allow the missile to out
maneuver and hit enemy aircraft.
Some guided missiles seek their
targets with ingenious guidance de
vices often referred to as the “com
mand,” “beam rider” or ,“hoving”
systems. In the command system, a
ground radar station tracks the mis
sile and its target. An electronic
computer calculates the anglgs neces
sary to assure that the missile hits its
target and transmits instructions to
the missile, which shifts its course ac
cordingly.
A “beam rider” missile follows a
path marked out in space by a radar
beam from the ground. As long as
the beam tracks the target and the
missile stays on the beam, a collision
with the target is inevitable.
“Homing” guidance systems permit
missiles to find their way without “in
structions.” These missiles ride an
“echo” beam reflected from the target
and adjjust their own path until they
meet the target.
Various systems can be used to
guide surface-to-surface missiles to
their targets. These include:
1. The pre-set guidance system.
2. The terrestrial guidance system.
3. The celestial navigation guid
ance system.
4. The radio navigation guidance
system.
5. The inertial guidance system.
A missilfe using the pre-set system
streaks toward a stationary target
along a path determined by settings
made inside the missile prior to its
launching. These settings cannot be
re-adjusted after the missile is in
flight.
Greater accuracy is obtained from
missiles using the terrestrial guidance
system. Missiles using this system
depend on internally-carried devices
designed to react to some phenomena
of the earth. To maintain or change
its course, the missile’s complex nerv
ous system reacts to forces exerted by
the magnetic, electrical or gravita
tional fields of the earth.
The celestial navigation guidance
system is similar to methods used by
mariners at sea. Guidance is obtained
through use of star-tracking tele
scopes locked on previously selected
stars prior to launching. Missiles
using this system cannot be diverted
off course by enemy electronic coun
ter measures.
The Army also uses the radio navi
gation guidance system to send mis
siles along a desired course. Intern
ally-carried radio receivers “listen”
for signals from one or more radio
transmitting stations on the ground to
maintain or adjust the inissile’s
course.
The inertial guidance system re
quires a more complex missile but has
no electronic ground equipment. This
system makes use of a series of sensi
tive “accelerometers” to “tell” the
missile how far it has gone toward a
target. It brings into play other
complex devices to correct flight path
deviations caused by external forces

Travel Record In State
Travel to the two National Park fa
cilities in Western North Carolina
broke all records in May. The Blue
Ridge Parkway was visited by 547,520
persons in 138,692 cars and the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park by
165,067 persons, for a total of 622,587
—an increase of 33 per cent over May
of 1952.
The Blue Ridge Parkway, now the
most used of all National Park facili
ties, meets the Great Smoky Moun
tains National Park in North Carolina
at the new link from Soco Gap on U.S.
19, to Heintooga Overlook, which is
being formally dedicated on June 22,
but has been open to traffic since May.

Comb and brush should always be
kept scrupulously clean. Wash daily
if possible, and always after your hair
has been shampooed. The clea%est hair
is hair that is groomed daily with
clean comb and brush. There is no
point in washing your hair if it is to
be brushed with yesterday’s dust and
oil on your comb and brush.
A warm, friendly smile is a great
personal asset. ,
Every person, young or old, needs
friends. The quality of friendship
must be genuine. A smile reflects our
emotions and philosophy of life.
