Sparrow 2 Missile
Dating from the mid-1950's, the Sparrow 2 was a highly maneuverable air-to-air missile designed for U.S. Navy aircraft. It was similar to the Sparrow I, America's first operational air-to-air guided missile, but had a more advanced guidance system. The Sparrow family of missiles originated in 1946 and became one of the largest and most important missile programs for the United States, NATO, and other U.S. allies. A branch of the Sparrow family exists today in the AIM-7 series of missiles. |
