RIM-67A PLAN PAK
This missile was developed in the early 1960's as part of a
series intended to replace the Tartar and Terrier missiles. STANDARD
incorporated several variations for different mission profiles, as is
demonstrated by the AGM-78. This was capable of intercepting targets
at ranges of up to 60 miles. This two-stage missile was usually fired from
overhead rail launchers, although the medium range, single stage variant has
been fitted with folding fins to fit a more compact box launcher. STANDARD
forms part of the complex Aegis ship-defense system.
This is the largest Plan-Pak missile THE LAUNCH PAD has ever
designed! Our 1/5.2 scale model of this important naval weapon towers more
than 62 inches tall! The booster blasts this rocket skyward with the power
of three "D" motors, and another "D" takes over to loft the
upper stage to apogee! The booster stage returns safely on its own
24" diameter parachute, while an 18" diameter 'chute cushions the
landing of the upper stage. RIM-67A uses the latest improved version of
our special LAUNCH PAD self contained electrical ignition system for reliable
air-start. Because of the size of this rocket, a four-foot long, 1/4"
diameter launch rod or a split-rail launcher is recommended, as is a 12 volt
launch system for reliable ignition of clustered motors.
NOTE!: This Plan-Pak rocket can use THE LAUNCH PAD's STANDARD
AGM-78 kit for the airframe of the upper stage. All internal modifications
for this use are shown in the RIM-67A Plan-Pak.
