Battles With Rockets
And CrewIess Planes
Forecast by Arnold

Wars of the future may be fought
with crewless bombers and rocket
projectiles capable of striking ac-
curately at distances computed in
thousands of miles, Gen. Henry H.
Arnold believes.
The commanding general of the
Army Air Forces. disclosed yester-
day that successful experiments
were made more than year ago
to conduct bombs to their target
by television.
In the light of weapons and tech
niques already available, "or known
to be available" Gen. Arnold said
the war of the future, If there is
one, will see these weapons in use:
/. Manned or pilotless aircraft
travelling at supersonic speeds. With
such speeds. aerial combat as we
know it-ighters seeking out other
fighters or bombers and exchanging
gunfire in an attempt to shoot each
other down-will disappear" he said.

3. Greater developments in thu
field of defense both against aircraft
and against guided missiles b,
means OF "target-seeking" antiair'
cSaft missiles of rocket or othel
type. Against the supersonic planes
and the highly developed guided

! that defense in the form of mis-.
siles automatically seeking out thost
planes and missiles and destroying
them, or some of them, in the air
or the stratosphere. or the iono'
sphere, will be developed" he said
