SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-11
and when America should be at.
tackled by aircraft or any form oi
aerial missile, a new electronically
guided flying explosive that seeks
out its target will be one of the
country's counterweapons.
That is the report of James C.
Coe, radio engineer active at the
Naval Air Missile Test Center
Speaking before the Institute OF
Radio Engineers yesterday, he de-
scribed methods used in measuring
speed and. performance of such
"homing" missiles.
But security, he said, forbade any
reports of their range or their abil-
ity to find their way to targets.
They have been launched from
land, air and ships-and from one
other place or object which he said
he was not permitted to describe.
During the last war no true
guided missiles were used, although
American guns were firing shells
which exploded automatically when
they neared the targets. The mech
anism was known as q proximity
fuse and could not guide the shell.
