Browsing a marketing website for a missile system is a bit surreal.
- rdl 8y agoIt successfully makes me want to build my own.
- varenc 8y agoIt is! I find the writing fascinating...especially the overly aggro names like "Switchblade®" and the funny phrases like "man-portable delivery system", "warfighter", and "wave-off capability". (not sure what that last one means...) It also seems like the URL actually has a typo? The page has the title "Tactical Missile Systems" but the URL is for "/tactical-mission-systems"

- L_226 8y agoWave-off means that you can abort the missile strike post-launch if you realise you haven't identified your target correctly.
- cabalamat 8y ago> especially the overly aggro names like "Switchblade®" I think I would have called it a Knife Missile :-)
- mcguire 8y agoCome visit Huntsville, AL, sometime. It's the home of U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command. The airport is full of posters and displays for various defense contractors.
