From 1962 the U.S. Department of Defense established a unified missile and rocket designation sequence, which is used in all weapons of the kind produced in the USA. ==Explanation== The basic designation of every guided missile is based in a set of letters, which are in sequence. The sequence indicates the following: : * The environment from which the weapon is launched : * The primary mission of the weapon : * The type of weapon Examples of guided missile designators are as follows: : * AGM - (A) Air-launched (G) Surface-attack (M) Guided missile : * AIM - (A) Air-launched (I) Intercept-aerial (M) Guided missile : * ATM - (A) Air-launched (T) Training (M) Guided missile : * RIM - (R) Ship-launched (I) Intercept-aerial (M) Guided missile The design or project number follows the basic designator. In turn, the number may be followed by consecutive letters, representing modifications. ::Example: :::: RGM-84D means: :::: * R - The weapon is ship-launched; :::: * G - The weapon is designed to surface-attack; :::: * M - The weapon is a guided missile; :::: * 84 - eighty-fourth missile design; :::: * D - fourth modification; In addition, most guided missiles have names, such as Harpoon, Tomahawk, Seasparrow, etc. These names are retained regardless of subsequent modifications to the missile. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1962 United States Tri-Service missile and drone designation system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
