Brazo
The Brazo missile was an American project, intended to produce an anti-radiation missile for air-to-air use. Developed by Hughes Aircraft and based on the AIM-7 Sparrow air-to-air missile, the Brazo underwent a series of successful test firings; however, the program was terminated at the end of its test program. ==Design and development== A joint development project between Hughes Aircraft and the United States Navy,〔 the Brazo missile (named as a pun by one of the project's Navy developers, a Hispanic; "Brazo" is Spanish for "Arm", the acronym for an Anti-Radiation Missile〔Stevenson 2001, p.18.〕) project was initiated in 1972, as a proof-of-concept demonstration of the utility of an air-to-air, anti-radar missile.〔Parsch 2003〕 In 1973, the United States Air Force's Pave Arm project, a program with similar goals, was merged into the Brazo program, with the Air Force assuming responsibility for testing the missile.〔Friedman 1982, p.179.〕 The first air-to-air anti-radiation missile developed by the United States,〔Morison and Rowe 1975, p.282.〕 the Brazo utilised the airframe of the existing AIM-7E Sparrow air-to-air missile, fitted with a new, Hughes-built passive radar seeker head developed by the Naval Electronics Center.〔Fitzsimons 1978, p.425.〕 The seeker was intended to detect and home on enemy radar emissions, such as those on interceptor and AWACS aircraft.〔Gunston 1977, p.96.〕
