Ram (rocket)
The RAM, also known as the 6.5-Inch Anti-Tank Aircraft Rocket or ATAR, was an air-to-ground rocket used by the United States Navy during the Korean War. Developed rapidly, the rocket proved successful but was phased out shortly after the end of the conflict.
==Design and development==
In 1950, the outbreak of the Korean War resulted in the United States Navy urgently requiring an aircraft-launched rocket that would be effective against enemy tanks,〔Parsch 2004〕 as the existing "Holy Moses" high-velocity aircraft rocket was expected to be ineffective against the armor of JS-3 heavy tanks.〔
The development of an improved rocket was undertaken with remarkable speed; a directive to start work on the project was issued on July 6, 1950, and the first rockets were delivered to the war zone on July 29.〔 Over the course of those 23 days, the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, located in China Lake, California, developed an improved version of the HVAR, with a new, shaped-charge warhead replacing the earlier weapon's charge.〔 The fuse for the shaped charge, developed with the same haste as the rocket itself, was considered dangerous, but proved to be safe enough in service; it was described as being "() as dangerous as the Russian tanks" it was designed to destroy.〔Babcock 1998, p.179〕
The RAM was described as being superior in armour penetration to the conventional bazooka's warhead,〔"(Navy Rockets Hit Reds )" U.S. Navy: Naval History and Heritage Command. Accessed 2011-01-08〕 being capable of penetrating to of armor plate.〔C. C. Lauritsen, Pre-NOTS Caltech Rocket Programs, The China Laker, Winter 2010, p. 3〕〔Babcock 1998, p.181〕
