This paper describes the design and performance of the subsystems being developed and flight tested for the ERINT-1 Missile. The ERINT-1 Program, sponsored by the U.S. Army Strategic Defense Command, consists of the design and flight test of a prototype missile and launch control system for defense against ballistic and maneuvering tactical missiles and aircraft and cruise missiles. The ERINT-1 Missile also has capability against air-breathing aircraft and cruise missiles. The technologies demonstrated by the Flexible, Lightweight, Agile, Guided Experiment (FLAGE) Program and previous ERINT Programs were utilized by the ERINT-1 Program. The performance of the missile is increased to provide intercept capability at higher altitudes and longer ranges than was previously demonstrated by FLAGE. The missile components are redesigned in order to provide packaging commensurate with the small, lightweight, agile missile concept while increasing missile performance. This paper discusses the design, operation, and capability of each of the missile subsystems and those elements of the Launch Control System which have been developed for the Flight Test Program.
