The nimble Pershing:

we don t leave

well enough alone.

The fir

st

Pershing tactical missile sys

tem was delivered to

the

Army in

1962. Since then, our Martin division

has manufactured

and

delivered

scores of them.

The hi

ghly mobile

Pershing has performed so success

fully on duty with the Army that a

major improvement effort is now un

der way to increase its rate of fire and

reliability.

The Pershing tactical missile sys

tem

is

per

hap

s the most remarkable

big weapon

th

e Army has.

t

consists

of a 34-foot mi

ss

ile with an atomic

warhead and a completely mobile

transpo1t and launching syste

m

our tracked vehicles, which can

travel as fast as 40 mph, carry the mis

s

il

e, its porta

bl

e launching pad and

fire control center, a communications

center and a power station. The spe

cially trained Pershing crews can thus

range far and wide over extremely

rugged terrain, keeping always in

communication with

th

eir headquar

ters, yet avoiding enemy s

ur

veillance.

Once deployed

and

set

up

, the two

stage, inert ially-guided mi

ssil

e can be

fired in minutes over ranges of up to

400 mil

es

.

t

gives

th

e Army a fast,

mobile nucle

ar

capability

to

support

battlefield operations. Pershing is now

on duty in Europe.

Martin and

th

e Army

Mi

ssile Com

mand led the Army-industry team

which des igned and built the Per-

shin

g t

chalked up the best tactical

missile developme

nt

record ever seen

at Cape Kennedy. At the same time,

military

an d

industr

y

manag

ers

worked hard to produce an effective

miss

il

e s

ys

tem at the lowest po

ss

ible

cost, while adhering to rigid quality

and reliability standard

s

Since pro

duction began in 1960, for example,

Martin has reduced its share of the

missile s cost 54

per

cent.

Now, with Pershing successfu

ll

y

deployed in the

fi

eld, the Army has

assigned Martin to make major im

provemen ts in the missile system. A

program is under way to increase rate

of fire and reliability.

t

centers on a

new mobile fire-control center and a

new erector-launcher. In a para

ll

el

program, improved components are

being

de

ve

lo

ped for the missile itself.

The improvements now planned

will permit Pershing to assume an

even greater role in support of the

Army s mission.

The several divisions of Martin Marietta

produce a broadly diversified range of prod-

u

cts including missile

What o the

Pershing

and the

Copperhead have

incommon

Theywork

r cuilu>tJ_

Martin Marietta s commitment to

mission success continually proves itself

with systems which perform in the hostile

environs of the battlefield and deep space.

For example, Copperhead, a

cannon-launched, laser-guided artillery

shell, withstands a 9000 G muzzle blast

and unerringly finds its target.

And Pershing, the Army s most

powerful missile system, has proven

itself in more than 400. est and training

Jaunches in the last two decades.

This same dedication to mission

success translates into other programs,

-

among them TADS/ PNVS, Titan, the

Hellfire laser-seeker, ASALM, Pave

Penny, the Patriot missile

and

the Space

Shuttle extemal tank.

Uncommon systems such as these-

and many others that we produce all

have much in common: Whatever their

mission, Martin Marietta s first order of

business, and ultimate goal, is to make

themwork.
